How was Robert Garcia as a boxer?

[boliodogs]

He was good enough to become a world champion but not good enough to stay a world champion very long. He won all his fights until the last year or so of his career. He retied at age 26 after 3 losses.

He beat some good, tricky fighters on the way up like Wheeler and Pickney. He wasn't elite, but at his best you had to probably be elite to beat him. He was the guy between top level and good.

[Humean]

Fairly run of the mill world champion but not a weak one.

On a world champion scale from Liam Smith (weak) to Danny Garcia (good) to Floyd Mayweather (great) he's between Smith and Garcia but closer to Garcia than Smith.

Couple years before my time, but Tackie KOing him has made many highlight reels over the years. Brutal and funny KO. Garcia's head was in the clouds trying to get up from that. Man.

No intent to single you out, but I find it irritating when people call knockouts "funny". Especially from people who've never been in the ring before. Not sure if you've fought before.

I remember a kid in the gym laughed out loud when watching sparring once. He was brand new and I immediately looked over at him like "Oh ****" in my mind. Looked over at Coach and he was looking right at him.

Needless to say, he put him in the ring right then and there. He never came back.

He held a title until a unknown Corrales kod him. He was actually outboxing takie on a way to a win till he got caught. Cool fighter but just like Mickey he never had any head movement

Your story ******. Boo hoo hoo.

Your story ******. Boo hoo hoo.

Yawn. Sounds like you need a reality check.

Watch his fight with Corrales, it's an excellent, underrated fight. He was winning the fight until his chin didn't hold up against one of the hardest hitters around.

That was after he fought Corrales and Casamayor. He was very good fighter...

[hectari]

Robert Garcia was a weaker world champion, When he stepped up he lost each time, to Corrales, Tackie and Casamayor.

Its crazy how he retired so young, if he continued fighting he probably would have been used to pad the records of Mayweather, Pacquiao, Morales, Barrera or Marquez
