California based trainer Robert Garcia has weighed in on the issue of the vacancy left at the top of the sport by Floyd Mayweather’s retirement, picking Mexican 154 lb star ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and murderous punching middleweight Gennady Golovkin as those best placed to take over “Money’s” mantle as boxing’s biggest star.
Speaking to fighthype.com from his Oxnard training base, Garcia also predicted that his younger brother Mikey could also start troubling the upper echelons of the P4P rankings when he eventually returns to action.
