I think this is the worst I have seen Danny fight. It seemed that he "couldn't" pull the trigger; over history a precise sign that a fighter is too old, damaged goods, or his reflexes and killing instinct is gone...the prey is laying hurt in front of you but you can't bite it.
Please let me know if you too have the feeling that in fact, too many times Danny was in the pocket and in punching range but simply didn't do it.
:killyou:
Danny hasn't exactly shined at 147 and he went up against the 2nd or 3rd best in the division. He wasn't going to look good. Plus he will of been told to not hurt one of master Als money makers.
He could have done a lot better against Spence if he threw something other than the right hand. I mean, by the second rd and about 20 right’s, Spence was probably well aware to expect the right hand and have his defenses up for it. This fight made me think Danny is kind of a dumbass. But him getting probed to death while he swings and misses his garsh’s was what most expected.

Havey ou seen him fight before? He always fights like this. Add that his best nights have never been at 147 and this is what you get. TBF I think he did ok.
his best win was against glass chin khan and old washed up Morales. he fights the same and throws the same punch. he's lucky somehow to get to the point where he's at with a coked out trainer dad and 2 thot twin sisters.Are u sisters thot's too?? u a bish as lil boy.
Danny is a good solid fighter his best weight was 140 he just not quite there to get a WW title, a strong contender at the tail of his career.
Garcia actually was WBC welterweight champ, beating Guerrero for vacant title.
Again, if somebody beats Crawford, will you say: Crawford is just solid fighter, he is not good enough to be welterweight champ?
Danny is not a bad fighter... he just lost.
We act like better fighters have never lost a fight.
Danny's amateur career was something like 117 W 13 L
His pro losses were close losses. Never been KO'd or even knocked down etc.
Danny needed to let his hands go more and NOT wait or try to time Spence
I’ve never been convinced by his power at 147. I mean the likes of Redkach went the distance with him. Danny at 140 would have blitzed Redkach IMO.
I think part of it’s he’s lost a little bit of hunger and secondly I just don’t think his power is a difference maker at this higher weight class.
The hunger part is interesting but at least for this fight I thought he was focused and came ready to fight. He just had that look all camp at what was at stake.
Power for most fighters will be less effective as you move up but I don't think power is his issue really. He dropped Mathysse but it's not like he won that fight by knocking him out. Won it that way vs Khan but his timing is his biggest advantage. The jab by certain fighters has been able to off set that.
I think he still has heavy hands though. Both Porter and Thurman said he was the hardest hitting fighter they have been in the ring with. He's just not able to put two or three big shots at a time as he was against a little lesser competition.
Overall he's still mainly the same good fighter he was at 140. Only difference is he's fighting bigger and better guys at 147.

I agree with many of you that might be that simply he doesn't belong to the elite at 147 we way we thought a few fights back because as a matter of fact, he got a reputation (at 140) amount boxing expert, the he aways found a way to win.
I think now he will need a great match maker to keep him relevant at 147.
I don’t think he carries the same power at 147. Guys like Collazo and Lopez hurt Thurman more than Garcia did.
Garcia had fight changing power at 140. He seemingly doesn’t at 147.

I don't see much difference in Danny at 140 compared to 147. He's just fighting better competition.
I mean who is better Khan or Spence? Matthysse or Porter/Thurman?
And I don't think Danny looked bad last night. He was on more than his other fights and was really trying to counter Spence at every opportunity but Spence took the fight out of him with his jab and body shots. He’s just not on his level, no shame in that.

I do not believe he is damaged goods, however I do believe he has hit his ceiling. Meaning he is where he is and cant go any higher.
He was lights out at 140, but at 147 he is basically a damn good gauge or gatekeeper for up aand comers now.
Keith Thurman took that soul from him
What’s Danny really done at 147. He was great at 140 but has flattered to deceive at 147.
What’s his best win at 147? Guerrero? Rios?
