Man I’m saddened that this era is coming to an end. Danny Garcia, Thurman, Sean Porter, Errol Spence, Deontae Wilder, Broner etc. The pbc days. Man what an era 😢
This was a horrible era.. we never got Garcia vs Crawford or Spence vs Thurman, or Crawford vs Thurman.. all thanks to pbc wanting in-house fights.. so glad pbc is tanking because now they’re willing to work with other promoters
@@neometalx9 It was a little Straight Left. Kinda strange to me people are that surprised a former 140 pounder went to the ground from a deceptively strong career 154 pounder. Lara is the one who went life and death with Hurd and is still going strong into his 40s.
I honestly don't think it's father time. 36 isn't that old. Again Lara is 41. It is a lack of motivation, drive and other priorities. He hadn't fought in 2 years so you can't tell me at 34 it was father time.
@@KING17626 yup, Danny's been confused for years now. He needs the time off, it's AL Haymons plan, etc. Truth is Danny was never an elite talent after 140. Good fighter with an iron chin. Whenever he stepped up against elite competition he didn't pull the trigger. It's almost like he just posterizes just to look like he's doing something. Danny's been tricking the public for a while. Not me though. I been saw his decline, not throwing enough punches being a one trick pony and not hungry. His PBC paydays are gone. The weight classes and inactivity are excuses. He just needed that one payday to support his sisters and dad. Go ahead and retire. I don't care if you lose. It's how you lose.
Danny was a 140lb sized fighter with average footwork & hand speed (for a champion level boxer) 147 & 154 was only for the paydays. I think his passion for greatness died out 5-7 yrs ago. 35-36 with todays knowledge & medicine is not too old if you know how to take care of your body and really want it. But the wise man knows the brain risks & walks away to coach or make commentary
LOL.. De La Hoya was active his entire career, fighting name after name, division after division, hoping from one weight to another, up and back down, up and down... Garcia best years were 2012 and 2013, practically been retired since fighting Porter in 2018, and last true meaningful fight? 2016, against Thurman... comparing Garcia to De La Hoya is comical, you might as well just get on two knees.
De La Hoya is an almost perfect comparison. As soon as as he stepped up too much to a weight class where he didn’t belong, he got sent back down to 154~by Bernard who is a much bigger dude. Oscar barely made it past Sturm at 160, and based on that performance had no business getting in there with Bernard. Bernard finished him with a single well placed liver shot. De La Hoya did have success in going back down to 154 and beating Mayorga, and I thought he beat Floyd too. Danny could go back down to 154, but really needs to do a gut check here and some soul searching. You can’t play boxing. If Danny is to continue on, he needs to get in with who are similar in size and reach, Lara has an insane 75.5” reach advantage, like 6-7 inches more than Danny’s.
@@dennishouse6200 Ryan has been going for the big fights. Tank is fighting big opponents too. Inoue out here collecting belts and fighters like shooshoo and boots are looking for the big fights too. Bam Rodriguez a heavy hitter and Ortiz as well. Boxing hasn't lost drive if anything it's the old heads that don't want to make the big fights in Crawford canelo and other big names
@@dennishouse6200 @dennishouse6200 you didn't mention any guys. This guy talking about fighters in general and you just gave a reasoning to what he said. In reality it's not true it's just that your favorite fighters don't fight anymore or are on their way out
that aint ur generation ... i saw ur fight agaist cotto .. i was 9 nd was the reason why i started watching boxing paulie ..that was some real life rocky shii
Great Breakdown Paulie…. I think a lot of us who have competed can identify with your thoughts, but I respect the sentiments of those like you who have done it at the highest level. Motivation is so tricky because it can never prepare you for contentment. Once contentment hits, you have to decide in you can operate in a competitive environment. A few can, but most cannot. Because as you said, you have to decide, if you’re willing to go, where you no longer “need” to go…because you’ve already been there.
I think Danny knew that he was getting hit by slow and sluggish jabs by Lara and in Garcias head he thought “I shouldnt be getting hit by these jabs” and then he thought “Nah i dont have this in me anymore, i dont want it”
His best days were behind him. I enjoyed watching him through the years he had an amazing career. I was a big fan and I know him and Angel have plenty of business ventures to come. I was at the Barclay's in BK for him vs Thurman it was electric. Salute to Garcia n Fam.✌🏼🙌🏼✌🏼 Respect
@louio it was a great fight could have went either way. Keith was exciting fighter back then too. Rematch would have been cool. Boxing doesn't always give the fans what they want.
Great insights Paulie, this really gave me a lot of inside baseball into how hard it is to train and spar as an older fighter. I'm 50, not even a boxer, and still need to get my old fire back...
Think all that generation of 140lb & 147lb fighters all went on too long sadly and lost that mindset they once had or too many wars & tough fights - Garcia, Khan, Porter, Brook, Paulie yourself, Alexander, Judah, Peterson
Garcia had decent skills, but he had too much inactivity late in his career. Most of the fans didn't care about him in the end. Activity matters, especially if you want the fans to follow you...
What happened to my generation? I'm 73 now and remember watching the greats for free. Wide World of Sports. Friday Night Fights. Now you don't even get coverage of boxing in the Olympics.
Paulie, it is simple, slow this playback speed just 20% and it becomes normal. Your're just ahead of the curve hermano!!! Talking about yor talent here.
Paulie didn't tell no lies! Agree with everything here. Boxing literally takes everything you have to give and the minute you lose that 'narcissistic ' drive its down hill from there.! I feel like fanny is now using boxing to help with mental health issues instead of just being focused on winning. Age and time changes us.
Boxing isn't easy Especially if you are not hungry and willing to be the best. That's why I respected a guy like usyk man I remember seeing this guy sleeping on a hay bed just training and fighting his way to the top
Danny should hang up the gloves. Its sad to see all these fighters from your generation keep taking these punches and not having it in the ring. It all has to end sometime in our lives. Danny gave us a great career. Its hard to let it go. But become a trainer for the amateurs if you want to stay in the game. Train the next generation of boxers.
Canelo ducks and Paulie is cut from a OG cloth that u can't be considered the best if your a clear ducker bro don't even answer questions about benavidez anymore that's blatantly ducking
@dontrah1838 he don't talk about how Floyd didn't fight khan Thurman or Bradley. Remember when Paul Williams was on top where was Floyd. Paulie don't keep the same energy with everyone.
@@G-spookyk4zs totally different mayweather never held captive all the belts and kept the division on standstill canelo causes a rip tide effect because he was holding all the belts mayweather wasn't holding up divisions like canelo is
When I saw Garcia fold and go down I thought back to when he retired El Terriblé with that massive left hook. I loved El Terriblé and it was sad to see him go out like that. Now Garcia is finished in boxing. Father Time is undefeated.
You always have the best takes when it comes to the fight game. I've been a fan of yours since you fought Cotto. I'm still pissed you got robbed on that AB decision. God Bless you and your fam.
I think that he should have taken a tune up 1st. Then if successful, challenge Lara .. Tune up may as well could have been against an B LEVEL skilled fighter.
The other side to that though is that this was a world title fight on an expensive PPV card that people paid their hard earned money to watch. Danny's effort wasn't good enough. At some point it starts to feel like they're just robbing the fans.
Danny has always been a good warrior but the wars were very few in these last four years. He needed a tune up but he thought his car was running well enough to win the race.
The law of diminishing returns. Once a fighter loses the fire he just becomes a stepping stone for younger, hungrier fighters. Garcia should retire and enjoy life.
Pauline is gone because he was worried about AB taking his side piece rather than fighting.And i would have to question Boxing HOF committee if they let D.Garcia in
Polly you. Really bring it for real. You are the real thing polly, I think I should just fight 2 more fights.He still got it, I give crack to both of them
Peter fury Dominic ingle an paulie r Defoe 3 of the top people I like to listen to in boxing ....Always take something after listening to one of these is right Paulie mate Uk Liverpool...😎
I think having Angel as his dad has taken a lot out of Danny. There is just so much BS you have to deal with with that guy, that it must just wear Danny down.
How can anyone be surprised by this ? This is a guy that padded his record with cherry pick after cherry pick. Angel Garcia is quoted saying “ why fight each other when you can fight a salka?” Even the move up in weight for the sole purpose of not suffering through a weight cut is a major sign in a fighters mental state. Danny was never cut like that
I hope Danny Garcia can bounce back if he chooses to fight again but because of him being inactive and the fact age catches up to every fighter it might be best to retire at this point.
Lara hit Danny with that jab and Danny had Spence flashbacks. I think Danny is done. And that is okay. He had a good run and we the fans had fun watching him and his no-look hook… 😎
Paulie, Lightbulb! You should grow out the Thundercat hair like the Coto fight and do a spin-off show with Algerie called: Twinkle Twinkle Jimmy, Hah!?
i mean it seems like he’s done. but if thurman is still trying to come back a rematch at 154 would make sense for both of them. familiar with each other, end of their careers and one last decent pay day.
Father time is undefeated. We all have a physical peak and sadly Danny is past his. Mid 30s is a weird age in the sense that it varies so much in physical terms. Some people are better than ever at that age, others can be totally past it. Look at B-Hop, he was at his best in his late 30s.
You can tell he was there just to get that last check and not get knocked and he talked about both in a interview how he Danny and he not going to knock him out and about investing that money
Danny lost his love for boxing after the Mathysse fight , in conjunction with the birth of his first child.. fighting once a year or every two yrs. In addition he’s all set as far as finances.. he owns mad property in Florida , Philly, & I believe also in Puerto Rico. He had the talent & potential but decided not to be dedicated. Angel was more dedicated to boxing than Danny , to bad Angel wasn’t a boxer ,probably would’ve been great. In conclusion yeah Danny should retire there is nothing to think about in making that decision
There's easier guys to (jump up a few weight divisions and) fight a comeback fight with than a tricky Cuban southpaw like Lara. Danny, was never going to be able to force Lara to fight any other fight than what Lara wanted.
I could see Danny taking a send-off fight in Philly against someone easy, but he's probably done. I never would have expected him to come out looking as flat as he did. I think it is indeed his personal/mentality issues and the inactivity because 36 isn't even that old nowadays, especially for a boxer known for being fundamentally sound with a good chin and conditioning.
I think it’s over for that whole era to be honest. The sun has set. Danny should be a hall of famer. With a win I saw him as first ballot no question. But even in a stoppage loss in a fight where he was completely outclassed and checked out mentally he still is a hall of famer. As with Lara. He earned the hall of fame nod.
Man I’m saddened that this era is coming to an end. Danny Garcia, Thurman, Sean Porter, Errol Spence, Deontae Wilder, Broner etc. The pbc days. Man what an era 😢
Yup, we’re getting old 😭
And the charlo bros. Only man standing is Bud, the man robbed by top rank.
Bud the only one who going strong
The guy everyone hated on bcuz he wasn’t with pbc
Boxing is doomed 😂😂😂
This was a horrible era.. we never got Garcia vs Crawford or Spence vs Thurman, or Crawford vs Thurman.. all thanks to pbc wanting in-house fights.. so glad pbc is tanking because now they’re willing to work with other promoters
I think PBC ages its fighters with inactivity that plays a part...
Facts
Yeah, because they fight once every 18 months on average lol
The war in the Plant vs McCumby and then to see Danny Garcia go down with a jab and the father throwing in the towel made this more emotional.
Danny should of went out on his shield it's definitely a blemish ion care I gotten keep it 💯 but still props for fighting but damn🤦
That was a left hand, Lara's stronger arm I think
Real Talk !I agree Paulie with you.

He also lucked out with very questionable decisions against Herrera and Peterson. Don't think he won neither of those fights.
Lara was always a nightmare stylistically for Danny, only chance Danny had was if he landed that perfect left hook.
Preach.. anytime it woulda been the same fight .
Danny hasn’t had one punch ko power since 140. Even at 147 you could see it missing. He had no business up here vs lara

There's easier guys to (jump up a few weight divisions and) fight a comeback fight with than a tricky Cuban southpaw like Lara. Danny, was never going to be able to force Lara to fight any other fight than what Lara wanted.
I could see Danny taking a send-off fight in Philly against someone easy, but he's probably done. I never would have expected him to come out looking as flat as he did. I think it is indeed his personal/mentality issues and the inactivity because 36 isn't even that old nowadays, especially for a boxer known for being fundamentally sound with a good chin and conditioning.
💪🏼💪🏼🔥 Danny had one foot out and was looking for a payday.
Can we please stop lowering the bar!
Elite fighters belong in the HOF. Danny has never been considered or thought of as elite or great. Just good.
And yes, Danny is done. Great career
Danny fought everybody. Had a great run 👍
I think it’s over for that whole era to be honest. The sun has set. Danny should be a hall of famer. With a win I saw him as first ballot no question. But even in a stoppage loss in a fight where he was completely outclassed and checked out mentally he still is a hall of famer. As with Lara. He earned the hall of fame nod.
