Remember when Oscar claimed that, if he was younger and still active, he could have beaten any fighter of his division in this era, aside from the great Saul Alvarez?
I was such a big fan of Oscar back in the day, but for the life of me, I don't know why he brings such ridicule upon himself. Dude is just incapable of of keeping his trap shut.
It's a mix of pure jealousy and the fact he's kinda drug fkd now, but if he carries on with this rhetoric its just tarnishing his legacy even further
Oscar and JCC Sr. probably did coke together back in the days, so he thinks they're real tight! Let's ask JCC Sr. what he thinks about men who wear fishnet body stockings and high heel shoes?
I love Oscar as one of my favourite fighters ever, exciting box office great.
But c'mon, Canelo is the new great Mexican fighter, and pound for pound the best in the world today.
The other outstanding fighters today, Crawford, who has he beat, Loma, great but did lose a couple, Inoue, great but light weight division and is in need of greater competition.
Now, Mayweather Promotions’ Leonard Ellerbe, who represents Davis, said they had real talks with Golden Boy a few months back about doing a fight with Garcia.
As for Garcia, he still says it’s “the only fight” he wants:
Garcia, 22, recently withdrew from a planned July 9 fight with Javier Fortuna to deal with mental health issues, but says he’s looking to come back soon, and Golden Boy have indicated the same intent. We may hear something before then, but a wise bet might be to have them announce something for Garcia at their July 9 show in Los Angeles, which will air on DAZN.
It also has to be said that Garcia and Golden Boy have very publicly not always been on the same page, so Golden Boy’s plans for Garcia may not match what he really wants to do. That’s not a “for sure” thing, but it’s possible given the history between the two sides, which was most recently patched up with a new deal last year.
But a lot could change by the end of this year, too. Golden Boy may be leaving DAZN — that’s not official, but it’s been explored — which could result in a lot of different ideas getting traction that we might not see as likely right now.
Ultimately, at the moment this remains no more than talk, but it’s at least a stated interest for what could be a really interesting fight between two of the sport’s most talented, popular young fighters, and it’s hard to imagine it not being a good fight, too.
