    Yes agree. But Danny can fight floyd, make a big payday, then still have lucrative fights (Lopez on the canelo floyd undercard).

    Losing to floyd wont hurt your marketability unless its Manny IMO for reasons we all know.

      That said, if beating Garcia was gonna get Khan a floyd fight, beating Khan logically should get the undefeated garcia a floyd fight.
      truuuu. Garcia is certainly making a name for himself

          He fights Canelo next.

                Danny would take the fight in a heart beat, like you said he has nothing to lose but he must do more to even be considered by Floyd.

                  floyd, out of jail, presumably needing a tuneup, vs an al haymon fighter, puerto rican, undefeated, coming off a big win.

                  The main reason I like it because Danny earned the fight by beating Khan. That aspect is missing from boxing, especially since very few champs fight their mandatory #1 contender, and we sorely need it back IMO.

                    I'll be tight if Garcia gets the fight... I'll be happy for him on a personal level, but as far as competition, the conclusion is foregone, I hate fights like that.
