I agree, Spence has more interesting options against the guys of his cathegory. While Garcia can take the 3rd belt in his weight and then fight Loma for the undisputed championship.

Spence has belts to pursue at 147.

Garcia should go after Loma.

Assuming he does want the fight, I guess he either believes he can win or just wants a big money fight. Garcia could fight Spence, it would be a career high pay day I'd assume, then go back to 135 or 140. No harm done if he was to lose. He's the naturally smaller guy and everybody would expect him to lose. The 135 big money fight would still be there with Loma, while if he lost to Loma, the big money fight with Spence at 147 wouldn't be there any longer.

In reality Loma at 135 makes more sense. So would a Pacman fight at 140. Fight Jessie Vargas at 147 to get acclimated to the weight.

He has a much bigger profile right now than Spence. Non-boxing fans have no idea who he is.
