I don't think his win against Peterson was amazing but it wasn't particularly controversial to need a rematch IMO.
I do agree Peterson could have won if he did more, but he didn't. So I don't think Garcia owes anyone a rematch because their opponent didn't capitalize when they had their chance.
I appreciate your classy response BTW. Why people on here talk to strangers they never met rudely just because they disagree about an aspect of a sport is beyond me.

The Peterson fight is definitely unfinished business in my eyes. Whilst wins against Matthysse, Khan and Judah made him #1 at 140, I only advocate moving up when you have truly cleaned up the division or if you are killing yourself to make weight. That means taking care of the contenders that emerge whilst you are top of the tree.
Crawford and Provodnikov would be bouts that if taken would further cement Garcia as the true #1 light welterweight.
Swear once Mayweather is gone a ton of these fighters will have been chasing a shadow by moving up to 147.
