Comments Thread For: Garcia: Me and Peterson Can Fight, It Can Be Above 140

Yup he can't make 140 anymore

The only reason this fight is remotely interesting is because of unification

I agree! Danny is on his Canelo ****. But a fight at 142 vs Peterson makes no sense. Rematch Herrera!

[RubenSonny]

Sometimes common sense is lost, the unification is more important than two fighters compromising their healths, all whilst killing the quality of the fight. Kills me sometimes......

Peterson recently said coming down to 140 was harder, maybe they didn't catch that.

Peterson should have moved up after the Khan fight, if I remember correctly he weighed in at 155 that night, he is a HUGE 140 pounder.

[Wicky]

I don't care if this fight is for unification or not, but if it isn't, both guys should surrender their belts and allow proper 140 fighters (Herrera) to fight for them. The idea that the current belt holders might fight for non-unification is totally phuc'in ridiculous.

BTW. Danny is total pus5y and both are paper champs/chumps.

[Hougigo]

How does a title on the line change the quality of the fight? How does it make the fight actually better?

It actually makes it worse, clearly both should not be at 140 and would be healthier at a higher weight.

If they're both having trouble making weight, fight at WW. WTF is this middle B.S? Both are 140 and he's talking about somewhere in the middle? Are they trying to invent their own weight class hoping the WBC will sanction a belt for it?

you'd think higher weight would be dannys advantage. but maybe thats what peterson needs to gain more power on his punches.

Peterson is who he is and he is not nor has he ever been a power puncher. His punching power may have even less effect above 140. see. FMJ, P. Will and others

Weight divisions dont seem to matter anymore, as long you have enough money/power you can choose your own weight where you feel most comfortable and squeeze out all the advantages against your opponents. If you cant make 140 then you have to fight at 147.
