    Danny Garcia: 2 Split + 2 Majority Decisions.. How Many Losses Should He Really Have?

    Garcia has had a lot of very close fights in his career, many of which he could have easily lost on the scorecards but was lucky to escape with the W. Which of these fighters do you think actually beat him?

    Mauricio Herrera (officially majority decision)
    Lamont Peterson (offically majority decision)
    Kendall Holt (officially split decision)
    Ashley Theopane (officially split decision)
    Robert Guerrero
    Zab Judah
    Lucas Matthysse

    Herrera and Peterson should be losses, not too sure about early on his career with Theophane but i hear it was close.

        Won them all but Herrera, had Theophane I think by a point but I can't be too bothered by the decision it could of gone either way so I won't scream robbery.

        I felt he beat Peterson and so on only fight he legitimately lost for me was Herrera.

          I think its like with Felix Sturm who also had a few questionable decisions in his favour suddenly every fight that is close people claim he was gifted. Everytime its close, a split decision people shout robbery.
          A lot of the time like judges, fans see what they want to see.

            The guy hasn't dominated any one of relevance. Seems to show some sort of flaw against most opponents. But he's kind of like a polished Carl Froch. He just... wins.

              He lost to Herrera. Everything else is just people crying about close fights. People want to see him lose bad now.

                Still mad over Garcia putting Khans lights out?

                The true answer is only Herrera

                  He should have lost to rod salka for the virtue of cherry picking.

                    In my opinion he only lost to Herrera. He had some other close fights but they weren't losses or draws. They were close wins. Peterson could have beaten him but he gave the fight to Garcia himself. Peterson dominated him when he went on the attack in the later rounds. Peterson gave away too many of the early rounds by staying out of range and throwing and landing very few punches. Garcia didn't land much either but he was the aggressor and landed the harder punches. Peterson ran too much in too many rounds to get a win or a draw in my opinion. Peterson waited too long to go on the attack. Guerrero and Matthysse put up good fights but they lost.
