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

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.

Canelo's dumbass tried to play a chessmatch against the grand master, he didn't get whipped though, he got outpointed in a glorified fencing match, he had a little mouse on his eye nothing else, looked like he just stepped out of a shower... Funny everyone says he whipped Canelo but many of his shots missed and he never knocked him down

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.

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

Angel is honest and I find that refreshing-especially in a sport where the 2 biggest stars specialize in presneting a phony image of themselves to market their fights.

Yes he has said some things that were not politically correct and worse. That said, he and his son have backed up what he's said about an opponent losing 100% of the time.

Angel is getting treated like floyd and broner-too much focus on what is said and done outside the fight and not enough on what is done inside the fight.

I guess because Lucas has the puncher chance. No one actually thought he could hang with Floyd in any way, but hopefully he would land a windmill.

Not many people thought Lucas would beat Floyd.

Danny deserves the fight more than anyone else. I hope he gets the rewarding paycheck.

there are no fighters right now <154 most people would think could beat floyd, but if it's about having a puncher's chance: danny was able to kd the granite chinned matthysse, not to mention he's at least knocked down every opponent he's faced since winning the title...I'd consider that having a puncher's chance

Garcia deserves that payday he should get it instead of that dancing buffoon Khan

GBP are already promoting this fight. Danny doesn't have enough output or speed to be a legit threat to Floyd

If you choose to limit the definition of whipped, be my guest. The reason Canelo resorted to boxing is because he didn't want to get hurt or KO'd. Thats become standard for all Mayweather opponents-they stop throwing and the fans blame floyd.

Who is the more ruthless killer- the guy who chops your head off or the guy that gets you to chop your own head off?

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.

Yall look at ko's I look at the fighters he's fought and how he made them respect his power, what dont yall understand it's hard to KO and drop top doggs and that's who Garcia been feasting on, are you gonna ignore him dropping a iron chinned fighter in Lucas who never touched the canvas. It's easy to look superhuman beating on bums like Matthysse, and fighting people 30 pounds smaller like Canelo. Garcia has made his recent opponents all get buzzed or at least taste the canvas from a counter puncher style ,all high level fighters, dont get blinded by his ko%

And JMM is not a elite counter puncher, he's a disguise boxer puncher, with great footwork. A elite counter puncher wouldn't get dropped 5 times by the same punch from the same fighter, not to mention the other 5 or so lefts that put him on his ass some by c class fighters, but I digress......

[E-Thug]

Fuck me, for someone who is one of the greatest fighters easily of this era, Hopkins is so fucking ignorant. "African American this", "African American that", "Slick this", "Slick that", "Hurr hurr I'm from Philly" man GTFO with that garbage.

[frantic fighter]

Last time I checked Castillo didn't have the "African spirit" and he very easily could have gotten the nod against Mayweather,it wouldn't be Hopkins without the racist undertones ,makes me glad that Calzaghe put it to him.

I watched the fight like 10 times now and the only reason he was throwing jabs was to keep Floyd off of him while he was taking breathers, in one of the earlier rounds Floyd seen this after eating a nice jab, and instantly ripped off a quick body left hook, body right, and head left hook
