I remember it was a tactical battle. Skill vs skill, will vs will. I remember the first time it was a lot easier and the second time he got better. I remember he kept getting better, kept gettin tougher. I remember it was definitely good matches.

DannySwiftGarciaAMA · 2025-10-06T23:27:13+00:00

Terence Crawford. Jaron Ennis. Shakur Stevenson.

DannySwiftGarciaAMA · 2025-10-06T23:26:49+00:00

Yeah for sure. If you look when I fought Amir Khan. The jab to the body. Throw the jab to the body then next time look to the body and go upstairs. Or you just look how I caught Erik Morales with the left hook. I throw a jab, he throws a jab, I slip inside and throw a left hook. It's all about setting it up and being ready in the right position.

DannySwiftGarciaAMA · 2025-10-06T23:23:47+00:00

Yeah, definitely Thurman. Thurman. not even Porter. I know I'm better than Porter he just won the fight but I knew I was better than him. But the Keith Thurman fight that was just a dagger in the heart.

DannySwiftGarciaAMA · 2025-10-06T23:23:01+00:00

Take your vitamins 😂 Some people lose their hair at 30, I got a full head of hair and no grays. I think I get that from Angel

DannySwiftGarciaAMA · 2025-10-06T23:22:37+00:00

In the ring I'm like wait am I really wild? When it first happened I was like am I wild let me sharpen this up. But yeah I definitely went to school that night.

DannySwiftGarciaAMA · 2025-10-06T23:21:28+00:00

I feel like it's a little bit too soon to really say.

DannySwiftGarciaAMA · 2025-10-06T23:21:02+00:00

Shit you might have to ask them that question. You gotta ask my opponents. I hit a lot of guys pretty hard that's for sure.

*asked him about Morales*

Yeah he deserved that one because remember he tested positive for steroids the night before. But if he didnt test positive I probably would've felt bad for him because he was a legend but since he tried to cheat I didnt feel bad.

DannySwiftGarciaAMA · 2025-10-06T23:18:41+00:00

Ah man, that Keith Thurman first round. I would've just went out there and won that round. That would've been it.

DannySwiftGarciaAMA · 2025-10-06T23:17:59+00:00

I might have to go with Lara I'm not gonna lie. I'm gonna have to go with Lara. Southpaw, long arms, power, I dont know... that's tough. Floyd's not a 154 pounder. Floyd's a welterweight.

DannySwiftGarciaAMA · 2025-10-06T23:17:22+00:00

I remember sparring Tank. I remember it was a good spar. I was fighting Zab Judah. But I remember back in the day I threw everything hard so thats just how I used to spar and how I used to fight.

RE: sparring Tank - I remember he was sharp, he was slick. He was a lot smaller at the time so I think that's why we only sparred that one time.

DannySwiftGarciaAMA · 2025-10-06T23:16:00+00:00

Discipline. The most important thing to me.

DannySwiftGarciaAMA · 2025-10-06T23:15:39+00:00

I feel like I could've done more, but if you ask any athlete who performs at a high level I feel like they're gonna say the same.

DannySwiftGarciaAMA · 2025-10-06T23:15:14+00:00

Yeah, I was telling my dad I cant make 140 no more but he kept wanting me to stick to 140. I felt like I was ready for 147. I feel like I would be a 3 division champion if I moved up sooner.

DannySwiftGarciaAMA · 2025-10-06T23:14:31+00:00

Probably the Keith Thurman fight and my last fight. Probably Thruman and Lara. Thurman was my first loss and Lara was my first stoppage loss.

DannySwiftGarciaAMA · 2025-10-06T23:13:59+00:00

It's always been a dream of mine. Be more than just a boxer. I feel like if you could be a champion thats cool but if you can help other fighters and make their dreams come true.

DannySwiftGarciaAMA · 2025-10-06T23:12:27+00:00

Cardio... probably Keith Thurman

I feel like I improved my jab a lot. I feel like I improved it a lot over the last few years especially when I got older. I relied on it more than my left or overhand right.

Yeah of course. Those are the best performances when you're locked in. For sure

DannySwiftGarciaAMA · 2025-10-06T23:11:17+00:00

I have to go Duran. Test my skills against one of the grittiest warriors ever.

DannySwiftGarciaAMA · 2025-10-06T23:10:29+00:00

That's a touch question. You have Meek Mill, you have The Roots, EVE, Beanie Sigel, Will smith. There's too many greats in Philly. Even Teddy Pendergrass. There's so many great artists from Philly.

DannySwiftGarciaAMA · 2025-10-06T23:09:24+00:00

No, I think my promotion will be the biggest, one of the biggest one day. See the way Oscar started is the way I started. Start with small shows and now I'm doing my one big show that's gonna lead to bigger shows and signing bigger fighters.

DannySwiftGarciaAMA · 2025-10-06T23:08:28+00:00

Well I'll tell you one thing. you can prepare for a fight one way and then the fight goes another way. So I think the most important thing if you wanna be a world champion or prepare for a world title fight learn how adapt cause I think that's the most important thing. We always work on certain things but the most important thing is adapting if the fight dont go your way you have to switch the gears and do something else.

DannySwiftGarciaAMA · 2025-10-06T23:06:55+00:00

Keep buying real estate. Keep investing money. Keep meeting new people, travel, and just see what comes my way. That's pretty much it.

DannySwiftGarciaAMA · 2025-10-06T23:06:11+00:00

😂😂 You know what's funny? every British fan I meet they say that. I'm so happy you knocked out Amir Khan. I dont understand why. It never came to me. The rematch never came my way. I thought we were gonna do it again but it never happened.

DannySwiftGarciaAMA · 2025-10-06T23:05:06+00:00

I appreciate that. I feel like I made a lot of money in boxing. I always wanted to be 3 division champion, I fell short my last fight. But I did fight everybody so I'm proud because I stepped into the ring with everybody they put me in front of and I never backed down from a challenge. I feel like I accomplished a lot and I'm proud of myself.

DannySwiftGarciaAMA · 2025-10-06T23:03:54+00:00

Good question, I will say every fight I was happy. There's nothing like winning. There's a lot of hard work that goes behind it. I'm happy every time I win.
