Comments Thread For: Danny Garcia vs. Brandon Rios Getting Close For December

[Derranged]

Hopefully Rios gets paid well and retires. He really shouldn't be fighting anymore.

Cherry picking Garcia at it again fighting guy Bradley dropped body shot and spanked and Manny won 12 rounds. Garcia lost to Herrera now ducked Porter for winner getting Thurman Spence winner

[Disturbed]

Rios looks shot to me. This probably won't end well for Rios.

I hope he can get enough money to retire soon. He has taken quite a bit of shots to his head in his career..

[CLUBBER!]

Bam Bam by 5th round knockout.

WAR RIOS

[baya]

Mexico vs Puerto Rico..............and not a single coherent sentence in Spanish will be said between the both of them in the lead up

[BWC]

I'm hearing Errol Spence VS Lamont Peterson may be happening at the end of the year as well

That's a solid fight.

[Chrismart]

I'd like to see Rios call it a day. He takes too many punches to be in the ring with decent opposition at this stage in his career.

Lol. There once was a time where there was excitement around danny garcia. 3-4 years ago haha. He is a joke, its obvious he came outta the nut sack of a crack head

[Steven Mccowan]

C class fighters lol. Crap fight. And some fools have the nerve to say should be granados vs dsg lmao. Like a fnf fighter would be diferent. Fight the b fighter porter or just go away. These fools fighting 1x a yr lol. Take heed in danny jacobs move and follow suit

[yankees7448]

How so when DSG just came off a loss to Thurman? DSG can tune back up with a solid no lay down fighter like Granados. Then he can try to make a Porter match up early next year. Brandon Rios shouldn't be fighting no more for health reasons.....

Garcia doesn't need a tune up. Its not like Keith Thurman thoroughly outclassed him. It was a good fight and a close one. I don't have a problem with him taking a step back because getting someone else at that level is a little tricky but there is no reason he should go as low as Rios. Rios looks shot. Rios needs to prove he isn't to earn a shot at someone like Garcia.

Here are some options Garcia could have chosen instead. To be sure, I am not saying these guys are all great opponents. I am not saying Garcia wouldn't blast out the vast majority of them. I am certainly not saying that people wouldn't crap on Garcia for picking one of these guys instead. What I am saying is the following: All these guys are at least a step below Thurman, are ranked higher in one or more sanctioning bodies than Rios, seem to be available barring injuries or other issues I don't know about and have done more recently to show they aren't shot. Some of them even have name value to people who are more than just casual fans. Saddam Ali, Mauricio Herrera (he definately deserves a rematch), Lamont Peterson (ditto), Jessie Vargas, Kostantin Pomoranev, Bradley Skeete, Luis Collazo. Rios is probably the biggest name available but even when he wasn't washed up he wasn't on Garcia's level. And now he looks washed up.

I honestly cannot believe someone who dogs GGG and his opposition as much as you do is ok with Garcia fighting Brandon Rios.
