Garcia and Davis have been gravitating towards one another on the forecast as a Category 5, but it might dissipate into a gust of hot air. The aforementioned Crawford and Spence super fight only came to fruition after the former separated from Top Rank. Davis is still repped by Premier Boxing Champions, who are known to keep the boxers in their stable out of reach from upper echelon fighters who can put a dent in their records. The 5-foot-5 Davis is already giving up five inches to the towering Garcia and three inches in reach. Of all the lightweight sharks, Garcia has the second-highest knockout ratio to Davis and even that statistic undervalues Garcia’s power. The designated weight is bound to be a point of contention in the negotiations. Garcia’s vow to fight Davis became the headline, but there’s one caveat in the fine print of his post-match harangue that could thrust this fight into development hell.
With Ryan Garcia's win over Javier Fortuna, we look at the possible options for his next fight.
Would ‘The Dream’ be as keen if the title was in the possession of Garcia? Hughes and his manager, Andrew ‘Stefy’ Bull, have publicly called for the fight. For all his offensive prowess, Linares is defensively vulnerable and it is that fragility, combined with the Venezuelan’s accomplishments which could make him an attractive option to Garcia’s team. This one is unlikely to be next, but money talks, and there would be an awful lot generated by a bout between two of the most exciting young fighters in the world. Garcia is either an optimist who believes that promoters, broadcasters and weight classes should not be prohibitive to the best fighting each other, or someone who wants credit for demanding the bouts fans want to see, knowing there is little to no chance of them happening. Both men are signed to Golden Boy Promotions, so the bout could be easily made. Perhaps, Garcia has entered the stage of his career where he can make up his own weight classes as Canelo Alvarez did at various points. A clash between Garcia and Lopez has similar obstacles to overcome as the Davis fight, just replace PBC with Top Rank, and Showtime with ESPN. However, the bout is not straight forward to make. That has always happened between rival television stations, it remains to be seen whether such an agreement could be reached with a streaming platform like DAZN. On this showing, he appeared to be the former, rather than the latter. It will take greater tests that this to assess just how high the 23-year-old’s ceiling is. Still, you can only beat what is in front of you, and Garcia certainly looked the part in doing so.
LOS ANGELES – Like virtually every boxing fan, Ryan Garcia has wanted to see Terence Crawford fight Errol Spence Jr. for quite some time.

In that moment, he was already thinking of how to maximize the visibility of what he’d just accomplished. This time the microphone was in his hand and the camera would be in his control, how he’s best equipped. He explicitly called out Gervonta Davis, albeit for a fight at 140 pounds, following his win over Fortuna. Davis for his part seemed to respond in the affirmative on Twitter, tweeting “see y’all at the end of the year” shortly after the fight. Fans might see the twenty second clips of Garcia hitting a cobra bag and think his training is limited to what will look cool on Instagram, but Goossen, one of the sport’s most respected trainers, offered tremendous praise for his fighter unprompted at the post-fight press conference on Saturday. In other words, Garcia’s detractors paint him to be a foolish airhead pretty boy who is a construct of the boxing promotional machine. In the fourth round, Fortuna thought he was safely out of range when Garcia feinted him upstairs with a right hand to bring his hands up and then jumped in with a left hook to the body, the same shot that finished Luke Campbell in their 2021 bout. In addition, his openness about mental health is often scoffed at by a vocal sect of fans who believe such discussion to be a sign of weakness, a liberal buzzword or a hoax entirely. Garcia is the latest in a line of matinee idols that have passed through boxing, fighters whose popularity and fame either extend beyond or mainly exist outside of the traditional boxing fanbase, and expressly utilize their good looks in their marketing. In the fifth round, a right hand landed on Fortuna’s forehead that produced a delayed reaction and a second knockdown. But Garcia was too big, too fast, and too long for Fortuna to stay out of danger for any amount of time. People have varying opinions about Ryan Garcia as a fighter and as a person, but one thing everyone can agree on is that he knows how to work a camera. At 5’10” he was going to tower over Fortuna no matter what, but without having to fully dry out to make 135, he looked monstrous in comparison to the diminutive Fortuna whose professional peak was at 130.
