Comments Thread For: Angel Garcia: Going Straight To Mayweather is Dumb

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Angel Garcia, the father and trainer of 140-pound champion Danny Garcia, spoke with BoxingScene.com on Oct. 25, prior to the weigh-in for Bernard Hopkins vs. Karo Murat.

BoxingScene.com: What do you want next for Danny?

Garcia: “I want the best for him. I mean, he wants to go to welter. Danny doesn’t have a problem making ’40. He sacrifices. He doesn’t starve. He’ll sacrifice. He wants to go to welter. I do, too, but I want him to do it the right way. I want to do it slowly, blend him into welterweight. I’m not just going to jump him to 147. I’m going to blend him 147. I’ll take our next fight at ’44, ’43, catch weight. If not, we fight ’40. There’s always somebody out there for you.” [Click Here To Read More]

So it looks like, Mayweather-Con will happen. SMFH.

That was all reasonable thinking; I would have Danny fight on the Cinco De Mayo undercard again build him up some more.

He said jumping to 147 is the dumb greedy way...Like everyone of Floyds opponents have done.

Smart move Danny super fight is adrien broner but I see Peterson as the next opponent

I'm seriously puzzled how Mayweather could even possibly think Khan deserves a shot with him. I mean I do not even think Khan deserves to be his damn waterboy. That will be a sad disgraceful day if Khan fights mayweather next, with no fights at 147 and losing your last two meaningful fights at 140. even tho that peterson fight was shady, peterson was exposed, he's not the top fighter that everyone thought he was 2 years ago.



I refuse to believe Mayweather will allow Khan to fight him, without him fighting atleast somebody in the top 20 at 147.

Smart. I never liked guys just capitalizing on winning a big fight then jumping to Mayweather. You can honestly make the fight bigger by building Garcia a little more until he becomes a household name.

Why would you want to see Peterson? Garcia would ice peterson faster than lucas did. The broner fight sadly won't happen, they're "buddies". it'd be on PPV for sure tho, i'd buy it.

Serious question. You hate Floyd more than you love Manny don't you?

That's true. Respect to Garcia for this, he could just tell Danny "Let's go beat Floyd son, you could win!" while thinking only about the possible $5-8mill they could earn. He talks a lot of ****, but is a responsible trainer. I'd like to see Garcia vs Guerrero, Alexander, Berto, Broner/Maidana, Thurman, Lopez, before Garcia vs Mayweather. As for Mayweather's options, well they suck real bad. In a perfect world, while Garcia builds himself up as a WW, Mayweather fights Trout-Lara winner but the problem is these guys aren't bigger draws than Cotto, Canelo or some of the guys at 140-147. But the perfect fight would Mayweather vs Lara/Trout for May 2014.
