That win was a fluke. Matthysse was and has always been the better fighter, as shown by him beating Garcia before the eye injury, as shown by their performances against similar level opposition like Peterson where Garcia struggled, and Matthysse dominated, or Provodnikov where Matthysse kicked ass but Garcia struggled with Herrera who fought Provo even.
As for Matthysse never being the same, yeah his eye has never been the same. He was also willing to fight Postol when Garcia wasn't, and again was winning easily before his eye went.
What we had 5 years ago was like 15 hype jobs, to various extents, come on the scene. Broner. Garcia. Alexander. Khan. When you start with that many, it's just statistical probability that one or two will make it awhile without catching an official 0, especially with the competition Haymon feeds them. It's not hate for Danny, it's just recognition that he is the one statistical anomaly, and there was bound to be at least one, who got lucky and never got an official loss. That's because Haymon's matchmaking strategy is based around working up to only one single difficult fight for his guy. So everything worked up to Garcia-Matthysse, and that was when Garcia would have gotten exposed, except he laced Matthysse's eye, allowing him to get past that one test. And ever since then he's never gotten another real test, so what do you expect?
Now finally he might get his second actual good opponent, Thurman, and just like Matthysse, he will lose easily unless he gets lucky.
So that's all it is. Boxing fans just want reality to set in. Garcia is overrated and his dad seems to know it which is why they keep ducking top fighters. Boxing fans just want to see happen what they already know is reality, and have overrated fighters like Garcia stop being touted as top guys.

Thurman will win by UD......He is the bigger puncher,faster and mobile.Garcia is a very durable fighter with good chin and that will let the fight travel the full 12 rounds...I see a split decision in favor of Keith Thurman.

Garcia is obviously bothered by what the fans think!
I think it's why he signed on for the Thurman fight early next year!!
I trust Danny's survival skills and his ability to bring it when he's the underdog!! More experienced and I think he times Thurman to the body!
Garcia by close decision

Actually, Spence is the one who can fly... Can't wait to see him in a real fight! Then we will know if he's the real deal. But if Spence has balls... he's going to be a sort of Crawford; unbeatable.
