1. He beat Matthysse. Matthysse had enough hype to turn people against Garcia after that.
2. He's had 2 fights since that not a small amount of people think he lost. Nothing turns fans against boxers like gifts/robberies.
As one of the biggest Matthysse fan boys around I disagree with point 1. After Garcia beat Lucas I had a newfound respect for him and he was on his way to stardom. But the controversial decisions v Herrera and Peterson which I thought he lost and picking a guy in a lower division ranked 77 is what turned people against himx
People still mad he whooped khan! Lmao! The fight went 4rds haha. He dropped him in the 3rd punished him through the whole rd & dsg pounded him the entire 4th!!! Easy win.. All the punches khan threw were missing & super sloppy next to his lame excuses "i over trained!" gtfoh!!!! Khan is a *****..

There are a lot of irrational, immature people who react differently when fighters they like lose. NSB doesn't represent the entire boxing fanbase, obviously, but with more niche fighters like Matthysse, it's a decent representation. People really hate Garcia because of that fight.
And Khan. Damn, I forgot Khan. That is definitely the driving force behind a LOT of the Garcia hate.
