Marcos Maidana is planning his return to the ring by the late summer or early fall, and it’s obvious he smelled blood in the water after Garcia’s unimpressive performance.
I don’t care who won tonite but nobody will save @DannySwift Garcia if we fight. Let’s do it.

“Chino” is just one of the many tough fights that Danny Garcia could take if he thinks he’s ready to fight the best in the Welterweight division.
Now let’s be honest, opponents like Floyd Mayweather and Keith Thurman are far too risky for Garcia’s first fight at 147 pounds.
But the next level of top ranked talent could provide a platter of pickings for Garcia, such as Devon Alexander, who’s coming off a loss to Amir Khan and doesn’t bring a power threat into the ring.
Also, Robert Guerrero, who even though he is a good fighter, could be good matchup stylistically for Garcia, who would have a clear speed advantage against “The Ghost.”
We also saw Italy’s Leonard Bundu give Keith Thurman a tough fight back in December 2014, an awkward veteran like Bundu could give Garcia the type of competitive rounds he needs to get adjusted to the Welterweight division.
The limited and hittable Andre Berto will be looking for an opponent for his next fight. Berto got his legs back under him with a sixth-round KO victory over Josesito Lopez back on March 13, 2015.
The point is that the Welterweight division is stacked, and if Danny Garcia is serious about making the move up, he’ll have a wide array of options to choose from.
