Danny has indicated that his next fight will be his final appearance at 140-pounds, as he intends to move up to the welterweight division to pursue another world title.

"I had trouble getting down to weight, it was hard this time" -Danny Garcia

"He doesn't have trouble making weight" -Angel Garcia

Now read between the lines...Angel doesn't want Danny moving up because frankly he's going to face his own kind of punching power at 147 and will have to fight the porters, the thurmans and actual even sized men. Now Brother Richardson about a year or so ago did an interview with Boxingscene where he said "Danny walks around close to 180, he and others can get away with it because they are young". Now you can take that with a grain of salt because Richardson doesn't weigh danny between bouts but take a look at pics of danny between fights..does that kid look 140, 150, 160 to you? Nope. So yeah this kid is struggling to fight in a division that's perfect for him because he can get away with dropping 25 or more pounds. I think this kid runs into a brick wall at 147 if they don't match him up cautiously.
