Not directed only at you as I see a lot of comments here about Herrera. But Garcia was fighting, for the first time in Puerto Rico , which caused a lot of distraction and stress for him. Distracted from all the hopla from the attention and interviews and sightseeing. Stressed from the pressure of having to perform well in Puerto Rico. Watch the fight again and watch his face the stress is apparent. Herrea also prepared for and fought the fight of his life. He fought valelently and very well but only managed to make it close.

Danny would literally walk over hererra in a rematch today. There should t be any Doubt about that.

I wish people would watch the DSG vs Herrera fight again. Herrera out jabbed DSG all night but that's where everything ended....DSG was doing all of the power punching and combinations thru the entire fight. Jabs vs Power punches? Power punches always wins!

Pointless fight. Nobody, not even those so-calld fans who want to say "greatness dominate" should ever want to pay for this.

I disagree. I feel if you completely cleaned out your division then move up, you're a instant player in the new division. Your prior accomplishments can't go unnoticed. I love Bradley and his competitiveness, but by the same logic, who has Bradley beaten at 147? Provo, who again by the same logic, never fought above 140 prior to the fight. A shot Brandon Rios? Vargas is a nice victory, but he's not world class fighter. Even though paulie and Robert are passed their prime, they're still no pushover fights.

You forgot Marquez.

Even though Garcia is undefeated and, I would argue, has some very good wins, he's still low risk for Floyd.

Regarding GGG, the "who has GGG beat?" question is total BS. GGG has destroyed everyone who's had the balls to get in the ring with him. The only reason he hasn't fought bigger names is because those bigger names won't fight him at middleweight. People say, "well, why doesn't he move up to 168," but that's BS too. He wants to unify at 160, which is 100% legitimate.

Fans who find fault with GGG's resume are generally the same fans who don't want their favorite fighter to face him.

He can stay @ 160, but he just won't be placed at the level of those who have gone up and won titles at multiple weight classes like Mayweather, Pacquiao, Cotto, Hopkins, etc., until he does. Hopefully GGG gets to fight Canelo, and then we'll see what he does after that. I think he has the potential to be an ATG, but we'll just have to wait and see.

Herrera is somewhere laughing.

You're probably right...though Hagler was an ATG without moving up. Granted, that was 30 years ago and standards have shifted.

People complain about this fight but really? Danny is undefeated and is a champion. Floyd would be fighting another champion. Make excuses all you want its a fight that may or may not be easy for Floyd. Floyd gets discredited regardless of who he fights so why the hell not give Danny a shot, he's the champ at 147.

The problem many of you have here is you want Floyd to fight GGG when that weight class is way above Floyds natural weight against a guy that is not willing to come down no matter what he says in GGG. Its a fantasy to even ask for that fight. GGG should be fighting at 168 and will ultimately end up at 175 before its said and done. Floyd started his Career at 130, GGG has always fought at 160 never moved up or down its his natural fighting weight.

It is absurd to call for that fight when GGG would not even budge to go to 168 to fight Ward. But he wants a guy that started at 130 to come all the way up to 160. Its ******ity on some of you on this board.

That's what I hope GGG doesn't become...Hagler. Hagler just waited for people to come to his weight, then again, look who was coming up:
Hearns, Duran, and SRL. I don't see that type of competition coming up to fight GGG anytime soon! I think it will better for his legacy to unify MW and SWW, and maybe a catch-weight fight with Ward or Kovalev as the "cherry on top!"

They like to do that. Garcia has close encounters with tough opponents and he's a bum who never fought anyone. Yet nearly every other fighter near his age has either already taken a decisive, clear loss and/or hasn't fought anywhere near the quality of opposition he has.

I don't know how good Garcia can be but right now he is underrated and being groomed smartly. A battle-tested, experienced, young champion with an extended amateur background. Is entering his physical prime. Is mentally strong. Garcia is a tough out for anybody and when the smoke clears, we may all be surprised at who's left standing at 147.

Preach...

I don't think Garcia beats Spence, and I don't think he beats Floyd, but everybody else???

Frankly, I'm a huge mayweather fan, but I was disappointed in him against Manny, and even more so against berto. His age is definitely showing.

Garcia is young, strong, smart, talented, and very underrated. Taking all that into account, along with Floyd's age, I just don't see him walking through Garcia, or schooling him for 12 rounds, though I do think Floyd is still good enough to win a close a fight. 7-5 or 8-4, with a couple close rounds.
