    My gripe with garcia n this fight...


    Fighting a catchweight fight against a 140lber who hasnt won a meaningful fight in 3 long years. Let alone the herrera fiasco and the rod embarrassment. Not saying i dislike garcia, its just that i think its understandable why many people don't.

    But he still deserves credit. Hes beaten khan n matthysse...

    yeah i understand that.. but garcia has been contimplating moving up for quite sometime now and peterson has trouble making 140 so i can see why 143 was an agreed upon catchweight... and looking at peterson tonite i think he should move up as well... but i mean both fighters went in there and did their job, and the judges decided the outcome... you cant hate a fighter who goes in there and fights his heart out for our entertainment imo like the majority of fans do...i think thats where the fans go wrong man..:-(

    i had garcia winning 115-113 and i like peterson, but he just didnt do enough for me out there to give him the fight..

    What are you talking about? Floyd has tons of fans on boxing forums and in general, but he also receives tons of hate.

    It's like Floyd has 1 billion in the bank account, but also has 500 million in debts.

    Garcia has 5 million in the bank, and 30 million in debts lol, more haters than lovers.

    Garcia has had a couple of very disputed decisions and the Salka bull to his name, so it's pretty obvious that people get down on him and don't give credit where credit isn't due.

    And Floyd's whole image is to dislike the dude. But he does get credit.

    I don't think anyone hates Danny. I didn't think he looked good tonight and I had him losing quite widely but it's nothing against him as a man. Out of interest, do you still have him top 10 p4p after tonight? I didn't think he looked impressive.

    People hate his loud-mouth dad even more. I wonder if he's going to keep talking as much after Danny got pushed around tonight.
