    You seem to take issue with Garcia daring to be great. Fighting a last legs Linares would be forgotten.

    Nothing wrong with daring to be great. He knew the risk and took it. Problem is that it was a big miscalculation on Garcia's part to move up to take on Spence and was outmatched. He was clearly much slower at 147 and his power could not help him.

    At least with Linares and Loma those would have been a more interesting, competitive fights.
