On Friday’s episode of ProBox TV’s “Deep Waters,” analyst Chris Algieri answered the question of which weight class Ryan Garcia should campaign in next. “I don’t think it’s whether he should – it’s more of a ‘could’ than should,’” Algieri said. After missing weight by more than three pounds in his April 20 fight with Devin Haney (and having tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs ahead of that bout), Garcia seems unlikely to get back under the junior welterweight limit again. “Ryan has outgrown 135-140,” Algieri said.
Chris Algieri: ‘I Don’t Think We’ll See Ryan Garcia Anywhere Near 140 Again’

When you say 18. Are you referring to a man weighing naturally at least 18 pounds over his fighting weight?
No, im talking IBW at the age if eighteen. If a fighter walks around fit at 160. His fighting weight at a weigh in should be 10 to 15 pounds LIGHTER.

I wouldn't be surprised if Pacquiao beats Barrios we see Pac vs. Garcia next year.
Pacquiao VS Garcia would be box office, but beating Barrios will be no easy task.

Who can he beat at 147 ? Maybe get an e-mail belt but not more.

WE won't see Ryan at 140, he might not even be able to dry out to 154. He might be able to make 160 after his suspension for a year.
Hopefully we won't see him, or any of the other drug cheat's and weight bullies in the future. Boxing is dangerous enough without these cheats braking the rules.
Ryan has proven himself to be a basket case, and is only going on to harm himself, and others, because of his lack of emotional control.:boxing:

“Natural body weight” isn't what you think. Most mens natural weight is at about 18. After that its FAT. Id say for garcias frame and height he's a natural 140 pound fighter. Anything over is giving away size advantage. Hes of course lazy and has bad habits and will never make 140. He will get killed at 160. 147 is the highest he should go.
