How am I hypocritical? I haven't said whether I like Garcia or not. This thread was fuck all to do with Garcia. The only hypocrisy on this thread has come from you if you read back, and when I pointed it out, you never answered that part.
Of all the opponents KHAN mentioned, Algieri is the least acceptable, nobody can argue against that. Whether Khan is ranked 3rd in the division or 7th/8th, the only way you climb and improve is by fighting people above you or at least on your level while others slip. You don't improve by fighting somebody leagues lower. It achieves nothing.
After Garcia beat Khan, he went on to beat Matthysse and virtually unify the division. What did Khan do? Oh yeah, he fought an unranked lightweight, followed by a career lightweight who was a bit long in the tooth, and he still manged to put Khan on his ass!
Got a gift against Herrera, fought a career lightweight bum and now a catchweight. Not exactly brilliant. Opponent v opponent Khans last 3 fights have been far better than Garcias in my opinion. Devon already beat Matthysse, Diaz whoops Salka and Collazo whoops Herrera.
