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

[sbbigmike]

Danny holds enough self-confidence and skills to go for a FMJr. fight...
Unfortunately such a fight doesn't sell -- after what happened to Canelo...
Unfortunately...

I believe this also, Canelo completely embarrassed himself and made it hard for future Floyd opponents going forth, he didnt fight like a world class fighter fighting to be the king of the hill, as much as people call Hatton all type of bums he knew his weight would be a advantage vs Floyd, thats the blueprint and Nelo had the hands to put that blueprint into action and he completely checked out, taking asswhippings and breathers on the ropes, not to mention him melting down into a Ortiz like mental midget.....

The bad thing is Garcia is legit, a undefeated undisputed champ at 25, with no paper titles for vacant straps vs hand picked opponents like Canelo, but like you said Canelo ruined it Floyd detractors may want to see him venture to 160, they damn sure wouldn't accept a lww moving up to 147 although Garcia is know to get up to 170-175 in between camps

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.

And Danny does have a intangible his elite counter punching and proven legit power at the highest of highest levels which he's been fighting at for the last 2-3 years, which will only increase with age and weight.....................

LOL. Let's see how long it takes before people start to warm up and buy into this fight.

you will find the same posters that say no to this fight all picked Lucas to KO Danny. They are the type of fans that see power and nothing else. They thinking Danny can't win is exatly why he might do well vs floyd.

Another Bernard Hopkins Blablabla.Go back and watch how Amir was whipping him until he got caught, that will be the same blue print Mayweather will use without getting too close and comfortable....Another ass whipping is in the making if only he is not looking for a payday

Winning two rds ain't whipping him. Now the two following rds is what I call whipping.

Garcia would get smoked. He was getting owned by Khan until he caught him with that wild hook. That hook will never hit mayweather. Nor anything else garcia throws.

Smh he was getting "owned" and then amir started getting hammered!

BHop doing his best to sell Danny as a threat. That's exactly what he's supposed to do. I don't believe Danny's quick enough to trouble Floyd and it will be difficult to time him like he did Khan.

Why do people act like Khan had Danny in trouble in their fight. Yes, he was beating him to the punch but once Danny began to time him and punch with him it was over. The fight didn't even last 6 rounds. Danny was never in danger of going down. Khan hit the canvas 3x.

it's really hilarious that ppl still bring up the khan fight as if it means jack **** right about now.

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

Cuz ppl just refuse to give my boy props but its cool. I don't want their props. **** them. Had Lucas won, the next big thing n challenger for Floyd. Danny wins n it's like whatever.

It'll sell better then you think. Legit 140 lb king vs the 147 lb king. It's better then khan or devon too.

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.

Khan or Alexander winner??? Lol Danny almost killed Khan. And devon vs Floyd would be boring as ****! Trout just lost Canelo, can't fight him after schooling Ginger. If Lara can get a good fight coming up I would like him vs Floyd too.

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

Lol it's hilarious, I love it. That bastard is being humbled for what he did to the Puerto Rican flag. He is now all over the nut sack of a Puerto Rican kid from Philly that's aiming to be a huge star. And he wants to help him and go along for the ride.

Danny KOd a fast and combo-savvy Khan... Danny might do well enough against Floyd. But no one would like to see Angel Garcia "selling" this fight. No one...

I love what angel does tactically. He puts all the focus on himself so if Danny loses Angel gets the blame and not danny.

We can agree it might be better if he didn't do some of what he does to raise the visibility of the fight.

Angel is smart and I love what he does. Talks a bunch of ****, some of his own and some of what I'm sure Danny himself would like to say but let's his dad do the talking. And he does the fighting. Worked to perfection vs Lucas.

LMFAO...
They hype these fighters up so much..
Then Floyd joy Mayweather steps in and takes em to school

Slow down killa...in Danny's last 7 fights, he's only registered 2 KO's - one was a TOTALLY shot to $h!t Erik Morales, and the other to the ever-chinny Amir Kahn. I don't know if that qualifies as "legit power at the highest of highest levels" as you stated. As for his counter-punching - Floyd is an elite counter-puncher, Marquez is an elite counter-puncher, Hopkins is an elite counter-puncher - Danny doesn't quite fit that bill just yet, but he is improving with every fight.

Everybody understands what Angel "tactically" does... But the poor man is so low class and pathetically irresponsible while talking whatever he's talking...
