Comments Thread For: Errol Spence Would Bypass Hometown Fight For Danny Garcia

[SugarRaRobinson]

Danny gets stopped for the first time in his career if this fight happens. He hasn't got the legs or style to defend himself against Spence.

Danny's always solid. Good chin and a razor sharp counter puncher who has deceptive power. He visibly hurt Thurman in their fight.

Spence had trouble with Kell Brook who's a counter puncher, Danny's probably a better counter puncher than Brook.

It makes an interesting fight especially considering Danny has extra motivation to get back on top

Yes please!

Like Spence, he says that he wants to fight top guys in the division. Time will tell if he actually means it.

Garcia would be a good fight but do not see it happening next because they probably want a tune up fight after losing to Thurman.

Make it happen.

I'd rather see Garcia/Peterson II and have Spence, Jr. match up against Eggington (in U.K.) - think it would make for a good fight.

Al shouldn't prioritize what you want anymore Angel. This is about the fans. If PBC is going to survive, Al has to make fights the fans want to see, not fights that are the least dangerous for your son. Peterson barely threw a punch the first half of their first fight and the overall fight was underwhelming. A few exciting moments late but Peterson didn't have the power to drop Danny even when Danny was gassed. Peterson barely beat Felix Diaz who Crawford beat easily, that's because Peterson is not an A-level boxer, at least not since he got popped for using synthetic testosterone. Peterson should prove he can even dominate Louis Collazo or someone on that level before stepping up again.

Plus, two low-volume guys like Danny and Peterson makes for a ****ty fight. You know a much better fight if Peterson wants to step up again? Shawn Porter vs Peterson is a better fight. Instead of Peterson not doing **** for six rounds, Porter will force Peterson to fight from round 1, and then we'll see if Peterson has the speed or power to make Porter stop attacking him, or if he's just not on that level without synthetic testosterone.

But if he does beat someone like that, I will give him his props big time. It's just we've seen never seen it since Khan in his hometown, and as a boxing fan I am not interested in matchups between tops guys and someone who has never beaten a top guy, because then it's predictable which makes it boring.

I don't remember him hurting Thurman at all. What round/minute?

Kell is a much better boxer than Danny and way more comfortable getting off first. There's no way Danny can box or trade with Spence, I don't see him having any success in this fight. Spence is way bigger, better on the outside, better on the inside.

Danny's a proven top level fighter, but this is a horrible style match up for him. What's he going to do when Spence starts applying pressure, getting inside and ripping to the body? He hasn't got the legs to stay away, he's going to be stationary and get stopped.

he just went to england and beat a way better welter than cherry garcia! Thats the definition of "meaning it" smh.... Guys like manny and porter are running scared from spence!

I think Ray Robinson wouldn't mind traveling to Dallas, or maybe Konstantin Ponomarev? Neither one has a big fan base, so they might as well take the fight in Dallas! I don't think Danny Garcia should take the fight. I think Danny should be thinking about fighting Amir Khan in the UK! That's a more winnable fight, and it should be good financially too!

First, I would like to give Kudos to Jeff Horn for wanting to unify the titles against both Errol Spence, Jr and Keith Thurman. I have to give him all the credit in the world for that one.

As far as this match up is concerned; I think it's a bad style match up for Danny Garcia, who cannot fight off the back foot or on the inside to save his life. He is simply a mid range hooker who is very ineffective at fighting at short range.

while on the other hand, Errol Spence is an excellent inside fighter and a vicious body puncher, who is also an excellent mid range hooker. With that being said, I favor Spence in this potential bout by either a late ninth or tenth round stoppage.
