    I'm sick of seeing these absurd catchweights, it's very obvious that DSG can't make weight anymore.

    He really should leave.

    Discuss.

    Test himself vs the WW's.

    Danny vs. Lamont isn't 140.

    Yes, this is true, it's at 143.

    But the world still considers Garcia the best 140 fighter and Lamont a top 3 fighter at the class.

    Just very tired of seeing catchweights and DSG not defending his belts.

    Would love to see him move up and beat the top ww's.

    I agree its about time he moves up but I doubt he will have dominate the 147 division.

    If he cant make the weight then yeah.. That 143 catchweight is a bit of a joke.

    He'll have pretty much beaten everyone there is to beat there, he may as well move on up to 147.

    Lots of juicy fights up there

    I would like to see him fight Khan at 147
    I think even at 140 in a rematch Khan boxes his ears off. I was a big fan of him after he beat Khan and looked like he was going to go on and do some big things but he's been a massive flop

    i don't see that happening, very bad style for DG, he got the dec (favorable) so i see him moving forward. hererra hasn't really ever beaten anyone so beating him a 2nd time (even if its really his first time beating him) it does nothing for him..

    much bigger fish to try fry. if DG doesn't land the ko shot or score some KD's i don't see him winning on points against peterson

    After this fight I think he should face Porter at 147.

    After Peterson he's set for Viktor Postol. I don't think he will switch divisions before that fight.

    There are great rematches he can go for such as Herrera and Matthysse which he won neither of them decisively. So he's not really out of options.

    I don't think he'll fight Postol. It's very possible he could be outboxed by Postol and not be compensated for the risk. I believe he'll simply move up after this fight seeking a name guy, unless he were to get a fight against Broner.

    Matthysse was decisive. There was no controversey in that win whatsover. It was a competitive fight but Danny won fairly.
