Without question, they're grooming him. He has the look to attract the casual fans and, being a Puerto Rican from Philly, can capture the urban market.
But can he hold up his end of the deal?
I do think Garcia is underrated on these boards. He's a pound for pounder (or should be at least) and while everyone harps on the Herrera controversy, they overlook that fights like that one can only make him better. More than Khan, Maidana or any welter not named Pacquiao, he deserves a shot at Mayweather. He's earned the big names and he'll get good fights in 2015. We'll see what he does with it.
