    I am not a Danny Garcia fan & after his latest suspect win over Lamont Peterson, I wonder if Puerto Rican fans are starting to feel some what embarrassed by him. When you think of greats like Wlfredo Gomez, Estaban DeJesus, Tito Trinidad, Edwin Rosario, Miguel Cotto & many others, I feel he is a real embarrassement!

    There's nothing embarrassing about not being a HOF caliber fighter or an all-time great.

    He's just what he is, a good but not great fighter.

    It's not like he did something terrible in the ring like Luis Resto.

    the thing is some morons think danny is a top p4p fighter or that he would beat pac so he is clearly overrated herrera and peterson both schooled him and showed his true level.:deal

    Not Resto level I'll readily admit, but fighting an unranked lightweight as a tune up because the previous tune up outboxed your ass is pretty bad. And then there's the "gift" (close fight so the term doesn't really apply) he got yesterday.

    Danny Garcia is not in the top tier of PR fighters. He's in the second tier . No shame

    I saw Felix Trinidad in the queue to change his nationality, wearing a big pair of glasses and a fake moustache.

    If you look at fights like the 2 fights against the very old way past his prime Morales, his gift descisions against, Herrera & now Peterson & his recent kayo win against a D level fight. He doesn't seem like the kind of fighter that the Puerto Rican people would want to hang their hat on. Especially when he looked like **** when he fought in Puerto Rico!

    It's not Garcia's fault the US boxing system is extremely corrupt. Just like the first Pac fight wasn't Bradley's fault.
