Why are people saying DSG is ducking 147 fighters?

[The_Sandman]

I think if Danny was truly ducking, he wouldn't have moved up to 147. I think he went up there knowing that at some point he will have to fight the Thurmans and Porters and Brooks. It's inevitable. He fought Malignaggi his first fight at the division. People pretend that they don't understand that Malignaggi is a gatekeeper and Danny, for his first introductory fight into the division, fought just that. A gatekeeper. That makes sense to me. First fight. Gatekeeper. Then he moved on to a little tougher competition Guerrero. Isn't this how it works? In school, don't we start with the 101 courses, then move up to 210 220 or whatever? Now don't get me wrong, I know how the pattern works and I know how boxing works. I'm not dumb fan. Danny will not be fighting killers after killers just like anyone else. That's too much wear and tear on the body. He will fight some soft touches. The thing I like about Danny is his vulnerabilities. He struggles against soft touches as well as killers. But he always finds a way to win. Will his next fight be against Thurman vs Porter winner?? Hopefully. But all I know is that Danny didn't move up to 147 thinking he will never cross paths with these killers. If he moved up to a stacked division, trust me, he knows he's eventually going to fight these guys.

Because we are talking about a man who fought Rod Salka. People have every right not to expect much from him.

Dude, Rod Salka is one opponent. He shouldn't overshadow his victory against everyone else. Rod Salka did nothing for his career. It didn't elevate or diminish him. I don't count Rod Salka as anything in Danny's resume or career.

Fight PM and Robert Guererro and don't expect to get called a ducker? Surely you jest.

That's the point it did diminish him for many fans. I know it's only one fight, but that's how bad it really was. In many people's eyes Danny isn't the type of guy who will go after the best. And like I said I think they have every right to think that way. Hopefully he proves them wrong.

By the way: Why DSG is ducking 147 fighters?

[-MEGA-]

I would say im a DSG fan but that Herrera fight and RRod Salka fight really hurt his career. Hes been in protective custody ever since.

Danny is doing way better than most other guys in the division. He fought Peterson last year which was a ww fight and Lamont is pretty damn good. Now this year he has fought Guerrero and likely someone else decent. I don't see how he's ducking any one. He already has a better resume than Keith Thurman and kell brook.

Wait, didn't I already address this? Remember when I said PM was a gatekeeper? And Garcia fought a gatekeeper for his first fight in WW? Isn't that what you're suppose to do? Rather than throw him in there against killers right away? And when Garcia vs Guerrero was being made, wasn't Porter and Thurman in negotiations??? Do you know how long it took Thurman to finally fight Porter?? And he was in welterweight for a while now. Unlike DSG who just moved up.
