    Danny Garcia is just over 5'8, just at 69" reach, can box a little bit off the backfoot/jab, is tougher than anyone wants to acknowledge, is one of the best catch/shoot and inside fighters in the division, and still walks into any fight with that left hook and a nice compliment of shots to set it up.

    Garcia likely doesn't win every fight (i think Errol Spence Jr and Kell Brook give him hell), but he beats a lot more guys than folks want to acknowledge.
    Garcia is an all-around fighter and that alone makes him very tough to beat. People act as if he was exposed in the Herrera and Peterson bouts as if fighters can't learn from experiences like that. Look at your favorite boxers and you'll find that most had tough fights like those before they hit full stride. Sometimes the result was much worse. Garcia remains the darkhorse to come out of this scrum on top. I can't wait for he and Thurman to square off.

      Thurman, Brook and Pac IMO.

      Regarding Crawford and Bradley, not so obvious, they probably can beat him as Bud and Brad are themselves true elite fighters but Danny is mean, can box and punch.


      Spence, Porter, I'm not sold yet on them, both seems to be quite "face first' wich is a style Danny would like, tough they are quite bigger than DG.

        Garcia has been sometimes great and sometimes disappointing.

        Not impressive to beat Guerrero or Paulie (Spence being praised for beating Algieri) but he beat them quite easely, he's obviously an elite fighter, even at 147 IMO.

        His hooks are mean, and people should not overlook his skills.

        He's quite a small guy tough (next to guys like Brook, Thurman, Spence) and it seems like when he has to dig deep vs a durable dirty fighter, he's in trouble.

          Always a logical answer from Foxx, its hard to disagree with you I think Bradley has the ability to make it easy but it depends what Bradley we get.
          Vargas is a good fighter but I don't think he's up to their level. IMO he got schooled against Bradley and landed that one bomb in the last round which made a lot of people forget how clearly Bradley was winning that fight.

          Vargas has teamed up with PED Heredia and looks in crazy shape nowadays though.

            Spence, garcia, thurman, porter, etc would/could all get schooled by Bradley. None of them have ever fought anyone at the level of Bradley. Vargas did get taken to school but people quickly forget it was Vargas 1st fight at 147 & he won about 3rds and came close to ko'ing the best active ww in the world. & Vargas isnt with Heredia anymore, it was a style change for his new found power. Imo Vargas 1-2 is/can be kryptonite for Garcia, people soon forget Garcia was busted up by Herrera a JWW. Vargas' 1-2 would do more than hurt.
