On May 11th Danny Garcia takes on Lamont Peterson in what is shaping up to be a very interesting fight stylistically. Anyone who has seen any sort of training footage of Garcia of late would have noticed his considerable size and stature which tells me that a move up to 147lbs is on the cards.
Lets say he does beat Peterson and moves up to 147,it pretty much opens up some really big opportunities for fights that would be entertaining viewing for both the purists and casual fans. My question is,how well do you think Garcia will do at 147lbs? He had good power at 140 can he translate it to 147? His arrival at 147 would throw up some good potential fights.Thurman,Bradley,Khan,Maidana,Brook would all make good fights for Garcia but how well do you think he would do against these top guys? Personally i was never really a fan of Garcia until he started really proving me wrong. I thought Khan and Matthysse would whoop him but he came out on top and i had to sit back and just applaud the guy. Of late he has had some very sketchy opponents and dubious fight results but he seems to be back on track and if he gets past Peterson and moves up to 147 there will be some very big hitters in that division and i have a feeling Garcia could do some damage.
Thoughts on Danny Garcias potential move up to 147lbs?

Khan will do better than garcia at 147 depending who they fight I can see them both going for May pac winner/loser! And dodging the rest for the time being ala Thurman etc

I'm pretty sure anything Ortiz has done other than beating Berto us void as he's been poor his last 6 fights are 3 loses a draw and 2 wins being knocked out by Mayweather is bad enough, Ortiz had so much natural talent its a shame he had no heart and his best days are waaay behind him... Although I heard he's good in expendables 3

Garcia still holds the 140 "lineal" floyd could look to be the first person since Armstrong (I think) to hold 3 titles in 3 weights
