Garcia vs Peterson at 143?

No title should be on the line any way. Garcia and PEDerson are paper titlists, making 140 the biggest joke division today.

"Salka was not a title fight" ^ came here to post the same thing. So Garcia will have back to back non title fights? If Peterson and Garcia (who hold 3 alphabet titles combined) are not even fighting to unify belts ... why not just move up already? I don't really see Broner vs Garcia/Peterson being a bigger/better fight than a 3 belt unification between Garcia-Peterson for all Broner's flash and loud talk, he hasn't really been in tough since Maidana. We'll see if John Molina can provide a test

what a joke. they'll only defend their paper belts against scrubs (i.e. salka) so they can get an easy win/defense and still call themselves "champs". danny and peterson are two of the worst most disgraceful champs in boxing today and quite possibly the longest time since ever. Salka was not a title fight

Peterson is nothing without Roids , he was koed against against mythyssee as if he was a pillow , so Danny Garcia (coward) is fighting another BUM. and i dont know why fans are excited about this fight. I was thinking about the roids as well. All in all this should be a good fight...LeFty

Hell according to a lot of posters here titles don't mean anything right?

So Peterson a bum Cuz Lucas khtfo??? out??? what a joke. they'll only defend their paper belts against scrubs (i.e. salka) so they can get an easy win/defense and still call themselves "champs". danny and peterson are two of the worst most disgraceful champs in boxing today and quite possibly the longest time since ever. The Salka fight wasn't a title defense

I knew Haymon would f*ck it up someway, hopefully the card fails now. I don't even consider Garcia a champion in any way anymore. Aside from losing to Herrera his last two fights will be fought at 142 and 143, he's no longer a JWW and Peterson should never have had a belt. The excitement for this fight went from a 7 to a 4 that quickly. Only Haymon can f*ck something up that people actually want so badly.

agreed! Both guys have talked about having trouble making 140 and likely are only staying there in order to maintain their status as title holders. I'm glad they're fighting at a higher weight where they'll be able to perform a little better without any weight drain effects and be safer when it comes to taking punches. I just wish they would've moved up to 147 for this fight but I think they're holding off because they don't want to be officially thrown with the guys at 147 yet. There's very marketable fights to still be made between Garcia/Broner & Peterson/Broner, which could be the other reason they're not fulling moving up to 147 yet. Very positive response! :boxing::boxing:

I respect all of your opinions! But I think this will be a good fight.I also think that Lamont will out hustle Danny. Again, both are slow starters, but once "Havoc" gains steam in the later rounds, he can do some damage with that monster body assault. But that's why they fight. And We will see on April 11th..... :boxing::boxing:

Ladies, & Gents: Is it true? Will Danny "Swift" Garcia finally fight Lamont "Havoc" Peterson on April 11th? is it also true this will be a non title bout at 143??? What in the "wild world of sports is going on here"??? Is this a ploy by Haymon, or the Garcia camp??? Why won't they unify the titles????? Now I know 75% of the bloggers here like Garcia. Both are slow starters, But if Danny does not land his left hook, or at like a Philly fighter, and hit him with low blows, Lamont will wreck "havoc" on him with great work ethic, and powerful body shots. To me Peterson will out work Garcia.... :boxing::boxing: So this means Peterson will be knock out twice and still keep his belt

Peterson is nothing without Roids , he was koed against against mythyssee as if he was a pillow , so Danny Garcia (coward) is fighting another BUM. and i dont know why fans are excited about this fight.

Dannys retarded no look hook could be a game changer. . Lol ya that punch is deadly, but outside of that Danny's not a big puncher and I don't see him being able to hurt Lamont. I think Lamont can outwork danny but hell get robbed.

2 fighters (champions) I suppose in the same weight class fighting above the weight class for money alone?? Great, excellent, more to be ashamed of.

Garcia's win over Lucas was a great win. Since then he has been a very poor champion. Now he is fighting a guy Lucas beat so easily instead of giving Lucas a deserved rematch. I would rather see a rematch than this fight, The fight being at 143 is terrible. What is the point of that when it could have been a unification fight boxing so badly needs more of? I think Garcia will win but I hope he loses for being such a chicken champion.

Do you think it's a Haymon Ploy for both not to put the titles on the line, or both fighters not wanting to take the risk of a unification bout? Either way, I think fireworks are gonna fly with this bout! also would the winner have to face someone like Crawford, or the winner of Broner/Daiz, or Figaroa kid?? :boxing::boxing:

Yeah I think Peterson will give Danny a bunch of problems, but then again Dannys retarded no look hook could be a game changer. It's still a good fight but without the titles, it took off a lot of steam in my opinion.

Thank you for the response! Yes, I'm stoked about this bout. Not many are giving Peterson a shot to win this bout. I think he out hustles Garcia. His work ethic in the ring is a throw back to great fighters in the past that are too overwhelming to overlook. Besides Lomenchanko, who else works the body, the head, the movement in the ring??? You just don't see those ring fundamentals anymore. Just dudes either running, or looking to load up shot, after shots! Again, just one person's opinion...... :boxing::boxing:

Yup. It's at 143. Took a lot of interest out of the fight for me. Both are title holders, but now no belts are on the line and on top of that this fight is like 2 years late. Personally I think Danny can't make 140 anymore, Angels excuse when Danny was humiliated by Herrera was "he was eating weight watchers" :dunce:
