So the wbc has ordered the fight, if and only if they get through their upcoming fights.

Like I said, does this mean a Damn thing? Or is this just another sad attempt for them to try to save face again (don't forget they did this with chavez for about a year and a half).

Why is everybody assuming Garcia is afraid of Matthysse? Hes not the be all end all. I think Garcia takes on Matthysse unless Broner moves up after the Rees fight. I think anything other than a Broner fight Garcia would be precieved as a duck. Unless Garcia vs Judah is a fight of the year canidate and some how warrants a rematch.

Help me out here...so Garcia would be considered a ducker if he doesn't take on Broner, but somehow he gets a pass if he doesn't fight Matthysse? I may be reading it wrong though.

I agree that Matthysse isn't the be all end all...the new bedwetting boxing fans made him that. As far as Im concerned, Matthysse will be another one of those dudes that are too dangerous for a big shot, mark my words. There's not much special about him, neither is there anything special about Garcia...difference is, Garcia is marketable.

And to think about it, he got bent on over on the cards, in two of his biggest bouts (Judah and Alexander fights), so that goes to show you that there aren't many plans for him to be this big star in boxing. Look at how they jobbed Marquez in the 3rd Pac fight. Look at how they jobbed Sergio in the first Williams fight.

Matthysse is beatable...problem is, he hasn't shown it yet.

What im saying is Broner is a PPV level fight for Garcia. Theres no other opponent that Garcia can fight other than Matthysse without looking like a duck. The boxing community can live with Broner vs Garcia because Broners on the verge of becoming that crossover star. Anybody else will send the boxing community into a frenzy, due to the lovefest for Matthysse.

garcia/matthysse is more possible than garcia/broner. broner and garcia are haymon fighters. they may fight each other when they run out of paydays...or if one of them appears to be slippin and needs to be cashed out.
