Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Wants Ryan Garcia in World Title Fight By Year's End

[Get em up]

I'm becoming a believer in Garcia. The kid is a gym rat and definitely puts in a lot of work. I actually think he could beat Tank now. I didn't before but Tank doesn't give me the impression that he's a gym rat. And the way he came in overweight again and gassed in his last fight shows me he depends solely on his power. I think he needs a new trainer. If they fought today, I think Garcia would frustrate him and win UD.

I'm not totally against your assessment and I'm a Tank fan I wish he had the work ethics of young Garcia. It could be the fight of the year if Tank actually worked and trained right I've just not seen that out of him. Garcia is a very capable up and comer. I'd like to see him against the Fortuna, Campbell winner myself.

I don't really care about rushing him to face top fighters but I would definitely like to see four fights of his. I think he is really great and natural, and always super fit.

Hmmm.. I think DLH and his team have a lot more lateral movement matching to do with this guy. To me he hasn’t shown what it takes to be at the top: defense, speed and power are not quite there.

I agree with first staement. His speed is better than those other guys , however he needs more time with the Reynosos. Just being around them and Canelo will help him down the road. No need to rush.

No one is putting him in the ring with "top fighters" that's why they are mentioning tank davis.

Man Ryan will retire that chubby muthafuucker.

Lmao! No way!

Yeah, I can see it.

Tank drops the WBA regular belt and goes back to 130, and Garcia fights someone for the vacant belt.

It's like they got no eyeballs. When somebody shows you who they are, believe them. Tank is a short fat 135. A part time gym, full time fatburger rat. Ryan is a big lightweight and hasn't looked bad, even if he does try to look pretty when he can't get the KO. He takes it serious, as you can see.
