    People have very high expectations these days. I mean Sugar Ray Robinson on 122 occasions fought a guy with 10 or less wins or 10 or more losses. Today we would tear his record apart. The greatest to ever lace them up and it would be brutal. Not every fight is a great fight.

    There's a clear motivation to get the PR fanbase on board. So we should be real about what is going on and move on. His career will no be defined by this fight so why argue about something that won't be remembered? If his next fight isn't a good one there's a problem but one showcase fight isn't something to get worked up over.
    I would have thought that you of all people on this board would not defend a bad fight. Haven't you trashed many fighters recently for facing opponents you deemed not worthy? Why switch gears to defend Garcia of the same thing?

    Here's the problem I have with it. Garcia is the man at junior welterweight. He beat the boogeyman in the division in his last fight, which is his best win. Herrera does not deserve a fight with the man in the division. He's not even ranked in the top ten. It's not like Garcia doesn't have options at 140 either. He has better opponents around his weight class that he can get in the ring with in Puerto Rico. There are many more legacy-defining fights for him, and fights that are consistent with his current trajectory. What does this do for his career? It's disappointing and I get the PR thing, but that doesn't mean he couldn't have gone with a better choice of opponent to face in PR. Frankly, at the end of the day, Garcia probably will have a year (his last fight was in September 2013) in the middle of his career that won't really matter. It doesn't make sense to me unless the point is not to take a risky fight when he has fights with Broner/Mayweather lined up for the future.
