      I still look at Garcia as a prospect. Remember hes a yr ahead of schedule. He wasnt even on Khans radar at first and if Peterson doesnt test positive we arent even having this conversation. He would just be another kid with a belt. He doesnt have elite talent like a Broner or Gary Russell Jr, so he can only prove it by beating guys in the ring. Once hes fully developed who knows.

        Perhaps. The tools are there for him to become an elite. First order of business to get there is to move dad to 2nd chair and get himself an elite trainer. Pedro anyone?

            I think he's already overachieving, im far from sold he's ever going to be elite, i think he's going to get a beatdown and stopped before he gets to being elite. I dont even dislike him, my eyes just dont have faith in what they've seen

                not yet, but swift is young, and I think he will get to elite level. he definitely has it what it takes, and the fact that EVERYONE sleeps on him makes it so much sweeter

                  A lot people are saying beating Judah is a barometer, but Judah already got dismissed by Khan at the weight. I know styles make fights and all, but it's going down a notch to prove something he's kind of already proved.

                  Like others have said, he's a good prospect right now, but too soon to tell. Morales is way above his natural weight class and completely shot, and Khan was beating him pretty handily for two-and-a-half rounds.

                    I think its too early to tell whether he is an elite fighter yet, so far hes good. He hasn't had that mega-fight which launches him onto the p4p top 10 list against another top level fighter. Wins over an old Morales and Khan were impressive, but they were not great fighters themselves (Morales was before ofc).

                    I think Danny is talented and I hope he can achieve that status

                      Ppl need to give Garcia his props but he's not quite yet at the elite level. They talk about how he's so basic,how he beat shot fighters in Morales and Khan etc etc.I can accept the fact that he beat an over the hill fighter in Morales but it was his coming out party where many of anybody's favorite fighter do. Nobody knew him just estimated him as some pushover as I thought. As for the rematch,Morales threw in the rematch clause wrench. But i wont deny the fact that he beat the dog **** out of Khan and that was a solid win for the books.Unification,undefeated,first title defense in his career,and to top it all off HE SHOT DOWN the Khan plane from landing a Mayweather match. Ppl should thank him for saving us from that pointless fight and not immediately landing himself a Floyd fight.


                      Judah doesn't do much for his legacy but in the aspect development of his game as Garcia lacks speed.
