    Lucas Matthysse was his mandatory but other than him Danny Garcia has cherry picked some 2nd tier or agieng fighters for his opponents since becoming champion.

    He has become champion cherry picker. What excuse for fighting this cat who consistently ranks outside top 10?

    His father once memorably said he doesnt want to see old men fight, since then he rematched Morales, fought Judah and his current opponent is 33. Perhaps I got the quote wrong, perhaps he actually said he ONLY wants to see old men fight?

    its def a garbage fight. but idiots on these boards will say "he deserves a soft touch after matthysse"
    #1 guy at 140 needs to do better than fight the #19 rated fighter at 140 who is 2-2 in his last 4 fights :-(

    i even know herrera only got this fight because gbp called him the morning of the day he was meant to sign a renewal contract with his ex promoters.

    they wanted to sign a mexican to fight danny in puerto rico because of the rivalry.

    herrera is a good boxer, has a good chin, doesnt have knockout power , but stays busy in there.

    they gave garcia's dad angel 5 names to choose from and angel said he wants the best guy and herrera happened to be him so if anything, bash al haymon and GBP for giving garcia an easier fight.

    garcia doesnt pick his opponents.

    He doesnt even rank in the top ten, he lost his last two fights. How is he possibly considered a viable fight for an undisputed champion???

    Tell me Jas, do you think Amir Khan was deserving of a fight against Mayweather? After all he had beaten Maidana?

    herrera deff aint kno tomato can but its not up to people expectations and i can see why. but u kno danny is still young and has a lot of learning to do and they wanna b smart with him and make sure he bounces back from a huge fight wit lucas. cuz man lucas landed sum thunderous shots that woulda put anyone else out . garcia has a really good chin he ate kendall holts punches like nothing.. but then again zab had him staggered late in the fight . they just want him to have a easier fight even tho there fight a good fighter in herrera.

    alright, you make a good point , but **** , we all know they are struggling for opponents for floyd that will generate enough ppv sales. showtime fked up by giving him that 40mil guaranteed per fight contract and now they are panicking.

    they need to keep garcia undefeated so he can fight floyd next year.

    "all roads lead to floyd mayweather"

    and to answer your question, no, amir khan should not have got a fight with mayweather.
