Khan was left with 2 options take the fight or get stripped of his titles. Garcia is not in that position with Matthyse
Garcia will fight his mandatories and has not had an easy run to the top unlike Khan. Right now I would like to see the Matthyse in 2 or 3 fights time but I see no reason why he should be next.

What I don't like is, if Lucas loses his next fight (assuming he has another fight before Garcia), then it gives Garcia a reason to not fight him. It's almost like the mandatory is defending his mandatory status every time he fights. Olusegun is an example of this. He was the mandatory for more than a year, but then lost the opportunity to Matthysse. The same exact thing could happen to Lucas. WBC is not protecting all of their fighters' interests, and if they don't order Garcia to fight Matts after Zab, I'm really going to be pissed.
