No way Garcia beats Lara there's no way. Lara might have aged but he's still a world class fighter until someone truly dominates and wipes him out I'm going to stick with that. His only losses are to top dogs in close fights and the way he dispatched of O'Sullivan was impressive. I'm not rating O'Sullivan crazy high or anything but he's still a decent fighter who only has losses to world champions.

Thurman on the other hand that's a 50-50 fight and they still have unfinished business. Thurman has fought at 154 before and he is trying to stay active, I think this is the fight that gets made next. Someone said Thurman isn't active well neither was Garcia until this past weekend and Thurman fought not too long ago so should be the perfect time for it to happen if it's going to happen again.

This the thing with people on this thread talking bad about Garcia moving up to a new weight class and expecting him to take on the killers right away. He had a long lay off after going 12 rounds with someone who just butchered Ugas face, obviously was going through some **** as evident by his post fight interview and needed a decent stay busy fight against someone who wasn't a complete bum in a new weight class. You can hate on Benavidez Jr. but he's not a terrible fighter he was a standout until the shooting and even with that handicap he is still in there holding his ground against championship caliber fighters like Crawford and Garcia.

I'm ok with Thurman next eventually if he's going to want the belts he's going to have to fight the champion. That fight will happen everyone just wants to see him get thrown in there and get slaughtered which is exactly what will happen if he were to fight someone like Charlo next, **** it would probably happen regardless but at least after a few fights at 154 he can settle in and give himself a better shot. Who knows how much longer Charlo will be at 154 anyways he might move up to 160 within the next year.

He got balls for calling out Lara. Which fighter calls out Lara? I don't know of any. Even the Charlo sisters want none of Lara, who's been calling them out multiple times.

[STREET CLEANER]

Unless they know something I don't know I don't know how they are going to beat Lara. Thurman looked sharp in his last fight but his inactivity has to be hurting him.

These guys simply don't stay active enough to create any momentum or interest.

Thurman and Danny barking the wrong tree calling out Lara. Lara might not be what he once was but he still has plenty for older 147lbs moving up. His left hand will discipline Keith and Danny.

[champion4ever]

I actually, like a potential Keith Thurman matchup but Danny is going to have take more risks in that fight if he is going to be successful. While he looked good against a shopworn and washed up Jose Benavidez, Jr; However, Keith is totally different. He can box and hit.

[champion4ever]

He beats a handicapped has-been, and now wants to fight the "forgotten" Thurman or Near the end Lara at a catch weight. You gotta respect that!

Too funny! However, I still think Keith whoops his ass though.

[champion4ever]

I hope Danny can get over the anxiety and depression. Most times we forget fighters are human beings and it was a bit emotional to listen to him let it all out like that last night.

I agree. I believe it was what held him back when he needed to take risks against fighters outside and inside of the ring.

[Bronx2245]

Excellent ideas and fights that should easily be made in pbc. Love it when contenders and former champions fight each other just because

I was kinda hoping he would say, "Yeah I would like to fight Tony Harrison!"

You're right what the hell is DannyGarcia ****ing talking about here, has he lost it completely, or what?
First of all his come back fight against Jose" I only act Tough" Benavidez, was a 12 round sparring secession.
I don't think that Thurman is going to want to fight him at this stage of their career's, Kieth is probably looking for bigger money fights.
Remember Kieth had his elbow injured by Danny in their fight, had to get surgery, and was out for nearly 2 years.
Why would he take a risk of getting injured again by Danny, in a less profitable fight than he can get against a better ranked fighter?
Then calling out Erislandy Lara at a catch weight of 155 for Lara's bull**** WBA 160 pound title, I mean Lara would have to desperate to come down in weight?
On top of all that he gets so emotional that he starts crying after the fight, then he's talking all this other crap, that he should know probably won't happen.
Before he does anything else he needs to sit down with a professional, to see if there are still any underlying condition's, for his own well being.
