    Like I said before, it's tough for Garcia just because there's not a depth of fights to really justify. Morales was way past it and in a weight class he wasn't proven at -- Holt was removed from his best days when he fought Garcia -- and Khan, well... But Matthysse is right there and it's like the Garcia's are trying their hardest to avoid that route.
    Well,Khan was(the book is still out if he still)flawed..The same way Peterson Matt's Garcia Rios etc etc..There really is no stand out right now,which is why WW(WW and Jr)is the best div in boxing..

    But make no mistake Garcia made his name mean something when he beat cry baby Khan..That moment in time was big for him..I don't think Garcia should just be toss to the side like that..

      Shoot, Chavez Jr-Martinez was only because Chavez Jr. wanted it. If it was up to Arum/WBC, they'd never allow it
      Trout is a good fighter but Canelo is going to break him down.

            It was a big win for Garcia because he was seen as very average fighter and was a cherry pick for Khan who was a 6-1 fav after Peterson got busted for steroids

              No, if the judges give the fighter who clearly lost a won, its a robbery

                  I don't know about that,Rios vs Pac and Marquez vs Bradley sound like the bigger fights bro..Might even be the better fights...Tr is on Par GBP..

                      Hahaha, I think that's why I jumped on the Garcia express ha! But I know what you mean. Good point about there being so much parody from '40-'47, definitely the best divisions in boxing.
