Swift is a REAL welterweight and he's fighting a REAL welterweight....so there should be no complaints....we got mfing so called MW monsters fighting welterweights these days and dudes be defending that f*ckery....now just sit back and enjoy the card.....if you mfers can accept 3 cans for Lil G until Nelo throws his thirsty ass a bag of money then you can accept Swift vs Berto before Mr. One Time gets put on the menu....stop overreacting whenever Swift get ready to tighten a mfer up
He hasn't given anyone anywhere near the top 15 a tough fight since Ortiz. He has gotten destroyed by every decent fighter he has fought since. Garcia will do so too.
I disagree with that. I don't want to sound like I'm defending the Berto Garcia fight because I'm not. And I'm not all that interested in this fight. My initial point was Berto is bigger, faster, and stronger than Danny, yet people give him no chance. Theoretically that seems odd. To me Berto and Khan are the same fighter. Beat the bums yet lose every time they step up.
Berto can give 95% of the division a tough fight.

At this point Berto sucks. At his best he was winning disputed decisions against Luis Collazo, who was a decent, tricky fighter. He was never better than average and after all the years and wars he flat out sucks now.

I don't think he sucks. I think he's not tough mentally. If he can't knock you out in the first 6 rounds he gets beat. He's a flawed boxer is all.

Danny Garcia is trying to make as much money as he can. As long as he can fight decent but not great competition and get paid $1 million plus, he will continue to do that. A Berto fight would be a 50/50 fight in my opinion and would be the best fighter Garcia has fought since Matthysse.
Lol how? He just fought Guerrero who beat the crap out of Berto. How many journeyman is Garcia gonna pile up? Morales, Zab, Paulie, Guerrero, and now Berto, line up Collazo for next year, Danny wants that old ass too.
DSG was once a true warrior who had one of the strongest resumes in the sport. Since 2013 his body of work is Doo.
It pains me to say that because I love the underdog story but this boy ain't fighting NOBODY threatening.

In other words, he sucks. But for some unknown reason he was given many opportunities.
The hell with Garcia. He's the only man to have ducked both Mayweather and Pacquiao. He claims an unbeaten record but lost to Herrera and looked horrible against Peterson. Done nothing since Matthysse. Had the time to up his game and fight real opponents and turned it down.
The other fight is much more interesting and I will tune for that one. But i sure as hell not tuning in to see Garcia. The man is pathetic.
That doesn't mean **** when a fighter like Berto sucks though.

I never said he was great or he sucked. What I said was he was bigger, stronger, and faster than Danny. Which he is. Are you going to say Danny's bigger, stronger, and faster than Berto?

The same posters that pump Excitement or entertainment when justifying poor matchups on HBO suddenly find this is not enough of a standard for Haymon associated fighters that do not fight on HBO.
You're not wrong.
He's fighting Berto a year after "TBE" Floyd fought him. Not so bad when u think about it that way. Waste of time tho like almost everything else in Boxing. We need Garcia vs Thurman next.
lol yes indeed, remember Kirkland.... the fight that "saved" boxing after Floyd n pacs "boring" fight
LOL. I was thinking about that fight. Canelo KOing Kirkland is great for the sport but Garcia KOing Berto would be terrible.
I get Berto is not an opponent a champion like Garcia should be fighting at this point but I just wish the "excitement"and "action fight" posters would be consistent.
