No, Garcia is not a fraud. SOB is a fraud and a cheat......................SOB does not have to obey the rules, but all his opponents do...............
May not be an elite fighter or the best out there but to call someone at that level a Fraud... Wow.. Dont know about you but the few rounds Ive done in a boxing ring kicked my butt and showed me how much determination and hard work it taked to get to where pros get.. Imagine fighting at that level.. You cant be a fraud to get to where hes gotten IMO...
Yes you can be still a fraud. How many times did the get a gift? Why did people start calling him Cherry Garcia?
Totally besides the point... Plus you are calling some of the best fighters a ''Fraud'' then including the so called TBE, Canelo,GGG, Thurman, Pac Man, Cotto.. They all have a cherry pick in their record (look it up) .. I still dont think any of them are frauds. Boxing is a tough sport..
I hate people calling legitimate fighters frauds. Yeah he cherry picked after his best wins for a while but fraud? He gained his status the hard way fighting fighters most thought would beat him. Khan and Matthysse were huge wins. Thurman outboxed him very well but that's because Thurman is very good, not because Garcia is some sort of fraud. Childish stuff.
Good fighter just not Elite , hardly a fraud , just not great. But then very few are. Beats the shite out of Broner.
comments like "Danny Garcia is a fraud" are what's killing boxing. This guy has lost one fight officially, probably 2 total unofficially, and has beat some very good fighters along the way, yet he's a fraud?... Then you wonder why some fighters are out there trying so hard to protect their "0" instead of taking on the hardest fights day in and day out. One loss and you're done in the eyes of so many. Just obnoxious. Garcia is a very good fighter who stepped up in weight and lost to another top talent in a somewhat competitive bout, gosh, what a fraud.
What else is new? This was obvious upon viewing the Matthysse, Herrera, Peterson fights. Hell, even Morales I and Guerrero made this guy look mediocre. When has he ever impressed against a world level fighter apart from Khan? Gift Garcia is a joke. Garcia is a heavily manufactured product - Got by on gift decisions, refs who let him bend the rules and at times selective matchmaking. Safe to say we've seen the end of his cherrypicking defenses and general shenanigans, he'll never find an opportunity to pick a belt up again now that the division has heated up again.
I was going to rant about how your wrong and nitpick, but the more I typed, the more I realized you're right. Except for ONE THING. Herrera already exposed him first. And I like Danny too, he needs a better trainer.
He definitely impressed against Matthysse. That wasn't any kind of gift decision. Flash and substance are two different things. Garcia lacked the former but proved without a doubt he had the latter. There's nothing manufactured about getting big underdog wins at the top level of the division.
Low blows, knockdown while Matthysse was pushed out of position behind the ropes, spit his mouth piece out while hurt... Still barely managed to beat a nearly blind Matthysse.
Oh please, with that level of petty no win is legit. Drained, shot, green, bad camp, injured, fouled, ref, fought the wrong fight, ropes were loose, ring was too big/small, on and on. Take your pick
