Was Ryan Garcia just internet hype ?

I think he's mostly exposed. If you can land your shot clean, there is a good chance he goes down. If you keep your guard up to avoid the left hook, there isn't a whole lot more going on with him. I would never expect him to last in a war of a fight with a big puncher. He looks too soft to handle strong shots coming back his way, whether to the body or to the head. He seems more the kind that will look awesome and love landing his left hook clean to produce a highlight reel KO against subpar competition and then think he's the next best thing that can beat all. Though anytime he steps up again, he will lose.

Garcia had potential, hes young enough that its still there, but if anything he is inconsistent. he was straight up afraid to throw last time. his defense can be weak, he CAN get tagged like Tank showed. I dont think he will ever be as good a boxer as his internet stardom has given him.

What hardcore boxing fans, actually rated him as an elite fighter? None 'So yes, I guess you are right in saying he was manufactured by his social media hype'. But understand this, Ryan Garcia is still a solid fighter 'He has just never been an Elite level fighter. Garcia has only really won one, top level fight against Luke Campbell in the latter part of his career. I will admit, that was a real good win. But if you analyse the action of the fight, you can clearly see even in that performance that skill for skill Luke Campbell was the better boxer. Which is no surprise because Luke Campbell is an Olympic Champion, and overall has a superior professional resume still than Ryan Garcia'. Note: I honestly don't entirely think this is about social media hype 'I believe it is also a American thing. American based fighters are a lot of the times completely overrated, especially their up and coming fighters or prospects. And I think this due to American as a whole and certain cities being considered the corporate capital of the world such as New York City'. Domestic level fights such as David Benavidez vs David Morrell Junior 'Are promoted as bigger more significant fights than they objectively are. Callum Smith vs Joshua Buasti was a higher level fight at 175 pounds'. Ryan Garcia is clearly a solid fighter 'But I will say one thing? Chris Eubank Junior is a more proven and better fighter than Ryan Garcia. But Eubank Junior is the fighter who has received more criticism throughout his career, and had his feats of achievements devalued'. To conclude: I think Ryan Garcia can still comeback from his recent loss, if he still has the desire to achieve in the game 'But I have never at any point in his career, looked at him as a super talented fighter. Skill for skill he has not shown any signs of being an elite level fighter, in his performances or with his work ethic. I would still like to see the rematch between Ryan Garcia vs Devin Haney II, because? It looks like both fighters are for different reasons battling to rediscover their top form. The rematch would be a great fight for both fighters, can Garcia legitimate beat Haney? And can Haney get some get back? The rivalry and dynamic between the two fighters is still very intriguing, it is still a great boxing event' etc. ​

Yup, a golden hype job that the casuals ate up.

I believe Gil Clancy would say "He needs a heart transplant".

No. Someone that is hype doesn't get Campbell and Fortuna out of there like he did. Just because he is not a world champion doesn't mean he isn't a very good boxer. If anything, the hype was detriment. If he didn't have millions of girls following him when he was 18, which in turn gave him million of dollars, he probably would have kept his nose to the grindstone and would be a world champion right now.

If His name was Grobinnskiy and if he was from Ukraine, nobody would know and care who he is and he wouldn`t even make 20 000 per fight. He is just a fake latino instagram attention whore. probably very true actually they would say, huh he beat luke cambell but got dropped, quit against tank on a body shot, caught with peds on his only good win & lost to a clown in one of the worst fights of the decade lol go back to ukraine u fool nobody wants u

hes a belt level contender combined with being an ass hole, a cheater, crazy in the mind and other stuff as well hes got a good left hook and social following which got most got him his pay days it seems

ill tell you exactly what ryan is: a physically talented kid, less than average i.q in and out of the ring. he was raised a superstar and treated as such. hence why his capacity to learn was stunted early. too many adults blew smoke up his ass while simultaneously depending on him to lift them out of their condition. hes un-coachable. unlikeable, unbearable {"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","title":"1509-8-TCWs-Oz.gif","data-attachmentid":32466821} ......

Garcia is too vacuous to be a serious fighter.

Let's be honest now. Ryan without PEDs looks like a model cosplaying a boxer. He just don't got it... He don't got it at all, without that little extra juice he's below average.

Pretty much it, he is undeveloped potential don't know if he will ever really work on technicals and put it all together doesn't look like it now. I dont know if he spars much but do you think sparring more will help him be more comfortable? he has the skills, he's quick with his hands but he only looks good doing that in shadow boxing, etc... in an actual fight, he can't get in his groove. he's so stiff.

He has talent but not the willingness to learn. He's got real power in the left, and elite speed, but he never develops the right, and never improves the huge flaws (flat footed, chin in the air, etc). He's all talent but light on technical skills, and he's mentally weak. That's the biggest thing. No work ethic, no willingness to learn and be better. Not like Artur Beterbiev, for instance, who's always in the gym grinding, knocked everyone out until Bivol, but was still saying that he hoped he'd be a good boxer some day. He doesn't have the champion mentality, and you can have all the talent, but if you don't have the mind and the will to back it up, it can only take you so far. Like Deontay Wilder, he's got one heck of a trick, but unlike Wilder, he didn't manage his career as carefully.

Garcia vs world title winning opposition (not counting secondary/interim titlists): L vs Gervonta Davis KO 7 NC vs Devin Haney 12 (originally a MD win, overtuned after a failed PED test) L vs Rolando Romero UD 12 0-2-0-1 record officially.

he obviously has some skills, he's fast, the hook is crazy, etc.. BUT you put him in the ring against another fighter that punches back, then those skills he has goes out the window.. he's so flat footed. no movements at all.. stand real high and straight. he has skills but he's not a real fighter.

He has elite hand speed but bad instincts and ring awareness which is why he got caught so much even in his wins. He is not dedicated enough to improve so he will take more losses.

He was good and had potential but he definitely seemed to want to be a social media star more than a boxer. As a boxing fan it's gonna be really hard to come back after losing cleanly to rolly fvkcing Romero. But idk how much star power he lost in the eyes of the general public.
