Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Garcia Has Potential To Become Face Of Boxing

I think Garcia will develop into a hell of a fighter. He improves each time out, especially his movement, timing, and confidence. He has boat loads of charisma and in his last couple fights he has shown some real fire in his belly. Don't let his looks fool you. On top of that, his energy level is really up there.

Kov definitely didn’t take a dive but at the same time he hardly through any power shots

Touching gloves to much too ... shiddy exhibition fight until the knock out came

agreed. I felt like he was fighting to not get tired, which happened anyway. The touching of the gloves was annoying. Especially when you consider that he used to be thought of as one of the meanest boxers in the sport who wanted to hurt his opponents. For the most part the fight looked like a glorified sparring session.

Stevenson, then haney, then gacia.
Ryan Garcia was getting man handled by rolly.

That was when Garcia was 19 and Romero was 3 years older at 22, a greater age difference and Romero is also a huge prospect in his own right at this time which means both got some top notch sparring in with each other, and at the end of the day, it is sparring, nothing more, and will benefit both of them.

Oscars just being Nice. The kid is no super star but he’ll make money till then.

The kid reminds me of Ricky Martin. Not De La Hoya. We all know Ricky came out of the closet a few years back, right?

I Duno

I thought Canelo is?

Matchmaking 101, fight stylistically disadvantaged & names on the way out. Occasionally fight a bigger guy with a serious handicap and proclaim to be #1.

Wash, rinse repeat.


Stay away from Davis, Haney or any top level prime talented fighters until they are ripe.

[factsarenice]

Serious question here... Has Devin Haney beat anyone that Duno couldn't beat ?

Haney "fans" claiming Loma is ducking the kid and he's done just as much as Ryan Garcia in his career for the most part.

Devin Haney spared Garcia more than once and beat him up. Granted, it's sparing, but Ryan isn't in any hurry to fight either Haney or Stevenson for good reason.

I'm still having a hard time seeing and watching Oscar

Did anyone notice how many times Oscar rubbed his shoulders and was like umm good! I'm just saying we all know Oscar has some ???'s to answer.
