    Do you think the same thing about GGGs entire career?

    In fact I think GGG fans will be claiming DSG is ducking him and that Danny is 5lbs bigger than GGG on fight night

    I can't see Danny legitimately beating Thurman at 147. If he does then full credit to him. He should still have an L on his ledger though. Herrera was shamelessly robbed. I couldn't care less about that cheat Peterson not getting the nod though. He's lucky to have been ever allowed in a ring again in my opinion.

    If Danny really wants to make me a fan though all he has to do is lay one of those meaty left hooks of his on his dad's chin. It'd be a thing of beauty.

    My mistake, that's an example of how little attention I actually pay your posts.

    Even so Garcia isn't the full package either, They don't call him Danny "Gift" Garcia for nothing.

    First, he needs to sign the contract and enter the ring against Thurman. It's easy to talk when you end up ducking. The comments on Canelo are being since he knows he will never face him. Garcia is a notorious cherry picker.

    If Garcia's official fight night weight comes in the same as Golovkins and then Garcia stops showing his fight night weight then they wouldn't be wrong in assuming it.

    GGG comes in at 168-169 for the morning weigh in where he can be a max 170, the guy is clearly 175+ come fight night

    How the **** is he small for middleweight?, no 154lber weighs that much, let alone a natural 140lber like DSG

    Look, Danny is a good fighter. Maybe not as good as he was at 140, but win/lose/draw vs Thurman, if he continues to go years at a time cherry picking fighters well below his level, he will continue to get called "Cherry".

    Tell me the last fight he had that wasn't a cherry pick and how many years it's been since he fought a decent opponent?

    What? GGG usually comes in om fight night closer to 170. Rehydrating 10 pounds at middleweight is on the low side hence he is a small to mid sized middleweight. Canelo at 154 or 155 rehydrates up to 170 as well. A much larger percentage. Hence he is really big for 154.

    Counting his upcoming cherry pick, Four of his last 6 fights going back to 2013 were cherry picks. Not very good for a guy who was viewed as the top guy at 140 and a big name in 2012-13. His 5 fight resume leading up to and including Lucas were far better than his 5 fights since.

    Now name me some other fighters that were considered the best at their weight class who went on undefeated and yet fighting multiple opponents not ranked in the top 15 while turning down multi million dollar paydays?

    GGG is not a small MW neither is he a big MW. Hes right on target rehydrating around 10 pounds or about one division north.

    Who are you arguing with? GGG comes in at 171-173 because there's a few hours between the IBF day of weigh in and the fight. When did I ever say GGG was a small middleweight?
