Honestly, I get why people say Garcia's more flash than substance, but I think it's unfair to write him off entirely. He may not have the résumé of Taylor or Prograis, but he did take on Luke Campbell and got the job done—which was no small feat. Yes, he got humbled by Tank, but there’s no shame in that.
The sport's evolving, whether we like it or not. Boxers with huge social media pull ARE bringing eyeballs to the sport. If Garcia fights Romero next, it might not be the purist's dream, but it'll pack the house. And if he avoids Taylor and Prograis? Well, then it’s clear he’s prioritizing marketability over legacy.
