I can’t stand Ryan Garcia but I have to admit, he’s great for boxing.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

The kid’s delusional as hell but he clearly wants to make the best fights happen. He was the driving factor in making the Tank super fight happen and I believe he’s pushed for this Haney fight too.

The kid brings a huge audience also, he could easily be way more selective with his opposition.

Disagree. He's simply a high profile opportunist stepping in where more credible fights should happen. He's a sign that boxing is failing.

I'm hoping Haney pulls a Floyd v Corrales on the guy.

hes fantastic, the best thing about him actually is that he makes for a great opponent because hes pretty hopeless in the ring & he has fans who pay for his fights, for now anyway

Nah, he wanted to fight Rollie instead of Haney. Now that it backfired he comes back to Haney. Kid is a clown and hope Haney beats the breaks off this crybaby

Haney fight is a bad fight for him. It'll only further make him look bad. I would have given him a better shot at Tank, but not Haney. If Tank was the dude who took the fight out of Ryan, Haney will be the one that outboxes him to the point where he's got no real good opponent left that he can probably beat at the highest level. If he continues, he'll probably stick with B fighters at best and feed off them.

He got paid 30 million dollars to fight Tank and will no doubt make a boat load of money here too. I think Ryan is judged way too harshly but idk what we're trying to praise him for in this instance.

Best thing you ever said so far.

[Teetotaler69]

More like he's just fighting whoever gives him the most money before going back to Instagram. He quit against stank and he'll quit against hankey. At best he'll lose a boring decision and him and his ****** fangirls can just say hankey ran all night

Agree. Ryan was a successful amateur. Hes been a very solid pro. Hes great at social media enhancing his casual base. And hardcore boxing fans can be hipster snobs like the music fan who "discover" an artist & then start hating them when they become popular.

So I get why fans dislike Ryan, hes gotten where hes at "too easy" to some ppl, but at the end of the day he was a intelligent outlier with building his brand & image, like more boxers should be doing to up their Q score, & he still gots to win the fights to get anywhere in boxing & outside of Tank he has.

Agree Devin isn't a great matchup for Ryan. That said among the big fight options he's probably the best fight despite that. That Rolly fight was imo the best option but idk if thats realllllllly a big fight. I'd for sure favor Ryan over Rolly tho. I don't favor him over Devin.

I suspect Ryan is gone well before 30yrs. Hes got a short attention span & has done about 8 different things already with some degree of dedication (boxer, actor, social media creator, model, poker player, etc) so I think once his ceiling in the game starts getting clearly lower than he sees it rn he'll start on another path I'd bet.

Tyson Fury will probably box til hes 40. Tank, Teo & Shakur will probably be around til 33-35+. I don't think Ryan will be boxing at 30 even if he starts winning these big fights.
