I like Danny but he got so many gifts on the W side it’s easy to not be enthralled with him

Exactly, I agree with Tito's assessment.. and if you look at the 2 losses, Garcia certainly looks better than many are people are giving him credit for. Considering how he went life and death with Hererra, Petersen and the other times where he under performed when they were letting him simmer with a few hand picked opponents, its not very hard to see him being outclassed by the guys at the very top of the division. Then of course the anchor hes dragging around is he has to back up his own talk and that of his father too.

Garcia should beat Granados pretty easily, but Granados is pretty rough and may give Garcia some troubles. Garcia has problems with pressure fighters. I’m actually more interested in this fight than I should be.

I used to be a fan of Garcia, but he avoided too many fighters for too long and is still avoiding Spence.

Don't normally disagree with you but.... who exactly had Danny avoided in terms of "too many fighters for too long"? The only name you could possibly bring up, and it'd be up in the air is Broner. Other than that, I'd argue that Danny's list of opponents is greater than either Porter's or Thurman's, and actually only second to Manny's if we're talking about the Big Six. Crawford is a newcomer at welter, and hopefully he'll be fighting some of the top welters soon enough. Meanwhile, he's taken a fight with Khan. Once he shuts up Khan, hopefully he focuses on the top WW's. Spence is probably being avoided by everybody, so it's tough to single out Danny for that.

I'm thinking this is the year it all gets sorted out, and we'll see who's willing to fight who.

After his Matthysse win, he didn’t really fight any top guy for 2 1/2 years (maybe you could count Peterson but he has never been seen as a top fighter. More of a solid fighter). He finally fought Thurman. After that loss, he become very inactive. It took a year to fight after that loss and then he fought Porter after that.

He doesn’t have a bad resume, but after his big win against Matthysse 6 years ago, he hasn’t been that impressive with who he has chosen to fight.

I think after beating Matthysse the fans expected great things and Danny didn't exactly deliver. His lack of activity has been a factor, as well as his choice of opponents immediately after Matthysse (who if I remember correctly Danny was accused of being scared of before their fight, and we all know what happened there). The bar was set pretty high... and Danny made some questionable career moves. He also looked beatable against Herrera in his first fight after Lucas. However, he did face both Thurman and Porter, so he can't be faulted all that much. Certainly not the profile of a ducker, as you seemed to imply a couple of posts back. I feel the ball is in his court. He's certainly got the opponents out there. In fact, a welterweight WBSS tournament would be just the cure for all that ails us in the welter division.

Looking forward to this one. It has been a while since Garcia has done something special and for me he'll always have that asterisk of the Herrera fight which I think was a clear loss. I've come around on him a bit but just feel he could have dug deeper with both Thurman and Porter and let his hands go. The guy is a top notch combination puncher. Meanwhile all Granados does is fight all comers and I think he was shafted at least 3 times clearly v Cintron, Soloman and Broner. The guy is all hustle and a tough nut to crack. Real late start time on this one and at the risk of jinxing it...live baseball is on prior . Delay very possible. PBC on Fox totally botched it's last main event and ran it as "live" which it was not.
