Am I missing something about Danny Garcia?

I'm a fan of his and I don't see anyone making him out to be highly skilled or great. But fact is, he's the man at 140. Winning's winning.

 

But sometimes a "win" is not really a win!

 

I do agree with this. He has earned his standing atop the division.

To answer the OP, I can't speak for others, but I certainly don't hate Danny Garcia. He seems like a very cool dude.

However, I don't like the recent trend. Herrera was supposed to be the soft touch, not exactly a top contender. Ok , he had unexpected trouble and received a favorable decision, it sucks, but all in all, no big deal. But to double down now on softening the opposition, and fighting a guy nowhere near worthy of a title shot speaks poorly for the future.

 

I think he's trying to stay undefeated before moving up to 147. People say he should be fighting Peterson, but he got KO'd in 3 rounds against Matthysse. Peterson needs to earn his shot. Although Salka is not a worthy opponent either.

 

Peterson is highly ranked and a title holder. That is a far, far cry from Salka. I'd sign for that fight in a heartbeat. As a matter of fact there are quite a few fighters in between who I'd rather see as well.

If the purpose is to remain undefeated, fine. But his people cannot then turn around and wonder why people are giving them **** for it.

 

We all know trying to avenge his loss to Herrera would have been the right thing for Garcia to do.

 

We'll see I guess. Herrera, despite having a pretty good resume, was not lauded as a great opponent. He was a step down for Garcia after the enormous win over Matthysse.

Upsets happen, that's for sure, so anything is possible. Maybe we'll get lucky and one or 2 of the fights on the card will be entertaining.

 

Don't encourage him:bart

 

I' e seen him fight a bunch of times. He's a FNF staple. I like him. I'm just saying he was not exactly the type of opponent expected for Garcia after Matthysse. Especially after the demand for a rematch of that fight.

I don't have a problem with Herrera as an opponent, at all. But he was a bit of a step down considering what was expected. Hell, I'd sign for a rematch right now. He earnt it. But he isn't the kind of guy you fight at THIS stage of a career if you're looking to be a star.

Salka is nowhere near.

 

As long as there is someone working hard, there will be people hating.

Danny seems like a good dude. Humble, and a hard worker. So the whole "he's ****y" thing doesn't fit.

He's fun to watch, and rises to the level of competition/event for the most part.

There's really nothing to dislike about him. People just enjoy criticizing. It's been like that, and it'll stay like that.

I wouldn't look too much into it. He's doing a good job in my eyes.
