Is Canelo a better Danny Garcia?

[Bjl12]

I'm a huge Canelo fan, but he has many similarities with underperforming Danny G.

Both guys have several asterisks in their careers. Both guys dont jab well and rely on counter punching, timing, and body work. Hell their physical builds are even somewhat similar.

Danny G could've lost to Herrera, Judah, and even LP. Canelo had razor close fights with Lara, Trout, and GGG with conspiracist Trump supporters even suggesting Cotto beat Canelo (lol).

Thoughts?

Danny knocks him out

Yes they are very similar but Canelo kinda left DSG behind as soon as it was revealed that he isn’t your basic come forward flat footed fighter!

I agree there.

Nonetheless Danny has gotten the job done (against lesser competition) even with his limited ability.

Canelo definitely offers more than Danny, but he dares to be greater a la GGG, Cotto, Lara/Trout, etc...Angulo, Kirkland, attempt at Floyd, etc.

How has Danny not dared to be great? Prime Khan,Mathysse,Peterson,Thurman,Porter unified titles two weight world champion etc.

I view Danny Garcia as a more naturally gifted fighter than Canelo. On the other hand, Canelo may have done more with his gifts by 1) being a "weight bully" (in other words, using careful matchmaking and extreme dieting and de-and-rehydrating to consistently enter the ring larger than his opponents--often significantly so), 2) always training properly for each and every fight and knowing how to fight each opponent 3) Using PEDs.

Generally speaking, Garcia seems to me a much more fluid and improvisational fighter; Canelo strikes me as robotic by comparison, but more disciplined.

I guess in the sense that they're both boxer-punchers, but they're not so similar that you can say one is an alternate version of the other.

I don't see Canelo coming down to 147 or even agreeing to a catch weight.

After all Canelo is the big PPV draw at 154 and the A-side.

Swift lost to Keith "One time" Thurman. He faces "Showtime" Shawn Porter in about 5 weeks.

I don't see him beating Canelo at 154. In fact I don't see him going the distance in a loss!

But If Daring to be great is what your into nothing comes close to the come from behind underdog victories of “The great GGG!” With wins over future hall of shamers like Daniel Geale, Willie Monroe, Domic Wade; Gabe Rosado; and Mexican Super Star El Veneno Rubio! Lol I gotta stop right there!!!!
