Danny Garcia at ww?

[Clos02475]

[QUOTE=boliodogs;14573123]I think the better welterweights like Maidana, Marquez, Bradley, Porter, Pacquiao, Thurman and Mayweather will all beat him. I think he can beat Khan, Rios, Guerrero and Broner. I think Matthysse can beat him in a rematch at either 140 or 147. When he leaves 140 I think Garcia's days as a world champion are over and done with. I don't think he can beat any of the 147 pound belt holders.[/Q


You brought up good names that i too agree, Danny wont be able to beat. However i would like to see him fight Thurman because i know it will be a really exciting fight while it lasts. Now I think Danny can and if there is ever a rematch beat Matthysse he is the much more better boxer. Danny should handle punches better at 147.

He's fought at Welterweight. He hasn't weighed 147 but he's fought at the 147 division. Numerous times.

He's even fought and won one of the lower versions of the WBC's Interim Welterweight titles.

He hasn't weighed 147, but I doubt he'd weigh 147 if he moved back to Welterweight anyway. And it wouldn't matter if he did or didn't the weight class is 141-147.

Okay again thanks for the info is really great stuff. But my question now to you is if the WW division runs from 141-147 why when any fighter fights at WW they call it a Catch Weight. Example just reasontly Marquez and Alvarado fought a catch weight fight at 144.

It's a catch weight but it's still a Welterweight fight.

Marquez-Alvarado was a Welterweight fight.

Any fight between 141-147 is a Welterweight fight.

And none of the fights Garcia had at WW were at a catch weight.

Garcia's history at welterweight seems to indicate that he's undersized for the division, which would explain why he decided to make jr ww his home. Many, perhaps most, welterweights drain down to make the 147 limit, while Danny (according to the posters here) comes into welterweight contests weighing less than the limit.

In any event, this topic has been discussed before, and my answer remains the same. There are too many good fighters at the top of the welterweight food chain for Garcia to have the same success he did at 140. Danny has proven me wrong before, though.... lol

A catch-weight is a weight limit, agreed upon by the fighters, that is not one of the recognized weight limits. Marquez and Alvarado could've agreed on a weight of 141, 142, 143, 145, 146 (all catch-weights) and still fought within the welterweight limit (141-147). The fact that they agreed to a weight no higher than 144 makes it a "catch-weight fight."
