NOOO!, he’s small? LOL. Kinda thought that this was a secret. He’s just old and fighting above his NATURAL weight class. He needs to retire now. I think now even boxers with no big name can give him problems as long as their big & fast.

What a revelation from the genius that is Ryan Garcia.

[crimsonfalcon07]

He's been fighting above his natural weight class for most of his career, and he just came back from fighting a war. He's going to have a much tougher test with Haney, but people acting like they've never heard of ring rust, just like they said he was washed up after losing to Lopez, even though he basically gifted Lopez 7 rounds by coming in injured and barely throwing a jab for most of the fight.

People need to give Jamaine Ortiz more respect too. I bet Garcia won't fight him either. He's going to keep using Tank as an excuse to duck Ortiz, Pitbull, and especially all the big names. He's looking more and more like a lightweight Jake Paul, IMO.

I think it's prefire for the potential of Loma losing to Haney. When Haney got in the ring after Loma's win he looked huge in comparison and even Loma said it. The boxing world at large saw that footage. This is a well-played pre-emptive move from Ryan to be able to say he called it and detract from Haney.

He's a former unified champion in the division ffs.

Garcia isn't the most liked guy in boxing but he does have a valet point on this one, Lomachenko has struggled since moving to lightweight and it was before the war in his native country. Let's just look at where he came from featherweight, now how many can you name that has went to Lightweight and been sucessful, yes it's done in other divisions but name a featherweight that's went up 3 divisions and had great success! Only the great Alexis Arguello comes to mind from featherweight.

Garcia doesn't have enough credibility to speak on Loma's ability in the lightweight division based on his size. Loma is a former undisputed champion who has been off fighting a war for his country. Boxing isn't always about size but more about ability. There are obviously weight divisions for a reason but 5 lbs isn't a big difference in the fight. Loma is at the level of Mayweather, Leonard, Whitaker, Arguello and other greats in terms of boxing ability. at 34, Loma is still young enough to get himself in great shape and beat Haney. Whether he can do it is a different story.

Garcia needs to shut up, fight contenders and work his way up to the top by boxing and not talking or having millions of YouTube followers and wait his place in line.

just a small correction, there is no proof that either Usyk or
Loma were fighting in Ukriane. They sure joined territorial defenses, which might include some patrolling or guard duties. But there were never fights in Akerman. Kyiv had some fighting early weeks of invasion, but after that it is mostly long range missiles and drones attacks.

Obviously it is mentally draining to stay in Ukraine under constant airstrike alarms carrying for important people around, though i think it is important to give credits to people who fighting in trenches daytoday to protect their country.
