danny's first fight with morales looked bad for him, very close fight and morales was fat and shot, had no business at 140 or to even still be fighting.
anyway danny's resume is a bit better but Khan had more heart and thus was more exciting. You knew he was going to get that chin cracked but man to see him go for broke time and time again and want to trade, atleast he has some balls. Danny was given a fresh off a near death experience with implanted false teeth Spence and he only fought to survive, didnt even try to press a post car wreck Spence. Danny is a pussy
Every welterweight in last 10 years was calling out Mayweather and Pacquiao. I don`t know what are you trying to say.
Khan looked like complete trash even fighting lightweight Diaz at 147. You say Garcia was "exposed" in 3 losses that were very competitive fights. I should give Khan a credit for being destroyed by Crawford and Canelo or something? Lol, wait, even Danny him self beat his ass badly, lol. The point, I am making is Danny Garcia has always been overrated. He was never as good as boxing fans tried to make him out to be.
Also, Danny Garcia never called out Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao but Amir Khan did. I believe that Freddie Roach may have prevented the Pac fight from happening because he was still a holding a grudge against Khan for firing him.
We all know the story about why Khan never fought Mayweather because Floyd opted to fight Marcos Maidana instead.
Did you watch the Holt fight? Danny was 23 years old and that was a big step up with Holt coming off the Diaz win. He fought Peterson at 143 and beat Granados worse than anyone has. Granados competed just fine with Porter and Broner.
And Danny definitely wasn't exposed vs Porter/Thurman.
Yes, I am definitely aware of his fight against Kendall Holt. However, Kendall Holt was a gatekeeper by then. In addition, he won that one by way of split decision. Also, you mentioned Granados; Another gatekeeper. Khan would have beaten both of those guys. Lastly, 143 lbs is welterweight. It's not Super lightweight. Lamont Peterson was a solid opponent. However, most boxing fans thought Danny came away with a gift that night as many believed Peterson deserved the nod.
He took on many risks and chances then Danny Garcia. Khan was calling out the likes of Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao at 147. While Danny Garcia was content on fighting the Brandon Rios', Adrian Granados' and the Robert Guerrero's of the world at 147. Khan was more high risk and high reward than Garcia. Garcia was more low risk and high reward than Khan.

No, not at all. Danny Garcia's resume is padded with cherrypicked, shopworn and past their prime gatekeepers at both 140 and 147. For instance: Erik Morales 2x, Zab Judah, Rod Salka, Mauricio Herrara, Nate Campbell and Kendall Holt at 140. Then Lamont Peterson, Paulie Malignaggi, Robert Guerrero, Samuel Vargas, Brandon Rios, Adrián Granados and Ivan Redkach at 147. The only time he fought a contender or stepped up his level of opposition he was exposed with losses against Keith Thurman, Shawn Porter and Erroll Spence, Jr.

How is this even a question? Khan never won lineal title, he never won a title in a second weight class, and he got knocked out 4 times including by Danny Garcia himself.
This is an objective, well thought out response that demonstrates a clear answer - DSG. But even if you ignore all this, guys - Khan is a walking punchline. I mean, his knockouts were highlight quality and AJ did poke his wife and I'm sorry but it's just tough to come back from that...
You watch Khan for his blistering hand speed and highlight reel of him getting knocked out or down. Khan even struggled with a few bums and even got knocked down by Vargas. He represented the easy UK money fight.
You really didn't follow Danny's career until he fought Khan huh? He was put in tough fights coming up that he could have easily lost. Danny fought top competition at 140 and 147. Even destroyed guys like Granados who at that point never were beaten down. You are letting fights vs the likes of Salka cloud your memory regarding Danny's career. He lost vs Porter and Thurman, but those were competitive fights. His only clear loss was to Spence, who is a P4P fighter. Khan was getting KTFO and dropped in fights he was big favorites in. No, not at all. Danny Garcia's resume is padded with cherrypicked, shopworn and past their prime gatekeepers at both 140 and 147. For instance: Erik Morales 2x, Zab Judah, Rod Salka, Mauricio Herrara, Nate Campbell and Kendall Holt at 140.

The most important, as I mentioned, Danny never looked like ****. In any fight. Khan did. In many fights. He took on many risks and chances then Danny Garcia. Khan was calling out the likes of Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao at 147. While Danny Garcia was content on fighting the Brandon Rios', Adrian Granados' and the Robert Guerrero's of the world at 147. Khan was more high risk and high reward than Garcia.

Khan only won a belt in one division and never held the lineal title.
Garcia was better for longer, lineal and unified at 140, held a belt at 147, and his only losses were decisions to Porter, Thurman, and Spence.
Garcia knocked out Khan and beat Peterson, who beat Khan himself.
Khan got screwed in the Peterson fight. Home cooking. Like I said, depends on the criteria being applied. If we look at it from a money perspective, Khan has earned considerably more. He earned more fighting Canelo ($13 million+) than Danny earned in his entire career.
Depends on your criteria. Khan made more money. Khan's best win was Maidana, though he almost lost it. Danny's best win was Matthysse in a life or death battle. Danny holds a win over Khan, who wasn't really at his best weight. Khan's been knocked out 4x, Danny has never been knocked out. I'd call their resumes about even.
