By Dan Ambrose: After wasting the last three years of his career fighting largely weaker, WBC welterweight champion Danny Garcia is now saying he wants Keith Thurman and Saul Canelo Alvarez in back to back fights after he gets past contender Samuel Vargas (25-2-1, 13 KOs) in their fight on November 12.
Garcia is already slotted to face Thurman in a unification fight in early 2017. What’s interesting is that Garcia is now looking past the Thurman fight towards a match against former WBC middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez. The unbeaten Garcia (32-0, 18 KOs) thinks he can beat Canelo. He says he’s a better fighter than the last guy Canelo fought in Liam Smith.
