Angel Garcia remains frustrated by the WBC’s requirement that his son Danny defend his newly won WBC welterweight crown against Amir Khan.
In the wake of Garcia’s decision-victory over Robert Guerrero on Saturday, WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman said that Garcia “must” fight Khan, his mandatory challenger next “by June.”
On Wednesday morning, Angel Garcia, who trains his son, was defiant and puzzled why the WBC would want his son to face Khan again after their first fight was so lopsided. Garcia (32-0, 18 knockouts) stopped Khan in four rounds in 2012, flooring him three times in a junior welterweight unification match.
“I don’t see nothing there,” Garcia told ******.com. “(If they fight) it’s going to be a repeat of the same thing again. Danny will knock Khan out. I’m not underestimating him but…I don’t want to get into the WBC politics. Danny is the champ. But I don’t see nothing happening there, in my opinion. I don’t think we’re even looking at that, honestly. Why would we fight Khan? There are bigger names out there right now. Khan had his time. He made a lot of money in boxing. I don’t know why he stood around waiting for Floyd (Mayweather) to fight. It never happened. I don’t see (this fight) taking place.”
At the same time, Garcia acknowledged he may ultimately have to face Khan again if the WBC threatens to strip his son of his title. Danny has no plans to vacate the title to avoid a Khan rematch, Angel said.
“We’re not trying to go on bad terms with nobody,” Garcia said of the WBC. “Were not trying to do that. Why would you be the champ and then vacate the belt? That’s disrespecting the boxing world. If we have to do it then we have to do what we have to do. But I’m just saying I don’t see nothing there for me. (But) we’re not going to run from anybody. We’re not scared of (Khan).”

Khan will go in the ring respecting Danny's power
I expect a lot of clinching
He might get dropped, but he'll survive
Last time around, he got dropped, but people forget he got back up and fought for another round, toe to toe action, which was the stupidest thing he could have done.
Although i didnt think the fight should have been stopped, as Khan was coming back to his senses
Angel is ignorant... however I liked him over Guerrero's dad.. lol
On one side, AMERICA is the land of opportunity yet he disses GGG and Khan and other fighters for coming to make money.
Ignorant to the extreme. Combine that with the immaturity and the, "why fight a tough opponent when you could fight a Salka?" mentality and I see nothing to like.
Garcia has looked like sh1t lately I'm going to say China Chin Khan will pull off the upset
DSG looked like sh*t vs Morales, he didn't exactly looked all that dominating vs Holt either, prior to the Morales fight. None of those performances mattered when he fought Khan after the Morales struggle. All these struggling performances, don't worry, none will matter vs Khan in the rematch. Khan is Khan, biggest egg layer in the sport. He underperforms in the biggest stages.

Garcia sounds shook.....he knows that the first fight was a fluke and that Khan's speed will annihilate Danny Boy.
Could Angel Garcia be any more of a cunt. Already whining about a mandatory defence for a belt they've had for three days. After being handed their shot at it on a plate.
Anyway I think Danny is just too solid a puncher for Khan. Khan will survive some big shots but not all of them.
This would be a tough one. Wouldn't know who to root for. I don't mind Danny, but his father might be my least favorite person in all of boxing not named Haymon. And Khan is definitely my least favorite boxer. So how do I possibly choose someone to root for?

Khan will win the first few rounds and get caught again. He never met a left hook that he didn't like. Even Molina was landing that hook
this, everyone catches khan, no matter how danny's been looking, he will land eventually. even collazo had him on queer street.

Hes Frustrated with the WBC? Garcia had no right to even fight for the belt and hes upset the have to defend against the nmber 1 ranked
I'm definitely going to root for Garcia in this one...
In case (by a huge mistake) Khan gets that belt he will lock it up in the great mosque from Bolton and we will never see it again.
No he won't...he will call out Floyd, Pac and Bradley in that order...then will rub it in Brooks' face.
