There’s a Hollywood expression – if you’re going to steal, steal from the best. Keith Thurman had clearly memorized those words. Danny Garcia returned to the ring after a long absence on Saturday night, beating Jose Benavidez with impressive fashion sense. In the post-fight interview, the boxer known as “Swift” expressed his desire to meet Thurman a second time. The next day, Thurman replied in a way that would put a smile on Muhammad Ali’s face:

“I am so beautiful,” he tweeted. “I was so lucky that DSG could never pass the Keith Thurman test! I hit that boy with astragalus, I wasn’t even at my best. my man IQ is even higher, his legs are as sluggish as a flat tire. This isn’t a game, it’s not Street Fighter—but I’ll hit you with that (fire) yoga. ”

Therefore, it seems Thurman is at least open to the idea of ​​meeting Garcia again in the ring. While no boxer is as involved as he has been, a second fight between the two celebrities is an intriguing possibility for fans. Each is believed to be still relevant enough to be a world champion again (each boxer has held at least one world championship belt throughout his or her career).

“I want a rematch with Keith Thurman,” Garcia told Showtime’s Tom Gray in a tearful post-fight interview on Saturday, where the Philly native admitted to having struggled with anxiety and depression . There is now doubt that the first fight between the two men, which took place in 2017, was a close relationship between the two heavyweights at the top of their respective games. Thurman ended up stepping out of the ring that night at Brooklyn’s Barclay Center with a decisive unanimous victory. Garcia, now 34, is eager to score.

Not long ago there was a time when both Thurman and Garcia could rightfully argue for being the best weight in the business. However, time has made everything clear. Garcia ended up dropping decisions for Thurman, Shawn Porter and eventually Errol Spence Jr while Thurman ended up being surprised by Manny Pacquiao in 2019. However, if you look at the resumes of each, both Both of them have no one beyond the top pile of welding weight. In other words, a rematch between the two in 2022 or early 2023 will not be past the sell-by date.
