Why should khan rematch Madiana? He beat him after Prescott. He also went on to fight Peterson in his back yard when Khan was the belt holder. Garcia two defences have not Bern against, dangerous, young or hungry fighters. No comparison and the fact you think Khan would never beat Garcia shows you are being irrational. Khan is more than capable of beating Garcia, as are many.
The thing with khan is that when someone hurts him and knocks him out it takes something away from him permanently.
Khan is just not tough enough to beat garcia. You can pull out all garcias old opponents and how he struggled with guy and etc but the bottom line is he had and will always have khans number.
Its the same with prescott.
Khan just fought a guy 8 years past his prime and was knockdown twice and never really hurt his opponent. Khan is a nice guy with great boxing skills but the blueprint is there for all to see..rough him up in the second half of the fight and his punch resistance will drown.
Wow I just don't see it. I love Danny Garcia, but nothing about him screams unbeatable to me. I have serious doubts about whether or not he can even get by Matthyse!
over shaddowed ?
Khan is exciting with wicked handspeed but does not have Wlad massive size and jab to dictate fights.
But you are correct when mentioning the comparison (joke or not) Wlad is another one that hates to fight and turns into a big girls blouse and gets flustered when it gets rough.
Both khan and Wlad have issues with fighting and suffer intermittent punch resistance but if they stick to boxing that is their safe little warm cosy place.
Danny garcia next fight needs to be mattysshe or karim mayfield.
There is no other options and september will prove whether garcia is the top dog of the divison or not.
If Garcia whips Matthyse, I'll be all in.
Garcia is far from a complete fighter. He does pack a dynamite left hook, his right hand is a bit wild and he does fight at a slow pace. I think Matthysse has the beating of him and Khan would have stopped him mid way. He is a relatively good fighter but not great.
Khan just needs to face light punchers and stay away from guys with knockout power. Devon Alexander or Timothy Bradley would be good tests at 147.
Garcia a good, solid boxer. He hasn't lost, but he's also faced guys at the right time in my opinion, which is completely his right, but it is what it is. I'm very curious to see if GB gets Garcia-Matthysse made. I have my doubts it gets done. That's one of the most explosive fights out there at any weight.
They have him up against Lucas Matthysse. I have Garcia to win a split decision... no ko, unless Lucas gets VERY lucky and wobbles Garcia and the ref decides the fight and/or Lucas wins a few rounds while Garcia runs to recover. But Garcia isn't the type of fighter you get lucky on.... imo...
There are some fighters that you simply have to wear them down in order to win against them, Alexander, Floyd, JMM (even with his multiple knock-downs, he gets back up and comes back strong UNLIKE Tim Bradley, who has questionable fight wins- most notably vs. Manny Pac and Provodnik), Hagler also comes to mind and Ali also comes to mind.
Garcia is one of those fighters that you have to wear him down. You don't get a lucky-stiff-shot in easily, and when you do, he recovers quickly and sops up the pain really well.
This fight goes the distance and with Garcia winning a split...
