By Dan Ambrose: If ESPN’s Dan Rafael gets his way, Floyd Mayweather Jr. (45-0, 26 KO’s) will be facing WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia next in May rather than Adrien Broner, Amir Khan, Devon Alexander or Marcos Maidana. Rafael thinks Garcia is an exciting fighter and the most qualified to be facing Mayweather fight now due to his wins over a past his prime Erik Morales, as well as his wins over Amir Khan, and Lucas Matthysse.
Rafael said to ESPN “Garcia has shown he can rise to the occasion. Maybe, just maybe, he could do it again against Mayweather…Garcia is an exciting fighter…Garcia has earned his opportunity more than the other candidates under consideration to challenge for Mayweather’s welterweight crown.”
By Dan Ambrose: Trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. isn’t giving WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia (27-0, 16 KO’s) any chance at all in beating his son Floyd Jr. if Garcia turns out to be the one that Floyd Jr. fights next May. That’s something that will be determined based on the outcome of the Amir Khan vs. Devon Alexander fight.
After the final bell of Floyd Mayweather Jr. – Saul “Canelo” Alvarez rung, the search was on for Floyd’s next foe come Cinco de Mayo weekend 2014. Everyone from 160 to 147 were willing to put their bid in on the Floyd sweepstakes. Even light heavyweight titlist Bernard Hopkins stated he can make 160 for Floyd. But when it came to Danny Garcia, who had a career win against Lucas Matthysse before the Canelo fight, most people disregard the thought. 
By Dan Ambrose: Manny Pacquiao may have lost his last 2 fights and could lose his next bout on November 2rd, but boxing fans still want to see him face Floyd Mayweather Jr. next May. In a poll conducted by ESPN, Pacquiao was the overwhelming choice for Mayweather to fight next at 60%. The next highest opponent picked was Danny Garcia at 18% followed by Adrien Broner at 10% and Miguel Cotto at 5%. Amir Khan, Devon Alexander and Lucas Matthysse weren’t included in the poll.
By Ken Woods: The hip hop group Public Enemy made the phrase “don’t believe the hype” popular during the late 80s. This phrase can apply to many aspects of life and sports, especially the boxing ring.
By Franco Ranzoni: Lucas Matthysse arriving back home in Argentina has immediately confirmed to the 
by Jordan Capobianco: The rabid crowds liked it when Lucas Matthysse knocked people out. They wanted to see him knock more people out. They wanted to see him knock Danny Garcia out. They thought he could because he had knocked lots of people out before, and they were seduced by his ability to do it.
By Idol: I’ve been following Lucas Matthysse’s career since the before the Devon Alexander and Zab Judah upsets. I know what he is capable of, and where he lacks fundamentals. Believe me, my heart was shattered as I watched Lucas get beaten last Saturday night by WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia (27-0, 26 KO’s) by a 12 round unanimous decision at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. I’m not going to make excuses for Matthysse. The fact of the matter is Matthysse clearly didn’t deserve the belt.
By R.Amin: Last night was a disappointing night in boxing. I waited for the Danny Garcia vs. Lucas Matthyese fight for months. I thought it was going to be a great night of boxing making history but boy was I wrong. One one side, there was Danny Garcia, a somewhat decent slugger, known mostly from his loud-mouthed dad for his useless rants. I always thought Danny was a b-rated fighter. Danny, however, did surprise me when he KO’ed Amir Khan. On the other side, there was this emerging star name Lucas Matthysse, a very humble fighter with enormous power.
