Yea but Matthysse got screwed over in those 2 fights. I dont know how Garcia gets away with fighting weak opposition. For a guy whos considered a top P4P hes fought like 2 very good fighters, Khan and Matthysse, and a decent fighter in Lamont Peterson. Hes fun to watch but looks like his team are terrified of putting him with other top fighters.
I thought the Alexander decision was bad, but Zab banked all of the early rounds against Lucas, that was a fair enough call. I agree about Garcia, and I don't think to many people would call him a top guy right now, but Herrera(who is surely at least decent) and Peterson were both careful not to exchange with him and Matthyse didn't quite have that option is my take.
