Since then he's looked much shittier against much shittier opposition. Who knows why, it's very strange. Maybe he's one of those guys who fights to the level of his opposition, and needs to be in there with a world beater like Khan or Matthysse to really rise to the occasion.
I think it's just the styles man. Garcia is a solid boxer with a big punch and a great chin, but not a great boxer. I wouldn't say it was a masterful performance against Mattyhsse as like you say he did take a lot of big shots. Mattyhsse went to war against John Molina right after that fight, then Molina got schooled by Broner and couldn't land much, just for another example. MAaaaybe, Mattyhsse gets a bit overrated as a boxer in all of this?
