http://behindthegloves.com/angel-garcia-says-son-danny-not-looking-at-khan-looking-for-new-names/  Angel Garcia, trainer and father to Danny Garcia, has ruled out a rematch with Amir Khan.

Garcia defeated the Brit in July 2012 with a 4th round stoppage, rocking Khan with a left hook to the neck that scrambled his senses in the 3rd round, eventually leaving Khan in a struggle to regain his legs thereafter.

While surviving that round, Khan was knocked down twice, with referee Kenny Bayliss stopping the fight after the second knockout with Khan very slow to respond to his call.

Three years on, both men find each other in the welterweight division with the pair under the advisory services of Al Haymon. Khan has called for the rematch on various occasions although it seems Team Garcia want to look at different avenues.

Speaking to FightHub after the official press conference for Danny Garcia vs Robert Guerrero, Angel Garcia said: “The thing is I can’t see that. For what? The money? Danny is ok right now. If we was like hungry, I’m not saying we’re better than nobody but we’re past that. That’s over man, we’re looking for new names.”

While Khan is currently one of the names in the running for a showdown with Manny Pacquiao, he has previously stated his intention in avenging his losses to Danny Garcia and Lamont Peterson.

Speaking to MMA Hour in August, Khan said: “My best scenario is to leave it to Al Haymon. I’ve said to him I want to fight the best names in boxing. It could be Thurman, the Garcia rematch, the Peterson rematch.

“A lot of fighters say they’ll fight anyone, but when it comes down to it, they never want to sign the contract. I think I’m probably one of the only fighters out there who’ll fight anyone in front of me. I’ll just leave it to Al Haymon.”

With Danny Garcia fighting Robert Guerrero on January 23, Khan is still searching for an opponent. With the options of a possible bout with Pacquiao or a big summer showdown with IBF champion Kell Brook, a rematch with Danny Garcia could be a long time away.

Garcia has fought once in the welterweight division since making his move up from the 140lbs ranks, beating Paulie Malignaggi via a 9th round stoppage in August. He fought Lamont Peterson prior to that at a catchweight of 143lbs.

Nonetheless, a fight between Khan and Garcia would be a fight that many fight fans would like to see, with both men bringing an exciting style to the squared circle.
