What's wrong with Garcia vs Guerrero?

Me personally, I think Guerrero is a good match up. (It doesn't hurt that theres the whole Ruben vs Angel thing either). I'm happy that they are not throwing Danny in there into the welterweight division, and instead they are blending him into the welterweight. We don't even know how good Danny is in welterweight division. So how can Guerrero be a bad match up? People think Danny should be fighting Kell Brooks, Thurman or Porter (even though they both have fights with each other), but these established welterweights aren't fighting each other as well. How are people expecting Danny who isn't really established as a welterweight to do what these other welterweights aren't even doing? It's the Puerto-Rican American vs the Mexican American. ***** I'd pay just to see Ruben vs Angel in the build up.

So what's good? Turned out to be a pretty good match up last night right? Not like I was wrong.

It will likely have some decent action b/c neither is fleet of foot , Garcia does better when guys come towards him which is what Guererro does. It just has no significance if Garcia wins I mean he beat Guerrero ... so what....

You know it's a bad match-up when people are looking forward more to the fighter's dad trash talking then the actual fight

You're wrong. Guerrero lost to and was nearly knocked unconscious by Aaron Martinez. Guerrero hasn't beaten anyone since 2012. Khan at least beat Algieri and Alexander recently. I like how you only mentioned Aron Martinez. And also how you showcased Guerrero's "loss" and Khan's wins, when I'm talking about comparing both their losses. Guerrero lost to Thurman, Mayweather, and the Diaz guy earlier in his career. Both Thurman and Mayweather were the favorite to win. Khan's lost to guys he was favored over. Besides, isn't Khan trying to go all in for the Pacquiao fight right now?? Ok, so there's that. The only welterweight currently fully available right now is Guerrero. (And please don't say Andre Berto or some sh*t.)

Do you really believe Danny Garcia is rightfully number 2 in the welterweight division? He's had 1 fight in the division. Against Paulie. Come on man. Danny Garcia should not be ranked number 2 in the division. Guerrero is a good fight for Danny for where he stands currently in the division. ****, if Guerrero is washed up, then so is Khan. Guerrero lost to better oppositions than Khan. Tell me I'm wrong. You're wrong. Guerrero lost to and was nearly knocked unconscious by Aaron Martinez. Guerrero hasn't beaten anyone since 2012. Khan at least beat Algieri and Alexander recently.

Khan and Garcia are #1 and #2 in the WBC rankings and Khan has asked for that rematch for years. They should be fighting each other.

Not one i'm particularly looking forward to. I think Guerrero is shot these days. The trash talk between the two trainers will be cheesy as hell also. Garcia is taking it fairly slow so far in his WW run, but if he wins this one and faces the Thurman Vs Porter winner. That will be a real test for him.

like who? u guys are giving no examples at all ur just *****ing and moaning I did give an example, and so have others. Anyone who has actually won a fight in the past 3 years would be nice. Or even better, one of the two guys who have whipped Guerrero's ass this year.

Nothing wrong with it I just would rather have Garcia and Thurman, Porter or Broner mixing it up.

the whole Ruben vs Angel thing is corny, who the f*ck enjoys a fight being made because the trainers may talk some ignorant sh1t to each other? Isn't there a talk show you can watch right now for that? I thought it was a good undercard fight for Thurman-Porter, but whatever, on it's own, it's okay. My opinion of Danny has lessened, so this matchup is really just a reflection of what I thought he succumbed to. It's not a bad fight. I would've preferred Garcia-Aaron Martinez for that level.

Guerrero was never that good but now he's clearly washed up, so he's almost bum level he cant punch, his chin has deteriorated, is slow as syrup and skills are still poor This another handpicked match to make Garcia look better than he actually is Garcia is terrified of fighting anyone who can punch ever since the Lucas match That match probably ruined both fighters, Danny has managed to hide the truth thanks to his cherrypicking ways and gifts from judges, unlike Lucas who's been fighting stiff opposition, and showing a steady decline in the process.

Because its FREE BOXING with a former champion vs current champion, so called "boxing fans" cant stand this kinda match up, and it free? Oh hell naw or is it because its not on hbo oh my bad its because Floyd used to work with Al Haymon, so the racist pricks will try to downplay it because of Al Haymon :poke:

Guerrero has done nothing in years and got his ass whipped in his last two fights. Paulie was supposed to be Garcia's intro to the weight. He had two WW catch weight fights before that. He should fight someone better than this now. This division is full of talent that won't fight each other. like who? u guys are giving no examples at all ur just *****ing and moaning

What's wrong is that it's not Garcia vs Khan which is what I really want to see! Besides, Guerrero's best days appear to behind him... This! Having said that, for DG, this isn't a bad fight at fully fledged welter and how he deals with Guerrero will help me better appreciate how he deals with the upper tier at 147.

Im sure Garcia is one of the highest viewed fighters under the PBC format so i suppose its a way to build up a clash with Khan later in the year. Obviously would have preferred the rematch but if guerrero has anything left, it'll be an entertaining fight for sure. Guerrero not exactly a massive WW and same goes to Garcia so its a decent matchup in that sense.

In the welterweight division, there are Pacquiao, Bradley, Thurman, Brooks, Porter, Maidana, Khan and Guerrero. Let's look at the options here. Pacquiao and Bradley are with HBO and TR, while Garcia is with Haymon. You already know. Maidana is retired. Thurman and Porter are scheduled to fight each other. Khan already happened. Kell Brooks is fighting Chaves I believe. Rios is retired. Sounds like the obvious choice was Guerrero. And don't pick out a random name just to prove me wrong like "uhh Andre Berto tho." Khan and Garcia are #1 and #2 in the WBC rankings and Khan has asked for that rematch for years. They should be fighting each other.
