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

He's a one trick hook pony.

His right hand and jab (what jab?) are lights years away from his hook which is splendid.

[..David..]

Honestly yeah, i dont like him either but he def is great for boxing, even if he losses to devin i hope its a good fight so he can keep promoting boxing for the masses

Actions > Words man. He could’ve sat out and waited for Rolly, instead he’s fighting arguably the #1 guy in the division.

He wouldve looked even more of an @ss than he already is had he waited for Rollie. Haney is #2 rn. Teo is still the man, even with that wack fight last night.

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.

Honestly, Ryan should take the Rolly/Issac Cruz type fights. They're exciting and further builds his name in boxing. He just wants to go straight to the top and unfortunately he's not good enough for them. He should just continue to build up his name against other decently popular fighters and then when the Haney fight comes, it could be that much bigger even though he'll lose anyway.

Jake Paul making money finally made him say '**** it, I can lose and still make money' Previous to Tank that he was ducking EVERYONE, now he just wants to cash out.

I appreciate it & respect it. Same with Devin whos not playing games either like so many others.

I'd prefer guys not fook around building up to the big cashout fight 3 or 4yrs from now. If you are a indie top ten guy & not fighting the best available opponent/another indie top ten level guy idk wtf you are doing with your boxing career. I mean I wouldn't hate marinate a lil bit in fairness but guys are still not picking quality opposition each time out as a high level, often undefeated, guy.

Whatever you, I or anyone else think Ryan can or can't do he should feel he can compete with any other top ten guy & if he doesn't feel like that he should retire today. Theres easier ways for Ryan to make money. Dude was a millionaire before he did anything in pro boxing. His whole play in boxing should be to chase his ceiling & gtfo after he exploits his ceiling for money/legacy or retire if its not high enough to exploit.

I get cashing out while you can. That's an obvious wish for most fighters to be honest and without Ryan's star power, he couldn't demand these type of cash out fights. I guess I miss the old days where fighters worked their way up and earned it. I know Ryan somewhat skips the line because of his star power. My point though is that him having more fights can only help with his experience when he takes on the elite. That is if he truly wants to win. There's one thing believing you can and another that you're lacking the experience/skill to do so.

Sure exp helps but who tf should a top ten guy be fighting if not other top ten guys? Iron sharpens iron. Idk what fighting 2 or 3 guys like the last opp is helping Ryan with.

And sh^t I think we both favor Devin in this fight, but these two have split 6 amateur fights & Devin isn't unbeatable so it wouldn't be the craziest thing if Ryan won.
