Danny Garcia is SEVERELY Overrated

He’s obviously not HOF at this moment but to say he has no good wins and was just a journeyman/titlist is extremely disingenuous.

His wins over Khan, Matthyse and Judah were excellent wins when each fighter was at the top of the rankings at 140. If he beats Lara then he’ll be a 3 division champion in which case he has an argument making the HoF.

 

Even a 41 year old Lara is ranked at 160 and is the WBA full champion since GGG decided to give up his belt and is by far the biggest opponent Garcia has ever faced. I think you need to get a grip, as if Garcia is the only fighter who won a vacant belt, I'm honestly not even sure what you're arguing about, this isn't 2016, who in the hell is overrating Danny Garcia?

 

I'll always remember him for his highlight reel knockdown against Amir Khan and when he punched Matthysse when his torso was outside the ropes.

 

To call him C+ is a joke and this thread is a joke

 

Very good counterpuncher and a problem for anyone at 140, but he didn’t have the height and reach to move up in weight effectively.

 

Garcia won cleanly against Matthysse.

 

But Lara is 41.

 

"You have to go back to friggin 2013"

I assumed this was a bumped thread from then when I clicked out of curiosity. I can't remember the last time I have had a thought about Danny Garcia. I didn't think he was great but I rated him and thought he was a tough young lion in his day, and had to be at least p4p top 20 of the active fighters, maybe cracked ten validly for a little bit.

 

Odd fighter to make a thread about. He provided me with one of the FUNNEST EXPERIENCES on a boxing forum when all of the Matthysse fans were saying Lucas was gonna “body bag” Danny. They for some reason were acting so “hard” and “gangster”. Was awesome

Oh boi, the amount of crow going around the next day……

 

Matthysse was once even more overated than Danny

I quite like Garcia (except his trailerpark schoolboy haircut). He's been in some very entertaining fights and was very close to being an A- level fighter at 140 but his bubble didnt last long, he didnt stay sharp, he didnt fight enough and his peers overtook him

He certainly hasnt done enough in my eyes to be HOF, but then 70% of HOF inductees over the last 20 years have no right being there if I was judging so make of that what you will
