It seems no one would really care for this fight, and I can't see why. Sure, I don't think Danny would beat Floyd, but he's as deserving as anyone around Floyd's weight right now. He's beaten Khan, Judah, and the big bad horrifying killer Lucas Matthysse. He's universally regarded as the best 140 fighter in the world, will be stepping up in weight. He deserves Top 10 P4P consideration after handling Lucas.
I don't see the problem with this fight. It's basically the same scenario that Mayweather-Hatton or Pacquiao-Bradley were. Undefeated #1 140 fighters deserving of Top 10 P4P consideration.
Now if he fights Khan next, then you have something to b*tch about.
I cant understand why Garcia wouldn't want Floyd? Maybe because Garcia knows he can insult Floyd as much as he wants, but Floyd will still fight boring and not take chances for a ko for Garcia like against Khan.
I wonder what this place would be like if Lucas beat Danny. All these people prob cry saying Floyd is ducking lucas lol. Danny is top 10 p4p and people don't wanna see the fight?
QUALITY POST.....garcia deserves the fight with floyd just as much as bradley and pak.
The thing is, by all rights, Garcia has earned the fight. I just don't see it being competitive at all. The list is very short for legitimate fights that Floyd can take. I'd be fine with this fight. I just don't know how excited I would be.
I don't get why people want danny to hoot and holler for a mayweather fight. Hea never done that. Just because you don't say a bunch of stupid crap like Guerrero before a big fight doesn't mean you'll fight scared in a big fight. Danny is a quiet dude, if mayweather decides he wants to fight danny next then I'm sure danny will give it his all in the ring.
Agreed.....

Rios was like a walking Margarito 2.0 to me in that fight. It had the same outcome, fairly boring one sided UD written all over it, a fight to showcase Pacquiao's speed. It's a shame Pacquiao doesn't get the chance to fight other fighters at 147 like an Alexander or a Guerrero.
I think Pacquiao looked pretty good against Bradley. Sure, he fought in spurts here and there, but he defeated a very good Bradley handily.
Definitely but it's hard to say if he's the same as when he fought Bradley a year ago because he was fighting a guy much worse than Bradley for starters and someone with a completey different skill set.
A rematch with Bradley would be a great fight to see where he's at IMO.
I think it's hard to gauge considering the opponent.
Pacquaio still looks fast and strong, and still has his legs but it's hard to see where he's at against the top level opposition.

Manny has slipped. And he's slipped big. I would be all for a Floyd fight honestly but I don't think ppl will at all be blessed with the results. I also don't think it will ever happen. Simply put, there is zero indication that arum/top rank/hbo would be willing to work with Schafer/Gbp/Showtime. Fans can scream all they want, but that just not how the world works. Rite now, there a hphuge Cold War going on in the boxing world, and that not gonna change over one fight. Not rite now.
I think the hand speed and foot speed, and the angles are still there. He's slipped but not as big as some are making it out to be. I think Floyd has slipped a little too. Both guys IMO are past prime-still good. I wouldn't pick many to beat Pacquiao around his weight. And I think as long as he avoids 1 big punch from Marquez, he beats him easily in a rematch, and does the same thing he did to Bradley in 2012 again next year. Pacquiao got put to sleep by JMM but he was winning handily and looking good aside from 2 punches.
To be honest, did Manny look like the Manny of 2009-2010 last week.....No
But I don't think Mayweather is quite as good as he was against Marquez and Mosley either.
I think Manny looked more or less how he did in 2011-2012, same with Floyd. That's still THE FIGHT. It just has no chance of happening with Arum in the picture.
I would love to see Mayweather fight Bradley coming off beating Marquez, but again.....TR/Arum, no way that happens.

I've never seen it either. Smh.
I think it's because I said Mayweather wouldn't get credit for beating Martinez in the other thread.
That somehow translates into comparing Amir Khan to Sergio Martinez :thinking: :lol1:
I genuinely have no idea how that conclusion has been formed.

I would like to see Garcia fight Mayweather instead of Khan but Khan has a three fight deal with Showtime. The other two fights were against Diaz and Molina Showtime and GBP are trying to cash out on Khan now.
Garcia dad already said that he wants to bring Swift to the 147 division slowly. I would like to see Garcia fight the winner of Alexander vs Porter winner next year.
I haven't seen a single person make that comparison and I actually don't understand that comparison.
Why would Amir Khan be compared to Sergio Martinez here?
I've never seen it either. Smh.
If Pacquaio has slipped enough for Bradley to beat him then I think he'll leave TR in pursuit of a Mayweather fight.
