That's the thing though, Canelo was well ahead in his career than Garcia is now but his defenders still say he was a "green kid" and the loss doesn't mean anything.
Garcia only has to gain from this personally. Even in a loss his name is gonna be 10x bigger (he loves social media) and if he winds up successful later in his career his supporters will waive off any loss as him being an inexperienced kid who defied expectations or some sort.
His people probably know that, which is why they want the fight. A loss to Gervonta right now would actually be worse for his career/perception than losing to Manny.
