Danny Garcia wants Thurman, Brook, Mikey Garcia & Crawford
By Chris Williams: Danny Garcia claims he wants fights from Keith Thurman, Mikey Garcia, and Kell Brook when he returns to the ring. Garcia’s comeback is long overdue, and he’s going to need to have to make a shift quickly, or else it’ll be far too late.
A rematch with ‘One Time’ Thurman (30-1-1 22 KOs) would be appealing for Danny if he could persuade the previous WBA/WBC 147-lb champion to choose it.
Thurman has been contacting out Errol Spence Jr, and he could possibly get blessed this calendar year if ‘The Truth’ defeats Yordenis Ugas up coming month in their unification combat on April 16th.
The former two-division planet winner Garcia (36-3 21 KOs) has not fought considering the fact that his reduction to IBF/WBC welterweight winner Errol Spence Jr. in December 2020. Even now, he’s demonstrating fascination in restarting his stalled career.
Danny says a combat from WBO welterweight winner Terence ‘Bud’ Crawford is 1 that he’d like since the two have “history” from their newbie times.
Garcia just turned 34 on March 20th, and it is really obvious that he’s heading to require to get up off the couch soon if he doesn’t want to be neglected totally by the boxing community.
“I didn’t talk no names still, but I would enjoy to combat Thurman once again. I would adore to fight Kell Brook,” explained Danny Garcia to Struggle Hub Tv. “I would really like to battle Mikey Garcia or likely a Crawford struggle. Not following, but which is a significant battle since we have a historical past.”
Danny could possibly be way too late to fight the 35-12 months-aged Kell Brook mainly because he’s envisioned to hang up his gloves just after 1 extra battle.
If Garcia needed to battle the former IBF welterweight winner Brook, he should really have done it a long time in the past mainly because his career has been sinking given that his back again-to-back defeats versus Gennadiy Golovkin and Errol Spence Jr in 2016 and 2017.
According to Superstar Net Well worth, Danny Garcia’s internet worth is $8 million. You can only consider the revenue Danny would have created if he’d been lively in the last two decades due to the fact his loss to Spence in 2020.
That is how it goes, although. It might be as well late for Danny to get the massive fights he’s talking about due to the fact the only kinds worthwhile, Thurman and Crawford, are striving to get the Spence battle.
“I truly feel like he needs any person like me,” claimed Danny about Crawford. “There’s no huge fights in the welterweight division without having Danny Garcia. All you have to do is glance at the figures.
“When Thurman fought me, there were being 16,500 individuals in the Barclay’s Centre [in 2017], and 5 million persons ended up observing. In his very subsequent battle when he fought Josesito Lopez [after two years out of the ring in 2019], there was nobody in the stands, no person cared about the fight,” said Garcia.
Danny’s fight with Thurman might have been historical history, as significantly as the young boxing fans go. That battle took location in 2017, and it was much too lengthy back for the more recent enthusiasts of the sport to have read about it.
Danny and Thurman should have fought a rematch a long time in the past as an alternative of occurring now or following year.
Will boxing fans nevertheless be interested in looking at Danny and Thurman fight 5 or 6 a long time later on? Some could possibly, but not just about as several as it could have been.
“When I fought Porter, we put 14,000 people in the Barclays Middle [in 2018] and did mad numbers on Showtime,” reported Danny. “In his incredibly next combat, he fought Ugas [in March 2019] in California, and there was no just one there. No a person even cared about the combat.
“All you have to do is look at the quantities. There are no big fights in the welterweight division with out Danny Garcia. The figures do not lie. All you have to do is look at the scorecards,” stated Garcia.
