Both intelligent counter punchers who use timing very well. Neither is very fast, physically gifted, fast twitched, but what sets them apart from other fighters who aren't gifted is their timing.
nah all I've seen garcia do is throw hooks during the exchange never really seen him counter
prove me wrong though show me some vids of him countering
Well just so you know since you seem new to this boxing thing, punching when the other guy punches is called counter-punching.
I think we can all agree that no, Garcia does not resemble Marquez. Garcia gets hit too easily. Sure he can box, and he has some skill, but nowhere near the skill set of Marquez. That left hook of his is a game changer. No he doesn't just swing for the fences like some people say he does, but aside from the left hook, he doesn't possess anything special. Morales got caught pulling back as he was about to throw a hook of his own when BOOM! Whats the rule, don't hook with a guy with a better hook? We know the rest. Somebody on here has a GIF where Hopkins baits Trinidad to throw his left hook and then tags him back a right hook that stumbles him. Anybody else see that happening to Garcia?
Maybe at 140 he's a bigger puncher but Marquez has p4p the harder punch. They've got the same KO% with Garcia just starting to fight the top guys after all the chumps in his natural first division while Marquez is fighting in his 4th and 5th divisions at 40 years old against the best in the game and still has the same %.
no danny punches hard than any version of JMM no disrespect tho cuz both guys are great in their own ways
Different fighters. Garcia is a bigger puncher and has a better chin qualities that make Garcia very hard to beat not to mention his growing skill set! And Danny is Philly tough!

NO
Garcia is a blue collar fighter, he doesn't do anything great but he seems to do everything good. His fight vs Khan showed he can take a punch and isn't afraid to stand in the pocket.
I think he's got more power than we give him credit and he has a good chin but he's nothing like JMM. JMM is a master counter puncher, he is incredibly accurate and can neutralize another fighter with his patience and intelligence.
The only fighter who has JMM's skill as a counter puncher, is Mayweather IMO.

no... his left hook is good tho.. no feints, no beautiful combos, the guy is pretty raw..
The bold is the truth. Timing maybe, but even thats pushing it. When you miss Marquez with a punch he makes you pay with accurate combos. If you play the waiting game with him he'll feint & frustrate the hell outta you. Danny can time pretty good, but his punches can be so wide at times.
