Danny Garcia on Mayweather vs Canelo: Floyd's not a 154-pound fighter

Danny Garcia had high praise for Floyd Mayweather's performance against Robert Guerrero, but sounds skeptical of a potential Floyd fight at 154 pounds against Canelo Alvarez.

Danny, what did you think of the main event between Floyd Mayweather and Guerrero?

Danny Garcia

It was a good fight. Mayweather dominated for 12 rounds. I expected a 12-round decision. It was a good fight. Guerrero put up a good effort. He's a warrior. It was a good fight.

Fight Hub TV

A fighter like yourself who always shows the warrior sport, do you give any criticism to Floyd for maybe not turning it up in the later rounds and cruising to a decision?

Danny Garcia

Nah, I mean, why take unnecessary punishment if you're controlling the fight from the outside? He dominated, you know? Floyd's being smart. He's (36) years old, you don't need to take no punishment. He wants to stay fresh, use his legs, use his brain. He had a great game plan.

Who would you like to see Floyd fight next?

Danny Garcia

It doesn't matter. All his fights are big fights. Whoever they want him to fight.

Fight Hub TV

How do you think Canelo matches up against Floyd?

Danny Garcia

Floyd Mayweather's a welterweight. He fights at 154 sometimes, but he's not a 154-pound fighter. Canelo rehydrates to 170 pounds overnight. If Canelo can make 147, I think it'd be a good fight, and probably Floyd would win a decision.

Danny, you're healing up nicely. How are you enjoying the time off?

Danny Garcia

I'm having a great time, man. It's a great atmosphere in Vegas. I'm just enjoying looking at the women, going to the clubs, having a good time, just livin' life, man, enjoying this victory and having fun.

What's next for you?

Danny Garcia

I'm here in September. It's not for sure yet, but September.

Anything you wanna let the fans know before we let you go?

Danny Garcia

Support me, love me. You know what I bring to the table. Speed, power, handsome looks, the ladies love me. I'm training hard and I'm looking good at the same time.
