    I keep seeing everywhere that everyone expects Garcia to KO Judah; I just want to say I actually see Judah winning because I cant think of a time he lost to a person who didn't apply ball busting pressure or was just faster/better than him (besides zhyu (he just ko'd him) and Baldomir (Judah didnt even show up to that fight). But my point is everyone is saying that Garcia has too much power for Judah's glass chin. First of all Judah has only been ko'd twice (3 if you count the Khan debacle) and only his first KO loss left him incoherent, wilted in the other two, and two of the three fighters who kod Judah would smash Garcia easily. When did this notion of supreme power fall upon Garcia? He ko'd a fat old Morales (was awesome though) and a widely considered glass-chinned, Bambi-legged Amir Khan. So why is it that all of a sudden he's Mike Tyson? before these two knockouts he only had like a 50% ko ratio, and the only punch thats worth noting is his L. Hook, which I dont think he will land cleanly on Zab anyway. So, is Garcia's power overrated?
    I say yes. Vastly.

    Danny Garcia is overrated. He beat a 74 year old Morales twice. And he nearly lost the first fight if not for a late KD. And he caught Khan with a head-down, prayer shot.

    Garcia's good, yes. But he's not the top at 140.

    Garcia is not a ko specialist, but he hits accurately and hard enough to knock almost any 140lb'er out. No one has walked through his punches as of yet.

    That's the weird part because if you believe in magic then no he's not over rated. I can't explain how he's sliding people. It seems like its not even real when it happens.

    Yea but who has he fought though to consider his power so awesome? Everyone here on esb says Khan's chin is like fine China, so how does hurting him show your power? And how does getting beat for a majority of rounds by an old Morales do so either?

    danny gets his props. an he is at the top at 140 its either him or lucas. and the morales fight really wasnt close. he didnt have to knock him down to win. wit or with out the knockdown he wins imo i dnt remember wut the actuall scores were so technically u mite be rite. but even if thats tru and morales gets the win everyone would kno morales did put up a decent fight but everyone would be callin robery.

    and that wasnt a prayer shot . he practices that . an its installed in him to throw in his exchanges. he knows to throw that at the end of exchanges and times it right . i kno its not luck because he knocked plenty of guys similiar fashion he did khan . wit the same punch . its one of his go to moves

    I agree with mostly everything you just said, but he didnt look that good for the first half of the first morales fight at all. You get the feeling watching that first half that if he was just 3 or 4 years younger he'd win. But do you think his power is overrated though? People portray him like he's got GGG power.

    I think he's got alright power but I think many people go over the top when talking about it. I don't think he could hurt Peterson, Matthysse, Maidana, Rios or Alvarado, never mind stop any of them.

    The first Morales fight, versus an 82 year old Morales, was very close leading up to the late KD. Even after the KD Morales was still performing well. Danny won a close first fight. Then he fights him again... for no reason.

    Khan looked sharp in the first couple of rounds. Danny had begun to neutralize Khan's attack and I think the fight would've become very interesting had Danny not looked directly down at the mat and threw a hook as hard as he could :lol::lol::lol:

    In seriousness, though, Danny has some skills. He's among the creme at 140. Him, Lucas, Lamont, Khan, Rios, Alv

    Exactly people forget styles make fights, Garcia will give Judah so much time to think because Garcia is a patient counter puncher, i expect Zab to be jabbing and throwing 1 2's and Garcia swinging to counter but missing
    But saying that if he lands the left hooks its game over his left hook is legit its
    his skills that are overrated

    1) Morales was his first big fight, and Morales (as evidenced by his fights against Maidana, Cano still had some fight in him)
    2) He fought Morales again b/c Morales had a rematch clause. Idk why this is so hard for you ******s to understand.

    Butthurt Garcia fan. So bad.

    Don't worry. As long as Danny keeps fighting people who are 60+ years (ring years), Morales/Judah, or people with fine China in their mandibles, Khan, he'll keep that record intact :good

    i dont his power is overated. and i dnt think he has p4p power like GGG.

    i think garcia get well deserved props. everyone knows he has skills but hes still has skeptics out there but they will still admit hes a top 140 theres no doubting that.

    his left hook has serious power and he throws really nice momentum wise he dnt even gotta throw it that hard cuz he times it so nicely.
