Is Keith Thurman a harder fight than Lucas Matthysse for Danny Garcia?

[bojangles1987]

Easily. Big fan of Lucas but Thurman is much better and a much tougher style for Garcia.

[Larry the boss]

100 percent YES

thurman is twice the fighter matthyse was. would alexander, judah, postol beat him? Hell no

Hmmm...not to sure about that. All those guys mentioned are smaller than Thurman meaning they fought at a lighter wgt. The question is does Thurman easily beats the same Zab that Garcia beat?

[frantic fighter]

I think Danny is a more complete fighter now then when he fought Matthysse, for starters he can throw the right hand with power.

yeah he does, easily. im calling it as it is, everyones sitting on the fence as usual, saying its going to be close, danny has a chance etc. he has no chance and its going to be nowhere near as difficult for thurman as the porter fight was.

This is a unification bout and the judges know what's at stake. This ain't going to be a Herrera or Peterson bout. Thurman is very heavy handed, and the contact will be apparent even when Garcia guards up. What makes Thurman dangerous for Garcia is both hands are heavy on quick combos. I will bet Garcia is going to respect Thurman's power. I can see if they slug, for when Garcia hail marys the hook Thurman will absorb it well and fireback even quicker than many will expect.

Thurman hits hella harder than Matthysse any day. Different class. If Molina could drop Lucas with overhand hailmakers its an easy canvas flooring for Thurman. Imo Diego Chaves is hella slicker than Matthysse. We all saw what happened.

I also believe Garcia was fighting smaller guys at 140 and now for the first time he's fighting a guy that is stronger than him.

Still we have the Garcia factor, which means you never know 100% what's gonna happen, but I say it's 65% 35% for Thurman, and I want Danny to win.

Thurman has power but he couldn't hurt Porter while Broner could, that tells you he might not be that heavy handed.

A washed up faded 3 years later Judah gave Garcia hell. Do you even watch boxing? Cause you certainly say it as if Garcia hasn't fought Judah. Wouldn't surprise me if you didnt even know that.

And I wouldn't be so sure about the bold either.

Here is another question for you...How does Collazo fairs against the Zab that Danny beat? Also who's the cherry picker here, Soto Karass, Collazo, & Julio Diaz all had a combine record of 23 loses! wehn they fought Thurman...MURDERERS role...huh???

[M Bison]

Surely this is the toughest fight for both guys I rate Danny Garcia just above Shawn Porter I think stylistically Danny could give Keith a lot of problems because I do highly rate Danny's chin and his heart his ability to find a way to win with slick boxers isn't that good but good thing for Danny boy is Keith Thurman isn't that slick.

This one is a toss up too bad it's not happening this year, too bad we have to wait near half a year to get it, it could have easily happened this December If Danny wasn't so content fighting nothing fights.

given his size, yes. matthysse and danny are just about the same size. thurman is a strong welterweight.

but matthysse was on a very good run at 140 and was one of the best 25 fighters in the world at the time. p4p matthysse had the better wins. he'd knocked out and dominated peterson, which is a better win, p4p, than struggling with shawn porter. peterson looked very good beating amir khan. then matthysse destroyed him. we knew he could **** with the right hand, but that left hook came out of nowhere and ended the night of a typically durable, world class fighter.
