Comments Thread For: Is Danny Garcia's Hall of Fame case on the line versus Erislandy Lara?

[Boxing Scene]

If Kostya Tsyzu is in the HOF, why shouldn't Danny Garcia be a member? Whether he wins or loses against Lara, he should be invited into the Hall.

Because DG ain't nowhere near Tszyu. You're ridiculous.

Lara beat ****ty Canelo..facts. Canelo should have at least 4 losses on his record.. POS cheater.

Absolutely not. Danny’s career is similar to Shawn Porter’s who I also believe isn’t a HOF fighter. Garcia lost to Spence Thurman & Porter and Porter lost to Brook Thurman Spence Craword and you could even argue he lost to Ugas. Appreciate the heart of both just my opinion.

Lara did way too much moving against Canelo to win but outside of Lara I agree, Canelo/GGG 1 should have gone to GGG.

I think Lara takes this . He too smooth and not slow like Garcia is . Speed is the issue

Lara hasn’t been that active, but he’s been burning it up compared to Garcia. Danny hasn’t fought in two years, and he’s had exactly one fight at 154. Garcia started his career at 140, and Landy was ripped at 154. At 160, Lara is much more at home. And although already 41 years-old, the Cuban hasn’t shown terrible decline. This fight shouldn’t be happening to begin with. I wouldn’t be surprised if Danny takes his first career KO.

With all respect to Garcia, but his fights work better on me then nyquil, you know you are up for a 12 round snooze fest.. HOF is for ELITE, so No ! Tszu is way better then Garcia

Those Cubans age well. No denying that

I thought so, too, but I also had Lara slightly ahead. Didn’t surprise me he didn’t get the nod versus the Golden Ginger. I thought Landy gave that fight away, but it’s very possible the only way to win would’ve been by KO anyway.

I am a Garcia fan and I think he is not hall of fame material. He got a few good wins but lost the ones that mattered. He had a good run at JrWW but going to WW is where he fell short. He has a controversial win against vs Herrera but I think he clearly won against Teophane. He was fun to watch but when matched to the top he could not go into second gear.

He really needed another trainer but never seek that out.

How many boxers did he beat that are in the HOF that he beat when they were in their prime?
