Re: Garcia is going to 147
Really? I would've thought maybe a rematch with Matthysse, or another 1 or 2 fights to leave no doubt at 140. Then a move up to 147. Is Garcia having trouble making the weight or something?
I mean granted.... he gained a whole lot of new respect from me with his tremendous showing in last night's fight.
Re: Garcia is going to 147
To bad Floyd couldn't drop to 140 and attempt to hold 3 titles at once like Armstrong did. I think Garcia should take 1 more bout at 147 if that is indeed the route he wants to go. Malignaggi would be a decent test in preparing to fight the p4p king.

he's right there isn't anything left at 140 other than maybe a rematch with Matthysse (I don't see the need for one other than it was a fun fight) or the winner of Alvarado/Provodnikov
another good matchup that came to me yesterday that could actually be a surprisingly good fight would be Khan Vs Broner at 147, it's a win win for me, cause whoever loses will put a smile on my face but honestly their styles would probably mesh well and make an entertaining fight
back to Garcia, he has options at 147, there's the Bradley/Marquez winner, Berto, Guerrero, Ortiz, Broner/Maidana winner, Khan rematch, Pacquiao/Rios winner, Alexander, Brook, Thurman, Porter who just won this weekend against Julio Diaz in a rematch, Karass, Cano, and even Malignaggi, welterweight is starting to get the deepest it's been in a while, good fights to be made

Don't know brother. Everybody else has already moved up. Maybe he fights the winner of Bradley/Marquez first. 140 is running a little dry.

I think fighting Floyd is a bad idea, but I was worried about Matthysse too. It's hard to resist the money that a Floyd fight offers. Hey, it's about the money and who knows maybe he is "The One".
Re: Garcia is going to 147
Garcia vs Broner. Fun fight!
Re: Garcia is going to 147
I thought Khan wanted a rematch at lightwelterweight to prove he is the best at the weight.

Khan has expressed over and over that he plans to move up to 147 very soon

After he unifies the light welterweight division.

well he's apparently realized that that's never going to happen, and he uses making weight as an excuse so realistically expect his next fight to be at 147
Re: Garcia is going to 147
Danny can do whatever he wants now. He is a true champ and a true warrior. He smashed Khan and now he beat one of the most feared guys in all of boxing.
Re: Garcia is going to 147
Realistically he will probably take a Mayweather fight if it's on the table, but I don't care to see that at all. He could fight the winner of Marquez-Bradley, or Broner-Maidana, Khan or Alexander if either of those two do anything. All great fights for him imo, but a wide decision loss to Floyd for 10x the money is appetizing I would imagine.

same here, I'm not really interested in a Garcia/Mayweather fight at the moment, but welterweight is starting to get pretty deep and filled with good fighters, Garcia has plenty of options at 147
