Comments Thread For: Danny Garcia vs. Brandon Rios is Now WBC Final Eliminator

[Shadoww702]

"The WBC had actually wanted Porter and Garcia to fight in a final eliminator last year, but there was very little interest from Garcia's camp."

Garcia's camp said Porter isn't Zab/Morales/Salsa so we'll take "time off" instead.

But what really sucks is we won't get Thurman vs Spence/Crawford, instead we'll get Thurman vs Tune up, Thurman vs porter, then Thurman vs Garcia, all crap we've seen and don't need to see again

Stuff like that make it hard to root for Garcia

We won't get to that guy.

According to your previous post, we'll get that guy in March 2019.

You're confused. We said Thurman vs. Spence is penciled in for March 2019 if both keep winning.

Crawford is the guy they won't get to because the fight is never going to make business sense unless it's a huge PPV where everyone is forced to work together because there's just so much money at stake and that is very unlikely to happen.

Haymon spent all this time money and energy to lock up most of the welterweights. Crawford will be out of opponents very quickly. Haymon is not going to give Arum a get out of jail free card here. Haymon can make interesting welterweight title fights for years to come. Arum is out of Crawford opponents at welterweight within a year.

Thurman needs to get active or else Garcia will be waiting until 2020 for that shot. Porter should honestly think about going for another strap then unifying against Thurman. The division needs Horn and Spence to keep it breathing. Can't see Horn getting by Crawford though.

Brandon Rios by TKO would be boxing upset of 2018

the WBO has the best champs

Usyk, Kovalev, Saunders, Lomachenko, Inoue..... are the best

and Crawford will be WBO champ very soon

I'm not confused buddy. When we have the last man standing over at PBC, the pressure will be on to match that man with Crawford. You can talk the business BS all you want. I don't give a **** about it. If we get Thurman-Spence in early 2019, we need that man to fight Crawford (assuming he gets past Horn and Pacquiao) after that. The rest of your post is hot air.

What is the plan of greed? Garcia is already #2. He was going to be the mandatory anyway after Porter gets his shot. What's wrong with Garcia being willing to put his position on the line against Rios? Porter did the same thing against Granados.

I have a huge issue with giving undeserving fighters (both of their opponents) opportunities over the other 8 contenders in the division more respectfully in line for the shot. Why not make him fight Porter instead? Kill two birds with one stone.

This is ridiculous.
