Official Danny Garcia vs Keith Thurman Thread

[blackbelt2003]

I can't understand why fighters feel they have to move up out of their prime weight classes all the time.

Garcia was part way to unifying the 140 division and being one of its most solid champs. I get it that they want money fights (and everyone from 160 down wanted Mayweather)...but do you really have to give up your belts and fight shitty 147 fights to get it?

Surely it would have made business sense to call Mayweather out when you are the undisputed, ruling 140lb champion with no challengers left? And then, if you do lose, you've got your prime division and belts to go back to. Instead, Garcia has lost his fizzle and his shine and is now a so-so champ fighting ten round non title fights for chump change.


Having said that, the Thurman fight is a good one...I just don't see Danny winning it on current form!
