Comments Thread For: Danny Garcia On Erislandy Lara Showdown: "3 Division Champ Coming Soon"

[Combat Talk Radio]

"On August 5th, at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, Garcia will officially take on current WBA middleweight champion, Erislandy Lara. Their impending contest will take place at a catchweight of 155 pounds."

Damn, it's not bad enough that Lara is 40, but a 155 catchweight too?

Called it, the exact weight.

Kudos to Swift for taking at least some risk. At least it's not a smaller opponent.

Sadly, the IBHOF is one of the most pathetic out of all of professional sports and he’ll probably get in. Just being an “underdog” shouldn’t be the criteria. Just that statement alone says everything that is wrong with the IBHOF.

You must be a new boxing fan. Go check danny resume then we’ll continue this convo.

I like both fighters. This is a bad fight for Danny

This will make for some good white noise to sleep to. Danny above 140 is a solid gate keeper and that's all. Lara by UD with Danny following him around the ring with his hands in his pocket

Danny should be considered for IBHOF simply because of his resume. People forget Danny was the underdog for most of his fights during that epic run at 140, yet he beat everyone.

I remember everyone said Lucas would win by KO

140lb campaign definitely gets Garcia in the hall of fame but his 147lb campaign was hot doo doo even if he fought Spence,Porter and Thurman…..those guys are not that good except for Spence.

Lara is 40 now, so I have to favor Danny by decision. I think he can do just enough to pull it off. Danny needs to fight more than once per year if he wants to be taken seriously after this.

You’re right. Not saying he deserves it and should get in with his current resume, but if he can beat Lara and maybe 1 or 2 other Ws, he’ll have a good argument.

Man, that fight was one of my fav! So hype when Danny got the knockdown. To think that was on the undercard of Canelo V Mayweather. They don’t make undercards like that anymore lol.
