If Garcia beats Thurman will he take his rightful place among top 10 p4p in the sport

[Larry the boss]

He definitely should

[BrometheusBob.]

Nope. Not even close. He needs to KO1 Thurman, and then beat Crawford, Pacquiao, Brook, Bradley, and then go up and beat Canelo, GGG, and Sutherland.

And then maybe. Like maybe #9.

And even then I'd rate GGG higher

Unbelievable comeback win against Kell Brook trumps losing to Garcia.

B Suth could drink a 30 case of Natty Ice and woop Garcia in his drunken stooper

Good fight... 50/50.
"Swift" has grown into a strong Welterweight.

reviewed all his ww fights recently...he has filled out.....his stamina is better, and his combinations are also getting cripser and shorter....not so many winging lopping shots like his earlier days

[-PBP-]

Absolutely. You cannot deny him his spot if he beats Thurman. He would have one of the best resumes in boxing.

He should be ranked above all of the guys that are ranked off of the "eye test".

[therealpugilist]

This is true I also think Thurman is soft in the body and Danny does look strong at 147.

he looks to be a full fledge welter.


only guy noticeably bigger is spence and that mini tyson Porter.

[mlac]

Thurman already lost to porter IMO and Garcia already lost to herrera, i won't have either in my top 10 p4p.

Does Danny have a S&C coach?

^^^^^eye test is too heavily looked into by casuals on this site

level of opposition is the only true way to gauge the quailty of a fighter. good fighters look good vs club fighter but often look average vs guys of equal or great talent/intangibles

GGG for example....he is not top ten p4p in my view because look at guys like Garcia, Ward, Kovalev, Chocolatito, Bud, Yamanaka, Rigo, Loma, Canelo, Estrada, etc...these guys have and are fighting top guys....GGG has 35 fights and not one win over the top middleweight or # 2 guy, never moved up, and didnt win his belts in the ring

Loma Has 8 fights and has already equaled his champions defeated total.....its hard to put him top 5 p4p or even ten when its so many other fighters out there fighting and seeking out the best....people hate stevenson...but even he has comparable talent and a better resume than GGG

......thurman beat him 7-5 in a close fight

herrera outjabbed garcia, but garcia landed the harder more telling shots...another hard to score fight

thats what happens when you fight top opposition...close fights.....your boy GGG on the other hand likes his beef tender(most his ko victims were already ko'ed before).....unknown, unranked or undersized

whats you top 5 p4p
