Comments Thread For: Keith Thurman vs. Danny Garcia: The Fight, Right Now

[-Antonio-]

Though not likely, I'd much rather see Bradley/Thurman.

[IMDAZED]

This is the fight and has been the fight for the past couple years. A couple of us noted this then. The two are headed on a collision course and if PBC plays their cards right, they're going to have their first true superstar.

At this point, I can't call a winner but watching people pooh-pooh Garcia's chances makes me chuckle. Is it some long-standing issue you have with him because he beat someone he wasn't supposed to or because he (with one of the best resumes of any champ near his age) is a "cherry-picker?" Silly. Garcia is damn good and he's good because he is well-schooled and experienced. He can move, he can come forward, he can counter, he can slug, he can give it and he can take it. He is very strong mentally. I don't know if he can overcome Thurman's skill and natural athletic ability but it's time fans grew up a little and recognize what is unfolding in front of them.

Gift vs Sometimes. Sounds like 36 minutes of staring at rush hour traffic hoping to see a crash.

maaaaaaaaaaaaaan you made me spit out my pepsi bwahahahahahahaha

We all know thurman vs garcia isn't gonna be next, even though it makes the most sense.

Danny will fight berto or broner next.

Garcia vs thurman won't happen this year

Little Danny Garcia is just a weaker slower version of Porter

Thurman beats the overrated Rican out of the ring quite easyily as Little Danny G is vastly overrated and has been protected most his whole meager career. Broner is a better fight for Danny Garcia.

............

I just want to clear a few things......Garcia aint afraid of anyone, Garcia has 10X better resume than Thurman, Thurman is a good outside boxer that's where everything ends. Inside the ropes Thurman's skills are mediocre, Thurman has been exposed as not having a good lower body as he's been clocked twice (once by Collazo and now by Porter) and has been hurt badly by it.
When was the last time you saw Garcia's legs shaken by anyone????

Garcia can take a punch ask Lucas, Garcia can and will adjust to Thurman.
The way I see it Thurman will hit Garcia with everything he's got and be shocked that he is still standing and coming forward, the question is will Thurman take "the garsh" punch power??
I have Garcia by body punch KO!

It seems really simple to me-either Thurman and Garcia fight next or have Thurman/Porter 2 and Garcia/Broner and the winners fight.

MY guess is niether will happen next and we will get Thurman in with his mando killing all the good will and momentum from the Thurman/Porter fight.

Exactly, it's funny how dudes hate danny for fighting good fighters. But praise guys who only fight bums.

Whether you feel danny won every fight or not, he has shown his willingness to fight any style.

Khan
Matthysse
Peterson
Guerrero
Herrera
Judah
Malignaggi

And broner or Berto next which will be followed by floyd,thurman,or vargas. I don't get the hate

I agree and I'm not even Rican lol. Now all of a sudden people think Thurman would crush Garcia? Based on what exactly? A debatable win against Porter? Thurman's OK but honestly he's not that good no inside game, lack of counter punching ability, no jab, dicey footwork. Thurman got speed and power and that's pretty much it but If we talking all around boxing skills Garcia is much more polished boxer he's he punches harder/sharper and is 2-3 inches taller than Porter. People just like to overlook Garcia mainly because he fights to the level of his comp. but first few punches he lands on Thurman would have him thinking this ain't Porter. I'd rather see Garcia vs Brook anyway. Meanwhile let Thurman run from Spence. Even Khan would give Thurman problems..

Any word from Garcia yet?
