Why is Danny Garcia so Hyped?

[DaNeutral.]

A very good Light Welter, a decent Welter. But he's one of the PBC Welters so he's guna get blown out of all proportion to raise the level of the other PBC fighters that they put in there to beat him.

Danny had a greater run at 140 than Crawford and didn't get half the hype Bud did..

[Earl-Hickey]

When he beat Amir Khan, Khan was probably the most hated fighter at that time and Garcia beat him in hilarious fashion and loads of people loved him for it.

It's a bit similar to Marcos Maidana who everyone loved it when he whooped Broner, and people are still greatful for it now.

Basically if you beat someone who loads of people hate you will win over a lot of fans. I don't think Garcia or Maidana are any more than just good world level guys but their popularity overstretched that mark a little bit because of those wins.

Lol at saying 2019 Khan was the same as 2012 Khan.

His resume eclipse’ Crawfords that’s for sure.

No it doesn't. Crawford was undisputed champion at 140, is unbeaten, and has no questionable wins. You don't get credit for losing. That's not how resumes work.

I'm a DSG fan, but after the Spence, there's not too many folks over-hyping him. Sad to say, but Danny is very much a gate-keeper at WW. He's not elite anymore, but you've pretty much got to be elite to beat him.

He deserved to have some hype off of 140 and coming into 147, it was a good addition to WW....but overall, I agree he just gets to sail along getting title shot after losses and gets the red carpet treatment where card revolve around him regardless of what he did in his last fight.

I brought this up in another thread - I would love to see Danny G vs Jose Benavidez. I think that fight would be something that provides some clarity on 2-3rd level at WW

Also, when he beat Khan he came in on short notice after Peterson failed a drug test for the rematch...he was a pretty good prospect who just slid in there under the radar and I don't think Khan respected that he was up and coming and ready for that fight.....Khan is still a chinny guy who fights pretty reckless but MAYBE the change of opponent threw things off as well

[Marchegiano]

No look hook on Khan's neck....it was cool.

[PeepeePoopooMan]

He's a solid gatekeeper. Not elite or anything but a good fighter.

Hyped by who? All the forum keyboard bums just hate on him. He is solid world level and has a career to be very proud of.

Hyped like EJ and Sometimes have this world killer resume cuz they beat DSG lol
