Keith Thurman vs Danny Garcia in Decemeber

[bojangles1987]

Epic fight.

I lean on Thurman but it's definitely a competitive fight IMO.

Sadly I don't see it happening, atleast not yet.

Probably be a lot of posing and feinting because both guys like to counter punch, but when they let punches fly it would be awesome. And they would throw some fierce punches.

Thurman would destroy Garcia. Why isn't this fight happening?

Chin vs chin, I think Danny has a big edge. Could see Danny Hurting him.

If it goes to points then Thurman.

But Danny seems to always pull it out so who knows, definitely intrigued.

Thurman would not destroy Garcia.

Thurman would not destroy Garcia.

Garcia is an ordinary fighter. He can't deal with the footwork and speed long enough, to combine with Thurman's power to not get destroyed. Garcia would take a beating and get stopped, IMO.

I think Thurman getting stopped is more likely than Garcia getting stopped. I could see Thurman winning a decision in a close competitive fight but Thurman has destroyed no one of note for me to think he would destroy a Garcia who has been in there with a slew of solid fighters.

heard that one before.....Where Matthysse and Khan now?

Garcia would be Thurman's best opponent...in his prime...hungry and isnt just gonna lay down...no easy work...let alone "murked"

He got his ass kicked by herrera and lamont. And has looked very average at WW. Thurman is faster and has more power, porter is a better WW than DSG its an easier fight for thurman that porter was

I think after Matthysee, Garcia has looked almost progressively worse in each fight. He's flat footed, has average power, speed, etc. No one he's fought since Matthyssee has a package of skills with any combinations that feature the pop that Thurman has. IMO.

I think Danny is average, against those solid fighters you mentioned, he basically got his ass beat kinda. Thurman has a way more destructive arsenal than Peterson and Herrera.

Can't that be Garcia's next fight? Still plenty of time to make another fight to end the year if Garcia won.

Haymon needs to stop keeping his fighters out of the ring for so long.

The last time Garcia fought three times was 2012, so it ain't got **** to do with PBC. I don't see that pattern changing this year. Maybe they'll put him and Jacobs on the same card.

I think Danny was struggling to make weight at 140 and that hampered some performances. I've never seen him hurt before and he's taken some bombs. I don't think he's average at all. I just think nothing stands out about him which is why people make lazy analyses like, "he's average." He's well-schooled, solid puncher, solid beard, solid quicks and can box moving forward or backward (see: Matthysse, Guerrero). He's got a wealth of amateur experience and is battle tested as a pro. No one is going to walk over him easy.
