I can understand the feeling of wanting Garcia and Spence to clean out their own divisions first but.... to me this is a case of damned if you do... damned if you don't.
Haven't some of us here in the past raked GGG over the coals for not jumping up to 168 to meet Andre Ward there?
It smacks of double standard to criticize a fight that both guys are willing to make, when they've both shown the willingness to fight all comers.
Still..... it's a legit point. If Spence wipes the floor with Garcia, he'll get less than 100% credit, just because he's the larger guy. But if Garcia beats Spence, it's an automatic light-year leap into p4p stardom.
Meanwhile, I understand there's good fights for both in their respective divisions.
