Is Canelo a better Danny Garcia?

[boliodogs]

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?

In my opinion Canelo is much better. I don't think it's even close. If they were the exact same weight I think Canelo would badly outclass him and maybe knock him out. Canelo isn't a huge draw because of his red hair. He is a great fighter and people pay to watch him fight. I thought Canelo lost a close fight to GGG but he is still much better than Garcia and has defeated better fighters. Canelo is on just about all top 10 best PFP lists while you almost never see Danny Garcia on anyone's PFP top 10 best list.That's because Canelo is a much better, more skilled and harder punching fighter.

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

How would you compare Canelo's and Garcia's title wins.

Danny won a vacant WBC title against an aging Morales and unified it against Khan at 140. He won a vacant title at WW against a veteran in Guerrero.

Canelo won a vacant WBC title at a catch weight (150) that he didn't make against Mattew Hatton. Unified against Trout.

Won a MW title at a catch weight against an old Cotto. Dropped the belt to go back down and win a title against Liam Smith.

So Danny won titles against Morales, Khan and Guerrero

Canelo won titles against Hatton, Trout, Cotto and Smith.

Canelo's resume looks impressive because of the names, but he never really dominated any fighter that was his size or at their best. His biggest wins are Trout, Lara and Cotto.

IF Canelo fought like Danny he would have been knocked out by GEE.
D. Garcia has nothing on Canelo's head & waist movement.

I fux with D. Garcia don't get me wrong I'm no hater, Just feel that Alvarez is a level or 2 above him.

Danny has very good gead movement go watch his fight against Thurman. The thing Canelo has over Danny is the ability throw straight compact punches. For some reason Danny's right hand completely disappears against quality opponents.

Garcia Judah was not even remotely close

I honestly only gave Judah 3 rounds.

I'd say that they're are about even. Even though Danny had much tougher title defenses and fought at an appropriate weight.

In what world could Garcia have lost to Judah? I've never heard that one before.
