    I like Garcia he is a good young fighter with some real potential, maybe got a belt too fast in his career before he had real time to finish developing and is being thrown in with Khan

    Do you guys think he has much of a chance vs Khan?

    Is this really a good move by Garcia's team?

    Canelo another young WBC belt holder is making a step up and facing a dangerous guy like Williams but I think Canelo is ready enough

    I dont know if Garcia should be taking on a guy like Khan yet but I like the fact that he is young and taking on real fights

    Personally I don't think he has much of a chance, this is far too soon for Garcia.

    If I was his handler I wouldn't have taken this.

    But if you're holding a WBC belt, there's only so long you can go fighting easy competition to harness your skills. Not everyone can be afforded luxuries the way Chavez Jr and Canelo have.

    At leas against Khan he's got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

    Khan by UD or late stoppage - Garcia's only hope is to bang Khan out.

    thats what i meant by he got a belt too soon before he could really develop but whose gonna turn down a winnable fight vs a past it Morales

    but you are right this fight has no downside unless he gets hurt in there...maybe he has got some tricks up his sleeve or is convinced Khan can be beaten

    This . . . He's as "ready" as he's going to be. .

    But there's just so way of being ready for a guy like. . AMIR KHAAAAAAAN (and he's knocking 'em out!) AMIR KHAAAAAAAAN (lemme hear ya shout!) AMIR KING KHAAAAAAAAAN!

    Garcia will probably struggle with Khan the first 6-7 rounds after that if he has anything left he may surprise Khan. Since the fight is in July he does not have much time to put a plan together and get in shape. I am surprised GBP is making this fight as it could ruin Danny. They must know something we do not and thus are willing to send him to the slaughter.

    I think he's fine as he is. I give him a chance, and he's got Al-Haymon behind him, so you never know. :hey

    ï think khans style is a nightmare for counter punchers, someone like marquez as technically sound as he is will have serious issues with a guÿ who comes in flurries with fast combinations and then moves out.OTOH guys like matthyse and mike alvarado would likely leave khans mother crying ringside just like hïs latino böyfriend bredis did the night he stole his virginity in 2008

    Garcia is as ready for Khan, as Khan is ready for Mayweather.

    Khan by late stoppage, in the Morales fight Garcia looked like he didn't wanna fight anymore just before he got the knockdown, dunno how he will handle Khans pressure

    Super easy fight for Khan, Garcia is a protected fighter and is way over his head in this fight Garcia is catching Khan at the wrong time.
