But Why?? What has Top 7 Garcia accomplished at 147.. Who has he beat?? Bud Ugas and Mikey would also be Garcia best win at 147
That’s the point, they all have the same level of wins so why shyt on the guy that’s actually getting in the ring with everybody and it’s not like he’s losing 12-0 or getting knocked out. He won 4 to 5 rounds in both his step up fights.

Danny’s no bum. Imma fan but his flaws were obvious especially in his two L’s against Porter and Thurman. Porter even switched it up and was bouncing on the outside a lot. Swift is a plodding fighter, struggles when someone can keep the distance ,yet also be physical and can keep him honest with their power.

Nonetheless, he’s still a threat to any fighter and while he lacks a signature win at 147 .. he’s a threat with power in both hands and has underrated Ring IQ. People writing him off but he’s very much a live dog in this fight. I been said this is a great clash of styles between DSG and EJ.

I mean other than Manny , it’s realistically the only fight that can be made since Spence mentions in every interview multiple times, he’s not giving Keith a fight for what Thurman did when he had the strap(s) :pachaha:

At 147 Danny is nothing but a gatekeeper.. Yall wanna pretend like it aint been 5 years since the nikka beat anybody with a pulse go right ahead.. Spence beats him, all it proves is he is straight after the car accident.. Nothing more

So who is he supposed to fight bro? Danny is his MANDATORY and he is a name. Believe me this is a better fight on paper than Pac vs Broner or Crawford vs Khan... by a significant margin.

So then what does he gain ON PAPER from beating Danny that Pac and Crawford didn't gain from those fights??

Bro why are you complaining about a GOOD matchup? Don't we complain ALL THE TIME about complete mismatches, yet you sitting here playing devils advocate for why a top fighter should fight a competitive fight who is also his MANDATORY? WHY ARE YOU EVEN ARGUING THIS?!

Would you rather see Spence fight Josesito Lopez? Maybe he can go dig up Thomas Dulorme? Mauricio Herrera maybe? Or better yet he can go fight Broner. How about the Ghost of Robert Ghost Guerrero? How about he brings Shane Mosley out of retirement? Why are you complaining about a relatively good matchup right now when we haven't had boxing in going on 4 months now? This is not the topic to play devils advocate for bruh.:gucci:

Shawn Porter: I Would Rather Have Had Pacquiao's Career Than Mayweather's
By Keith Idec

Published On Sun May 24, 2020, 08:32 AM EDT

Floyd Mayweather retired undefeated.

The five-division champion also earned an unprecedented amount of money for a boxer, in excess of $700 million during a pro career that spanned nearly 21 years. And Mayweather beat Manny Pacquiao quite comfortably when they fought five years ago in a welterweight championship match.

Shawn Porter still would rather have had Pacquiao’s career than Mayweather’s. The former IBF/WBC welterweight champion made that revelation in response to a fan’s question during the newest episode of Impact Network’s “Stars and Champions,” which premiered Friday night.

“I’m actually gonna go with Manny,” Porter told host Dan Rafael. “I think that even though Manny has taken a lot of punishment – he’s been in a lot of wars, he’s been in a lot of exciting fights. You know me – I like the war. I like the battle and I like the excitement. So, for those reasons, I would pick Manny. And then on top of that, if you look around the world more people appreciate Manny. More people respect and adore Manny than dislike him [than] Floyd Mayweather.”

Rafael reminded Porter that he was supposed to answer from the perspective of a fighter, not a fan. He told the BoxingScene.com contributor and former ESPN.com writer that he’d still pick Pacquiao, the Filipino legend who also serves his country as a senator.

“Even me as the boxer, because just like when I get in the ring and I get people up on their feet, that’s what Manny Pacquiao did,” Porter said. “And Floyd’s been able to do it, too, but not as [much]. I don’t think the excitement – it was a different level to the excitement. They’re two different fighters. But again, at the end of the day, when Manny Pacquiao goes out and he walks up and down the street, more people are willing to shake his hand and say hi to him than make a mean mug or wanna confront him or anything like that. Which I think a lot of people nowadays don’t appreciate Floyd Mayweather for everything that he’s done for this sport because it’s been overshadowed by some of the things that he’s done outside of the sport.”

The 43-year-old Mayweather (50-0, 27 KOs) retired for the third time following his 10th-round, technical-knockout victory over UFC superstar Conor McGregor in August 2017. The 41-year-old Pacquiao (62-7-2, 39 KOs) remains the WBA “super” welterweight champion.

The only matches at 147 I care to see is between Spence, Pac, and Bud.. Spence fighting a guy that lost to the guy he just beat is going backwards. And is an unnecessary fight to take coming off that accident which can potentially ruin the fights at 147 I want to see.. Again, Spence gains NOTHING from this fight. All those washed guys you named is the caliber of fighters that Danny can only manage to beat at 147

So who is he gonna fight next then, since you wanna complain so much about him fighting a mandatory, HIS MANDATORY. Pick somebody then. :martin:

nikkas be complaining just to be complaining.

I already told you.. He should take a light touch to assess where he's at coming off that accident. I dont want to see him take an unnecessary potentially risky fight where he gains NOTHING and can fukk up the fight at 147 that actually matters
