The 'Danny Garcia has a great resume' Myth.

[mlac]

I keep hearing this, i think most of the people that say this are boxrec boxing fan's. They see a name and think ' that's a good win', without taking into account how past prime or washed up or old a fighter is

a quick breakdown:

Eric Morrales X2 - Obviously way past his prime and at the end of his career and fighting only for one last payday(s)

Zab Judah - Same story as above, nearly 10 year's past his prime and at the end of his career.

Amir Khan - lost nearly every round until he found Khan's china, good win.

Lucas Matthysese - was the underdog coming in, won a close fight but still a good win and the best win of his career- both fighter's were never the same again, Danny pissed blood for weeks after this fight and his eardrum was perforated. While Mattysese's eye seems to be a career ender for him.

Herrera - Herrera is tricky boxer with decent skills and schooled danny, clearly won the fight and Danny get's the gift decision. Herrera later loses every single round to Frankie Gomez
First loss of Garcia's career.

Rod Salka - One of the most disgusting mismatches of recent year's in boxing.

Lamont Peterson - Very close fight, Danny tell's Lamont at the end of the fight that ' you won '.
Danny get's the decision.

Paulie - Again same story as judah, morrales etc, look's like a decent name on paper, when in reality paulie is at the end of his career.

Guerrero - Garcia fight's a guy who most boxing fan's notice has declined massively and look's washed up.
Guerrero get's dropped and beaten by Journeyman with 4 KO's Aaron Martinez and get's a debatable SD prior to fighting Garcia.
His next fight he get's dropped again and loses to a cab driver.

In conclusion Danny Garcia has 2 good win's.

He does have 2 fine wins. I'll had though however that the Khan fight only lasted a little into the 4th. So losing every round is hilarious. DG won the 3rd and the rest is, well history.

And DG was also the 1st person to clearly beat Lucas. That shouldn't be undernoted. Anyway after that DG started acting like he'd never take another hard fight. Shame really.

[Tom Cruise]

He had a good resume for the stage his career was at, but he let it go to **** (a long with his hype and marketability) by choosing the lowest risk, lowest reward, path he could find since then.

Huge shame

You're nitpicking a bit, yea it ended quickly, but he was still being outboxed and outclassed - it doesnt really matter though you are correct as a KO is a KO.

As for 'clearly' beating lucas, that's a slight exaggeration, he won the fight, but he didnt win by more than 2-3 round's.

Let's not forget he lowblowed lucas well over a dozen times, it really was ridiculous, bordering on Salido-lomachenko style.

If there was a fair reff, you might be seeing a draw with point deductions, but that's all hypothetical now so...I did say it's the best win of his career, so credit where it's due...

As much as I can't stand Team Garcia (more so his f@ggot ass father, Danny's actually not that bad), if you wanna blame anybody, blame the sport of boxing.

This is the sport of boxing, folks. It's not about fighting the best. It's about creating a brand for yourself (if you're one of the select few fortunate enough to do so), and then coasting off that and cherry picking guys on a lower level than you or old washed up name dudes.

That's the formula.

As they say...it's a business. Why fight the best, most dangerous guys out there -- when you can make good money fighting low risk opposition?

As fans we all think it f**king sucks but hey, for better or worse (worse) this is today's boxing climate that we currently live in. They've seen some of the biggest names in the sport do this successfully, so they're doing it too.

[Butt stuff]

To be fair to Danny, anyone who fights a guy like Mattysse or Maidana is more than likely going to be pissing blood, win or lose.

[bojangles1987]

The Khan and Matthysse wins were very good wins, but he seems determined to coast on them forever. He could have been a real star coming off that Matthysse win, and somehow squandered all that momentum. It's a real shame. Boxing could have used a young, bright new star.

Seriously, how do you go from Morales, Khan, Morales, Judah, and Matthysse (and winning convincingly each time) to robbing Mauricio Herrera and picking on shot fighters or domestic level fighters?

People definitely claim he was an underdog a lot more than he actually was. His fans often pretend he was an underdog against everyone before Matthysse when he was only an underdog against Lucas and Khan. He was supposed to beat Holt, Morales, Judah, and most the fighters he has stepped in the ring with.

Is it actually working for Garcia, though? Over the past 3 years he has become one of boxing's biggest jokes, one of its most disliked names, and is barely relevant in a busy welterweight division. So the formula isn't working for him, just like it isn't working for fighters doing the same thing as him.

His resume is not great but you can't try to discredit the Matthysse and Khan wins. His resume was "ok." For today's standards anyway.

Also, Herrera was not his first "loss." He received a couple of gifts before that.

Is that true though? Danny and his ridiculous old man have been quoted as saying they don't care about legacy ' its about the money in the bank'

So It clearly is working because they are being paid million(s) to fight nearly every time..

Now that the PBC dough has dried up they will need to fight a spence or a thurman sooner or later though...
