But the question, is Javier Fortuna a household name or not? Majority of us are not aware of this fighter and although he has more fights that Ryan, most likely they are not in the headlines or just in the undercard of another boxing events.
So this is a step up for him, however, as others said, call it whatever we want, cherry pick, GBP protecting Ryan, tune up fights. Because this seems to be what they want for Ryan right now. Not to fight the boxers that can potentially beat him.
Fortuna isn't in shape anymore, he was an active boxer before 2017 and rarely fought after that. The reason why he's not really known is he fight with a bad boxer and not looking to obtain a champion belt. Talking about he's more experienced and better than Garcia is not entirely correct, but you're not wrong too. I've watched Fortuna vs Diaz, it was a close fight and he should have a power to beat Garcia. But as we know Fortuna doesn't have a clean record and not popular, I wouldn't surprised if Fortuna accept to lose to get paid with a huge money.
If there's an official announcement Garcia will fight against Haney or Tank, then I will shut my mouth of talking him cherry pick his opponent.
