There's a long list of semi-retired opponents waiting for Garcia. Soto Karass, Kamegai, Bundu, Lopez, Collazo, Malignaggi rematch and many others. Forget Khan.

"I don't want Danny to fight Khan" Angel Garcia
Collapse
-
The bedding in period with Hunter should be over now and Garcia is one of the fighters that I'd like to see Khan in the ring with along with Bradley, Thurman and Porter. Anyone below that level gives the impression that Khan and his team are tiptoeing their way around the division trying not to risk losing an eventual big payday against Pacquiao or Brook.
I want to see Amir facing challenges at this stage rather than merely attempting to prolong his career against lesser opponents. Garcia is an ideal fight. The back story makes it sellable and Danny is basically a good all-round fighter whose best attribute is that he finds a way to win. I can't see him doing that a second time, which is precisley why Angel doesn't want the fight.
I don't see Khan under Hunter throwing the kind of unthinking right hand uppercut from out of range that got him clocked in the first fight. Garcia had run out of ideas. That left hook was all he had and Khan gave him a get out of jail free card.
Other than Brook or Pacquiao he'd do well to be calling out Garcia for a rematch. Of the top opponents in the division the only fighter he'd handle with more ease for me is Guerrero who I don't see as a credible test.

Garcia stopped Khan in 4 rounds, it's not down to Garcia to chase a rematch with Khan.
And Angel is right that Khan would have never given a rematch even if he won a close fight against Danny.
Khan should be the one pushing for a rematch but he doesn't want it either for different reasons.
He did want Garcia and has stated a few times since the Danny fight, and Danny's father has always refused.

But he isn't!
" . . . tiptoeing their way around the division trying not to risk losing . . . " is a very accurate summary of his last couple of years.
Khan is with Haymon. He could have earned a shot against Mayeather by fighting Thurman, Porter, Garcia, etc, all Haymon fighters so fairly easy fights to make, or by fighting Brook.
For whatever reason he has chosen to try to get the biggest fights by not taking these challenges so has noone to blame but himself that he now relatively irrelevant at 147.

Yet he's ended up fighting the likes of Molina, Diaz, Collazo, Agieri etc.
He says to the media that he wants the Garcia rematch but doesn't actually do *** all to get it. He clearly doesn't really want it.
