By Dan Ambrose: Angel Garcia, the father/trainer of WBA/WBC light welterweight Danny Garcia (27-0, 16 KO’s). says he’s not worried if Floyd Mayweather Jr. chooses not to fight Danny anytime soon. Angel believes that Mayweather has earned the right to fight whoever he wants due to his years of being on the top of the sport. Angel says Danny will be creating his own legacy. Of course, some fans feel that the reason why Danny and Angel aren’t worried about not fighting Mayweather is because Danny will likely get badly beaten by him and exposed.
Some fans think that Angel is having Danny wait Mayweather out until he retires from boxing so that he can try and take over Mayweather’s spot at the top of the throne. Getting beaten by Mayweather while he’s still around will make it all but impossible for Danny to become a huge start because it’ll take too many years to make fans forget about how badly Mayweather beat him, and by then there will be better fighters than Danny at 140 that can dominate the division.
“Floyd is the guy, and he has fought for that, and he’s earned that,” Angel said to RingTV. “I’m not going to take nothing away from him. If Floyd don’t want to give us a shot, it’s okay, because Danny is trying to build his own legacy. I’m not mad at him or nothing like that. He’s his own man. If one day, he decides to fight Danny, then, you know, it is what it is. Floyd deserves what he’s got and he’s earned it. We’ll just do the same by building our own legacy.”
Danny at the top in the 140 lb division, but his chances of being in a similar position if he moves up to 147 are slim and none. There are too many good fighters in the welterweight division for Danny to have the same results. One of the things that makes Danny so good is that he’s larger than many of his opponents. If he moves up to 147, he won’t be bigger than all the guys he’s facing.
Danny and Golden Boy Promotions decided to take an easy fight against Mauricio Herrera (20-3, 7 KO’s) on March 15th at the Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez, Bayamon, Puerto Rico. Garcia will likely easily win this fight.
