Ryan Garcia trained for a while with Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, but after ending their working relationship, they have shown that things did not end well between them and that there is some resentment.
Mexican-American Ryan Garcia is the jewel in Óscar de la Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions at the moment, and since his arrival to the promotion firm, he has been firing some attacks towards Canelo. He started off discreetly, but the boy has gained confidence and the intensity of his words towards who is currently one of the best Mexican boxers is increasing.
This Saturday, July 16, he will step into the ring to face Javier Fortuna, and prior to that fight, Ryan García has been interviewed by several media outlets.
He has criticized Canelo and that has reached Floyd Mayweather’s ears, who has advised Garcia to keep quiet until he has the same achievements as the Jalisco native.
In a recent interview with FightHype, the California fighter was asked about Mayweather’s message, and the young man responded that he will not be silenced.
They need the Avengers (Marvel superheroes) to stop me, they need the Avengers to stop me from talking. It could be Floyd, it could be Canelo, add all the GOATs, they need them all. They can’t stop me.
Ryan Garcia Wants to Fight These Boxers
In the same conversation, he was questioned about which opponents he would like to face in the ring. Although the Californian boxer had previously said he wanted to fight Gervonta David and Devin Haney, the answer he gave on this occasion was a surprise.
My dream opponent, if I had to choose, I would say Canelo Alvarez, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. Those would be the people I would want.
This answer leads us to believe that Garcia is thinking about getting in a fight with the Mexican and that is why he is trying to heat up the atmosphere.
Additionally, in another interview with Inside Fighting, he said he would like to make amends with Canelo.
I’d love to make amends with him and forgive everyone. I believe in forgiveness, and I am the type of person who forgives very quickly. I don’t want that negativity or bad blood with anyone.
On Saturday at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, Garcia will have to win to maintain his undefeated record and prove he can do more than just talk.
