    Garcia wins a belt against a completely shot EM. Next, instead of defending it 1 or 2 times to build up his resume and leverage ($$) on any future fights, he decides to cash in... He could have fought Judah or some other fighter at 140 with a name...

    I am surprised his dad and people let him do that...

    Absolutely no doubt Khan is going to win...

    when people win belts, or in general fight vs **** opponents, you hear people ***** that theyre fighting bums. it's good in my opinion.

    I dont mind this at all, the kid is challenging himself

    so what he loses he bounces back, old greats lost their 0's and came right back

    he is young and this fight will give him a wealth of knowledge

    Khan looked like **** in his last fight and the blue print is there

    Garcia is a fill in and could catch Khan overtrained after having Petersen withdrawn

    I suppose they weighed it up - they got the chance to fight Khan, who is coming off a defeat where he showed huge gaps in his game, has been in the gym since February and was preparing for a different opponent. They probably think it's a fight he has a decent chance of winning.

    Its not a right or wrong, its just a simple observation on the paradigm of boxing. Sadly, its more of a business than a sport lately...

    Wait... So now you want the guy to face lesser comp???
    (I don't get it)

    Khan is the guy to beat @ 140lbs.
    He got the opportunity, he took it.

    If he comes up short... Pick up and start again.
    (He is not going to die)

    No, your logic is everything that is wrong with boxing. Why would you want him to defend his belt 1-2 times in easy defenses. Why not fight the best right off the belt win??? .

    BOXING FANS DO NOT NEED TO CONCERN THEMSELVES WITH THE MONEY ASPECTS OF BOXING. BUSINESS IS KILLING BOXING AND THERE ARE IDIOTS THAT SUPPORT THE "BOXING IS A BUSINESS" ASPECT OF BOXING.

    YOU SHOULD BE DEMANDING BIG AND GOOD FIGTHS, NOT QUESTIONING WHY A FIGHTER IS TAKING ON A GOOD DEFENSE.

    Take steroids to increase your testosterone level to that of a bull, just so you can get the **** kicked out of you to win 3-4 rounds? :huh

    :deal Completely agree, Garcia is doing the right thing, he has a belt, once a fighter wins a belt there should be NO coddling.
