Has Garcia been down in his career?
Matthysse and Garcia is an excellent match. I like both over Rios. I know Rios took Alvarado's bombs, but not convinced he can take Matthysse and Garcia's bombs at 140, and with Rios' style, he has to be able to withstand punches because he gets hit a bunch.

I'd like to see these fights--like any boxing fan--but Matthysse is a terrible idea for Rios. Rios, in my opinion, has little or no defense which makes his him a setting duck for Matthysse. The only defense that Rios has is his offense. Rios gets TKOed within four rounds.
Garcia vs Matthysse is a bad move for Garcia at this time, in my opinion. Matthysse is smart, experienced, confident, patient, and a great puncher. Garcia has all these strong points too, but he lacks the experience of Matthysse. Garcia gets TKOed within seven rounds. A better choice for Garcia would be Judah.

This would be a quality fight. Right now though I think Garcia needs more seasoning. While both of these guys are at a peak and on a major momentum role, I think with respects to Garcia it's at different learned levels. I love Morales to death bit I wouldnt put the cart ahead of the horse when labeling Garcia a major leauge puncher just yet. He's improving big time but he doesn't want to get touched by Lucas they way he was touched by Khan and Morales in 1st. He has a nice selection and is well on his way but tomorrow I got Lucas. Both of these guys are what's 'right' with boxing. They've earned it and hopefully down the road they cross paths.

Not seen Mattyesse fight at all but he does get rave reviews from boxing fans. Garcia is a work in progress and is getting better all the time. Rios is a tough fighter but cannot see him beat the other two as he seems he is out of his best weight division.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Matthyse vs Garcia is more intriguing than either facing Rios. A fight with Rios would be great fun (either guy facing him), but with Rios it will become a question of whether LM or Garcia can control distance better than Alvarado and hurt Rios later on in the fight.
Matthyse vs Garcia is interesting because both guys have power. Both guys can box. LM's technique is underrated. Either would be willing to do some infighting. I favor LM, because I think he is a special puncher (a man that drops every freaking guy he faces is special to me). But you could argue for any outcome. Garcia does have enough power to hurt LM. Garcia boxes well enough that he could win a decision. LM has the power to hurt and possibly KO Garcia. LM's underrated boxing ability (when matched with his power) would allow him to box well enough to win a decision (whether or not any judges would give him one is another story).
So I like LM vs Garcia more than either of them fighting Rios because the way the fight goes could vary much more.
