Marquez impressed the shyt outta me in this fight. I'm always impressed when little guys move up in weight and show out. Like an absolutely washed morales moving up and touching up Danny. Makes me wish they moved up in their primes.
morales was touching up maidana too when he moved to 140...el terrible was a hell of a fighter

If they had stopped after 3, I would have that as the best trilogy ever for consistent action and close competition. All 3 fights were excellent.



2 of the top 3 wins are James Toney and John Ruiz. The 3rd? Maybe beating Bernard Hopkins? Both guys were still relatively green. Otherwise it would easily by one of the top. Gutting out a tough win over Antonio Tarver in the first fight? Virgil Hill body shot?

I thought him at his peak might have been Bryant Brannon. Not one of his best wins due to opposition level, but just in terms of him at his best. It was like his version of Muhammad Ali-Cleveland Williams.
his second fight against montell has to be top 3

The Rocky franchise was built off unrealistic fights and scenarios that would never happen.


but damn Breh getting a title fight at the staple center for his first professional fight after doing an 18 year bid was a bit much, even for Rocky standards

Danny Garcia Dismisses Possible Tony Harrison Clash: “Me Fighting Him Would Only Help Him”​

The overwhelming amount of success that Danny Garcia has experienced throughout his career has allowed him to protrude toward the top of the pugilistic mountain. However, thanks to the Philadelphia native aggregating world titles in two separate weight classes and a following that accentuates his overarching star power, he finds himself on the wishlist of countless foes.
Tony Harrison, a former world champion at 154 pounds, has brazenly mentioned Garcia as someone he would love to take on in the immediate future. Although the former belt holder at both 140 and 147 pounds has the utmost respect for Harrison, from a monetary standpoint, a showdown against the Detroit native doesn't exactly pique Garcia’s financial interest.
“I like Tony Harrison,” said Garcia during an interview with YSM Sports Media. “I think he’s a good fighter but that’s not the fight I’m looking for. I want big-name fights. I’m not saying he’s not a big name but he’s not gonna give me the 10 million dollar fight. At this point in my career, I want big names only. Anything that makes sense.”
For Garcia, his bank account has flourished thanks to mega showdowns against Errol Spence Jr., Amir Khan, and Zab Judah. And while Harrison has proven his championship mettle, Garcia believes that he’s been down this road before.
In back-to-back years against Keith Thurman and Shawn Porter, Garcia, to a certain extent, believes that he did both fighters a favor. Although he would come up short, Garcia (37-3, 21 KOs) concludes that the star power of both Thurman and Porter soared to new heights thanks to his name being attached to theirs on separate fighting bills.
In any event, despite Garcia being somewhat unwilling to help bolster Harrison’s profile, the 32-year-old has traveled to Australia to take on Tim Tszyu with the WBO junior middleweight title on the line on March 12th. Garcia, nevertheless, wishes Harrison nothing but the best in his future endeavors.
As for what could be next for the highly ranked 154-pound contender, only time will tell. Ultimately, no matter who he shares the ring with next, Garcia won’t saunter through those ropes unless he receives a gigantic payday to make it worth his while.
“Me fighting him would only help him. Like I would give him a name. I don’t have a problem with that. I helped Porter, I helped Thurman. People knew who they were but I made them bigger stars. At this point in my career, big names only. Big dollar signs. I don't have time to be wasting.”



someone who clearly wants to cash out..imagine not wanting smoke at 154...well if i failed to stop or hurt jose benavidez i suppose my mindstate would be different too :pachaha:
