    ¿How is the motivated Danny who was a force at 140 doing against all these modern day guys?

    Garcia was a very dangerous fight for ANY of those guys. He was a certified puncher, great counter puncher and Iron chin. I was a believer in his power after what i saw him to Brandon Rios with a head shot, albeit Rios being on the slide he always had a good chin. Not to mention what Keith Thurman said about his power

    This post puts Gervontas power at 140 in perspective…

    He ain’t punching like Danny or Matthyse….

    Garica had fast, skilled hands, and slow feet.

    The slow feet doesn't bode well against Haney, who I think would outbox him in a boring fight.

    Garica vs Lopez are pretty similar in both style & quality, I'd make Danny a narrow favourite, in a close fight likely to go the distance.

    Davis has more raw power, whilst Garcia was bigger with a better output. Davis probably doesn't hit as hard as Matthyse did at 140lbs, but may be a little quicker and more skilled at setting up the big shot. Again, I'd make Garcia a narrow favourite, with Davis having a live punchers chance.

    I've not seen much of Matias, so based on nothing other than his loss to Ananyan, I'd guess Garcia beats him.

    All assume a prime LWW Garcia versus the current versions of the other fighters.
