Garcia has yet to fight 147 and that's where he is headed. Unless he can bring some more lightweights along to beat up I'm not convinced he'll have an easy go of it either. He has some rebuilding to do and while the Matthysse was very solid this is a "what have you done lately sport"...and he hasn't exactly been stellar. Last nights Floyd would very much embarrass him skill wise I believe. Guys like Thurman are still in a flavor of the month kind of running. The network is pushing them like crazy, and for what he lacks in refined skill and achievement Thurman is the type who 'jumps off the screen', he is very charismatic and almost comes off like a freekin professional wrestler in interviews with the speaking in 3rd person. Kid has flair but should not fool himself into thinking that qualifies as substance. The walk to the ring is littered and cluttered with the shells and shadows of ones who were supposed to be "the next".
