Why is garcia fighting Peterson?

[Maravilla2012]

I think he should stay atop of 140 for as long as he can. Everyone at 147 is bigger and stronger then him. When your best asset is power the last thing you wanna do is go up cause the power might not follow..

I used to think this Maravilla, but how many more fights does Danny have at 140?

Perhaps another year at 140 wont hurt as long as he has three fights this year.

You're right that he might not be able to make the weight anymore as he has said I just think he loses as soon as he steps up. He relies on the left hook too much and will lose to guys like Thurman , Brook , Bradley. Etc

Somehow Peterson got a trinket so I guess he wants to unify.

But yeah the action is happening at 147 now. I wouldn't mind seeing him beating Jessie Vargas, and maybe Broner and Provodnikov. But other than that, who cares about 140 right now?

If anything he should be giving Herrera a rematch

This is a damn good fight for Garcia, with a respectable opponent. Much better than his last fight.
