Comments Thread For: Hopkins: Garcia Can Adapt To Mayweather's Style

[Rapid8Fire]

I wouldn't mind seeing this bout, Floyd needs an opponent anyway why not..Danny's surprised me several times already lol.

[boxingmanic]

Nahh, I wanna see Mayweather in with someone with genuine handspeed and decent footwork. So Lara or the Khan-Alexander next please. Even Trout would be interesting.

If the sport is the best vs the best than make Floyd vs Garcia at 147, this is the right fight to make regardless of what the "experts" say, Danny deserves the shot, and none of the so-called experts have been right about him so far..

Danny maybe deserves it, but Floyd should be provided with somebody who sells big... Danny doesn't...

Hell why not? He's done more to earn it than canelo did

Very true, but that doesn't change the fact that there isn't one intangible that Danny possesses which would give him even the slightest glimmer of hope against Mayweather. Danny will hopefully stay at JWW and pick up a couple more great wins and continue to raise his profile with the casual fan.
Showtime, on the other hand, is gonna have to make a Broner - Mayweather fight ALOT more sooner than later.

This.......


It'll be interesting seeing Floyd face a true counter puncher, a elite one at that. And people keep bringing up speed, speed doesnt mean everything people skills pay the bills and Garcia is easily the most skilled and ready potential Floyd opponent, on top of that Garcia speed is underrated like I said a while back he lulls you to sleep like Cotto, then he pounces unleashing 4-5 vicious shots before you even blink. Thats the type of challenge I want to see Floyd take.....

Garcia is going to adjust to the fighter who is known for adjusting?

[-PBP-]

the funny thing is had matthysse beaten danny this board would've been screaming for a floyd - matthysse fight

now danny beat him impressively but hardly anybody gives him a chance

irony for ya

LOL. This is true. The "Floyd is ducking Matthysse or Will Floyd duck Matthysse?" threads would be out of control.



But IMO, Matthysse wouldn't win a round either.

its going to be hard for mayweather to make a match cause alot of his viewers are those who hate mayweather and want to see him lose and there is really nobody left besides martinez or pac man if he looks good against rios maybe bradley if it plays out right. but at some point in these 6 fights he is going to have to fight 1 or 2 fighters that are in the khan alexander garcia sector its impossible to avoid

[Deevel916]

The only fighter within Floyds weight limits that I see giving Floyd trouble is Pac. He has a combination of speed/power/angles/awkwardness/explosiveness/ footwork/and is a Southpaw. Jmm was able to time and ko him but it took him 4 hellacious fights to do so.

hopkins' man love for garcia is starting to reach uncomfortable levels.
