Funny but this came through my mind just now, Danny Garcia's scheduled fights in 2015.
Lamont Peterson in January
Victor Postol in June/July
and Manny Pacquiao in November
If Garcia wins all three fights, he'd be on the top pound-for-pound list after Mayweather retires.
Are you calling him B+? He's the poster boy of a B- or C+ fighter.
He is a solid B. He fights on the top level and has been successful against some decent competition.
So many at NSB are always downgrading the truth of a fighters grade. The guy who Peterson just beat was probably a C fighter. On a realistic scale a C fighter should be an ordinary talent who wins and loses in club fights. The ones that usually lose are D fighters. And nobody should be calling Lamont Peterson a club fighter. He is better than at least 90% of the others in his division.
Peterson isn't really good. No idea why they've prolonged that fight as if it's something big. C level fighter.
Postol fight most likely isn't happening. Garcia's going to vacate, and while good, Postol is still in that untested area.
Pacquiao? I don't really see it, and he'd lose wide if it did happen.
Not a very likely scenario all around.
Peterson is well above a "C level fighter" in reality.

If he beats Peterson January/February 2015, impressively, and gets through the mandatory defense against Postol in June/July 2015, impressively, he becomes the challenger for Floyd Mayweather Jr. not much else to say about that.
Garcia(c) vs Peterson(c), with the Ring/WBC/WBA/IBF 140 titles on the line, is a pretty massive fight (could possibly co-feature on the biggest American heavyweight championship fight in recent history or headline its own show). If Garcia looks good in victory, he leaves no doubt to his status as kingpin of 140.
Garcia(c) vs Postol, then becomes a tough "bridge" fight to the final Floyd Mayweather Jr event.
You set up "old lion"/p4p king (Mayweather Jr) versus "young lion"/140 king (Garcia), you have the Puerto Rican audience with a new star to rally behind, and now you also have the possibility of having Chavez Jr as the chief support, bringing the passions of the Mexican and Mexican American fans along with him. You sell the fight as Floyd's last one, and likely sell 1.5m PPV buys.
i'm starting to lose faith in danny, he hasnt fought a live threat in ages
he should just move up to 147
Unless Pac he staying at 140, i'd like to see Danny Vs Pac and also Danny vs Broner
Lol Lol Danny has a soft touch 2014 and now all of his carreer has been a soft touch, fucc outta here son
Danny has fought elite opposition before and he will do so again on his next sht.
I thought Garcia-Postol is a go, until Dela Hoya announces he wants Garcia vs Peterson, personally, I want those fights to happen for Swift to clean up the 140-pound division, we all know there's no Herrera rematch and I think Matthysse will destroy both Broner and Provodnikov.

I wanna see Danny beat a solid name @ 140-147 before he faces Floyd(147) or Manny(140 or 144).
I wouldn't want to see him fight Floyd anyhow, cancerous style matchup.
You know you would be jumping for joy if Garcia knocked out Mayweather with a no look left hook, as would every other mayweather hater would.
This is more bloody likely, Garcia vs Peterson in early 2015. Garcia vs Herrera 2 in the middle of the year. Garcia vs Crawford at the end of the year.
Danny is in line for a real challenge on his next bout, mark my words...Al knows Swift can be a perfect PPV opponent for Floyd but he needs to fight someone credible first just like Khan is doing with Alexander.
I think Danny takes on either Lamont or Adrien on his next sht, or maybe a move to 147.

Lamont Peterson in January
Victor Postol in June/July
and Manny Pacquiao in November

I think we need to see if any of those fights actually go down.
