For Robert Guerrero, this was his third shot at a Welterweight and after a great career and multiple champions;  it is time for Guerrero to decide his own fate. The Ghost is now at the point of his career that he is no longer an elite fighter capable of beating the best in the division. He is still a good fighter and had a great career but after losses to Mayweather, Thurman and now Garcia, what is there left for him.

As for Garcia, this is his second title after dominating the junior welterweight division.  He is a solid boxer and has power to compete with other welterweights.  So now for the next year;  these welterweight champions: Brook, Khan, Garcia, Porter, and Bradley begin the journey to see who will replace Floyd Mayweather as the king of the welterweights.
