Can't see him getting a title at 154 unless it's a Sadam Ali type fighter. I'd like to see him in with Munguia though.

Probably getting tired of draining himself to make 147Comment

oh yeah? ive heard Brook is also looking for the biggest fights, why not try him as a tune up if given the opportunity? if you can get past then that should be a startComment

the current crop of 154 champions are big guys, hungry young big punchers.
I doubt if Danny can defeat any of them.Comment

Danny Garcia might be able to survive @ 154 if the new proposals take effect in 2019:
August 1. 2018:
The Association of Boxing Commissions (ABC) held its annual convention in Orlando this week, and one of the biggest items up for discussion was a new proposal that could have a major impact on extreme weight-cutting in the sport of boxing.
On Tuesday, the ABC passed that proposal, and the new regulations will go into effect on January 1st, 2019. These key details include:
•Second-day weigh-ins for championship fights, to be held on fight day.
•Championship participants are not to gain more than 10% of the contracted weight. The champion would be stripped of the title, whereas the challenger would be rendered ineligible to win the title.
•Reduction in ranking status for first offense. Outright removal from the rankings of the major sanctioning bodies for a full year if they are a repeat offender.
The full description of policy tweaks can be read below, courtesy of Erik Magraken of Combat Sports Law:
Any 8, 10, or 12 round championship Bout will be subject to a follow up weigh-in held at a time and place determined by the local commission. At this follow up weigh-in the boxers cannot exceed 10% of the Bout contract weight.
For example, if bout contract is 147lbs., 147×10% = 14.7lbs. Thus, this boxer cannot exceed 161.7lbs.
If the boxer misses weight at this second day weigh-in the bout shall continue as a title fight only for the boxer that has made weight. If the over-weight boxer wins this bout he/she cannot claim the title. If the champion is the over-weight boxer and he/she wins the bout, the title becomes vacant. It should be noted there is NO opportunity to lose weight at this Second day weigh-in. It is a onetime weigh-in.
There shall be a minimum FINE for missing weight on either day of at least 10% of the offender’s purse which shall go to the other boxer. Commissions may also choose to fine and/or issue a suspension to the offender.
The ABC shall recommend to the sanctioning organization(s) that any rated boxer who exceeds the contracted weight and/or the ten percent (10%) maximum allowable weight gain on the second-day weigh-in for any championship bout, be lowered in the ratings of any and all sanctioning organizations and not be allowed to participate in Championship bouts for twelve (12) months.
The ABC shall recommend to the sanctioning organization (s) that any rated boxer who exceeds the contracted weight and/or the ten percent (10%) maximum allowable weight gain on the second-day weigh-in for a second occasion for any championship fight, be excluded from the ratings of any and all sanctioning organizations for twelve (12) months.
These provisions shall be subject to and determined by any and all the sanctioning organizations.

Outside of Austin Trout; Are there many gatekeepers or cherrys at 154 that Danny can challenge? Perhaps Liam Smith and Sadam Ali may suffice.Comment

He would get battered in there if he fights the best in that weightComment
