00:00So, we're back with Danny Swift Garcia, Philadelphia's finest.
00:07He's bigger than Rocky, clearly passed him a long time ago.
00:12Everyone used to think that Rocky Balboa ran for Philadelphia, but it's actually Danny Garcia.
00:18And then, stunningly, in another development, Danny's father also superseded Rocky Balboa in fame in Philly.
00:28You and your dad, you passed him a long time ago.
00:31Absolutely. Two legendary people, me and my angel Garcia.
00:34You guys went right past him.
00:36Absolutely.
00:37Like he wasn't even there.
00:38I'm telling you.
00:40Dude, I cannot believe that it has been two years since you fought at the Barclays in no sleep till.
00:48Two years, that's crazy.
00:50I know it doesn't seem like that matters to you, but to me, that's like dog years, bro.
00:57Like dog years, like two years without work.
01:00Yeah, I mean, it felt like the fastest two years of my life.
01:03Really?
01:04You know how sometimes when you're not working, it goes slow?
01:06Yeah.
01:07I felt like the way time is going now is like it waits for no man.
01:12It felt like six months.
01:13Are you serious?
01:14Yeah.
01:15It feels like I just fought like a year ago.
01:18Listen, I think those glasses you got on are so fantastic that I don't even care if you have to worry about cutting weight for tomorrow.
01:26Right, right.
01:27Those Louis's are so nice.
01:28I mean, honestly, like I wouldn't even leave the house if I had those on.
01:31For sure.
01:32My sisters picked these out for me.
01:33I mean, they look clean.
01:35I got to stay up to date, so my sisters, they go out shopping for me.
01:38They're younger than me, so.
01:39I mean, you look good, boy.
01:41I appreciate it.
01:42I mean, to tell you, I haven't seen you in a long time.
01:43You've been on my show 30 years at a lot of your big fights.
01:46What do you think of Lara?
01:50I mean, this guy, that's a great fight Saturday night.
01:53For sure.
01:54To me, that's the co-main.
01:55You got Canelo, and then someone asked me, they were like, where are you going?
01:59Because I do all the fights for 35 years.
02:01They said, what are you doing in Vegas?
02:03I said, I'm going to watch Canelo and Danny Garcia.
02:06For sure, yeah.
02:07That's my thing.
02:08Like, I think those two fights are delicious.
02:10Oh, for sure.
02:11So, you know, mine's a championship fight, middleweight championship fight.
02:13Canelo's super middleweight.
02:14You know, me and Canelo, actually, we fought on the same card in 2013 together when he
02:19fought Mayweather.
02:20So.
02:21I was there.
02:22That's how long, like, me and him been in the game.
02:24Yeah.
02:25You know, so this is just, like, legendary.
02:28He was young.
02:29He was so young.
02:30And I said to him, you were young and dumb then.
02:33If he fought him today, he'd kill him.
02:35I mean, Styles makes fights.
02:36You know, Floyd's a great fighter, though.
02:38But he was inexperienced is what I meant when he was young.
02:40Like, he didn't know what, like, Floyd knew how to win that fight just by walking in the
02:44ring and with his counter and his defense.
02:46Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:47He knew how to avoid Canelo.
02:48Canelo today against him would be a joke.
02:51It would be a better fight.
02:52It would be a better fight.
02:53They were still both prime.
02:54Yeah.
02:55If he fought him a second time, it'd be a great fight.
02:57Yeah, it would be a better fight.
02:58Do you think Canelo would beat him if they fought again, if they were both at the same age?
03:01It depends the weight.
03:02Same, and the weight.
03:03At 168, I think nobody beats Canelo.
03:06Me neither.
03:07But at 154, they did it.
03:09I think Floyd will win it.
03:11Listen, I think he's one of the hardest punchers I've ever seen Canelo.
03:16For sure.
03:17He'll break your ribs.
03:18He's not even a big guy.
03:19He's only, like, 5'8".
03:20But he's so strong.
03:21So brutal.
03:23What are some of your favorite fights that you remember that stand out to you the most in your great career?
03:31In my career?
03:32I've seen a lot of your fights.
03:33What were your favorites?
03:34My favorite is Matisse, of course, when I fought in the undercarriage of Mayweather and Canelo.
03:40When I won the world title against Morales.
03:44Just Zab Judah.
03:46Zab, I was there.
03:48Robert Guerrero when I won the WBC title.
03:50I was there with the Ghost.
03:51I was at that fight.
03:52It may have been the last time I talked to you against the Ghost.
03:55Yeah, even the Keith Thurman fight.
03:57It was a unification fight.
03:58I was at that fight.
03:59That was a great fight.
04:00So many great fights I've been in that I'm proud of.
04:03Win, lose, or draw.
04:04How's your old man doing?
04:06He's crazy.
04:07I like him.
04:08He's nice.
04:09He's fun.
04:10He's around here somewhere.
04:11Is he causing trouble?
04:12Well, not as much as he used to.
04:16Because he did used to cause a lot of trouble.
04:19That's what I liked about him.
04:21He got stoned.
04:22Yeah, they kind of like, they say Andrew got to chill.
04:25But it's great.
04:26Well, that's too bad because boxing needs more of him.
04:29Yeah, exactly.
04:30How about chill nothing?
04:31They thought the complete opposite.
04:33Listen, with MMA and what it's done to damage, in my opinion, boxing.
04:37You have to have personality.
04:39That's what sells the fight.
04:40You got the good guy and you got the bad guy.
04:42I'm telling you.
04:43Now listen, I can't wait to watch you fight.
04:46I'm glad you're doing well.
04:47It's great to see you.
04:48I'm glad you're back in the ring.
04:49I think two years sucks not seeing you fight.
04:51For sure.
04:52I always love watching you fight.
04:54And that's going to be a great fight with Larry.
04:55He's a badass, too.
04:56It bummed me out.
04:57He kept talking about how old he is.
04:58I don't care how old he is.
04:59The guy's a champ and he's a fighter.
05:01And you're going to go toe to toe with him.
05:03That's going to be violent, bro.
05:04I can't wait.
05:05For sure.
05:06It's good to see you.
05:07Good luck with the cut.
05:08Nice to see you, too.
05:09You look fantastic.
05:11All the best to you and your old man and your family in Philly.
05:12I love you.
05:13Yes, sir.
05:14I'm in New York City.
05:15I'm back in the ring again.
05:16I look forward to Saturday night, my man.
