I didn't see too much snap in his punches when he fought Lucas Matthysse.
He had power in that fight but not stopping power. Matthysse kept coming. DSG didn't have enough power to stop Matthysse from coming forward, so he resorted to low blows, clinches, and headbutts.
What do you guys think?
Will Danny Swift have power at 147?
Garcia is a good boxer, and that's all he needs, maybe his chin will be less durable at the weight but if it can hold up I believe he will still be able to KO the likes of Broner, Ortiz and some others aswell.
I don't think so. He is already stiff up top and with the weight added to go to welter I think he will be a Froch. Solid power slow as
A turtle and small at welter. I think paulie out boxes him . At welter Danny needs to be able to outbox guys . He isn't stopping anyone
Dude you can't seriously have just compared Froch to Garcia.
Paulie wouldn't outbox Garcia.

If Danny moves up he will lose all power, get dispatched like Broner, and ferFAL will disappear forever.
If he can move up without losing any speed he will be fine.
I'm confident in my assessment of Garcia. I called two upsets with him, said he would take Amir's life and beat Lucas. He doesn't exceedingly stand out in any particular area and has some flaws, but make no mistake about him being a very skilled cerebral fighter.
Fair enough. Do you think he's more cerebral than guys like Marquez, Malignaggi or Collazo? Do you think he is durable enough and carries enough power to trade with Maidana, Rios, Ruslan or Thurman? Just curious, not trying to bust your balls
I think his power will be fine at 147.
People tend to overlook Danny's power because he doesn't have a high KO % on his record. While that is a good indicator I don't think it is for Garcia.
From what I've read and heard, Garcia has solid power in every punch. He doesn't have that one punch KO but I think his punching power is like Cottos. I'm not saying he hits as hard as cotto but each one is solid and after several rounds their opponents will start to bruise and bleed.
What Garcia lacks in one punch ko power he makes it up with superior timing.

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
Everybody ****s on Khans chin cuz Danny broke it but forget Chino couldn't drop or finish him. Zab never did nothing to him and Peterson either. Diaz did though, lol idk what to say bout that.
He got 16 KOs in 27 wins (59%).
His power is good, but not great. I guess it will stay the same way at 147.
this, danny's power is good. but the thing is khan can make you look like the hulk due to his chin. btw didn't danny fight at welterweight before?
I can see Garcia punching harder at WW. He looks very big at LWW and must have to work very hard making the weight. I feel he will be really strong at WW.
I think he will have slightly above average power at 147.
He will have more pop that Bradley that's for sure
Also Danny has great timing which can factor into the power department in some cases
He dropped morales in both fights who went 12 with maidana and didn't go down, has never been down from just 1 punch (he usually goes down from accumulation)
He dropped judah like twice and he went 12 with matthysse.
He dropped khan from 1 punch who didn't even go down once with maidana. 3 Times.
He dropped Lucas Matthysse who has an ATG chin and has never been down before.
He has the body type that is still in shape at 160, he can add more muscle and strength to his build and he WILL have more power at 147.

Just to confirm, i'm agreeing with this.

I think Danny will get stronger. He looks a little scronny for his body frame at 140 but im sure he makes the weight easily. But he does have the type of body that should be able to grow stronger without giving away much speed, movement etc. Not all fighters can do so, but I believe Danny is in a position at his current weight to be able to move up and get naturally stronger.

No, his only two KO wins at 140 are Khan and old Morales at the second bite.
He's not going to move up and start knocking opponents out.
1st Morales fight should have been a KO for sure. Morales was already past shot but I don't know if that was Danny's lack of power or if it was his lack of offence. Looked really tentative the first go.
