If you were GBP, who do you match Ryan with next?

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Another name. Pitbull probably.

Pitbull is a horrible matchup for Ryan I think.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

I like the options you brought up. Teo at 145lbs catchweight would be an interesting match up, and getting to Barrios before Boots does would be a good move too.

I see Teofimo as the biggest fight out there he could potentially win. Both guys have some quality attributes but they both have their flaws too.

Would be a massive fight.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

He should go after title holders first. Matias if he's still able to make 140. Bootsie is the only option at 147.

But GBP has no say in who Garcia fights. In the past yes, but not now and his recent fights. Oscar could not even talk him out of what he wants. And Dela Hoya fought tooth and nail against the stipulations in the Tank fight and Ryan didn't even give a F. Maybe he eventually realized it just recently. So Ryan picks his fights and anyone at GBP can't talk him out of it.

I think Matias would murder Ryan. Surely GBP don’t put their cash cow in with a killer like “No Mas” Matias.

Good point tbf man, I do think Ryan has a lot of sway.

If he can't make 140 anymore then they should match him up with one of their up and comers, either Jose Ramirez or Giovanni Santillan,

I'm pretty sure Santillan is with TR. Maybe Barbosa or Ramirez.

I hate to be cynical, but I think we know what to expect. GBP is going to do the same thing they've been doing with Munguia and Vergil (post-147): careful and calculated matchmaking to keep the gravy train going as long as possible. I think the best we can ask for is Barrios at 147.

This is what I’m thinking.

Pretty much anyone from 135-147 will want a piece of Garcia.

I’d be looking at Teofimo or possibly a weak belt holder at 147 like Barrios.

I’d put him on a low risk high credit/lucrative fight. He just won a tough challenge it’s alright for the next one to be easier to work more on his development. He performed well last sat but obviously there’s still plenty left to improve. I don’t think he’s good enough for tank rematch, or teo or top 3 welterweights.

cruz is also dangerous style for him. His style will work well with the haneys, kambosos or maybe shakur.

I highly agree with this. Tough to look good against a style like that. You gotta be a brawler too, tank is a strong compact dude and cruz was still walking on him.

Yeah, you're right Gio's with Top Rank.

Barboza makes sense since Ryan rejected the Ramirez fight a while back.

[Madison Boxing]

lopez fight would be good... i dont think garcia will be boxing too long they need to make as much money out of him as possible

Yeah Cruz gives him hell IMO.
