Muhammed Ali fought Joe Frazier three times. He fought Ken Norton two times. Sugar Ray Leonard fought an immediate rematch with Roberto Duran after Duran beat him. Shane Mosley fought immediate rematches with Vernon Forest and Winky Wright after they beat him. He fought a rematch with Fernando Vargas after a close fight (even though Mosley KO'd him the first time). Evander Holyfield fought Rid**** Bowe three times and Mike Tyson twice. Manny Pacquaio fought Eric Morales twice and JMM four times. Floyd Mayweather fought an immediate rematch with Jose Luis Castille after a close, controversial fight. He is fighting a rematch with Marcos Maidana after a competitive fight.
Do you guys see the point?
The great ones fight rematches with their best opponents. They don't dodge them or move on to fight weaker competition. Garcia should have fought a rematch with Matthysse after a close, competitive fight. Instead, he chose to fight a lesser quality fighter in Herrera. He beat Herrera in a controversial fight and should have fought an immediate rematch to prove that he is better than Herrera. Instead, he chose to fight a guy who was ranked 77th in the world in a lower weight division.
Garcia doesn't deserve to be ranked among the top P4P fighter of today and he deserves all the criticism he is getting as his next fight will probably be against another weak opponent who is not even as good as Herrera.
