Ryan Garcia opens up about his legendary mentor

Recently, the streets of Las Vegas witnessed an intriguing sight – Ryan Garcia, running alongside the legendary Floyd Mayweather. This unusual pairing, spotted in the city known for its glitz and glamour, sparked a flurry of speculation. Amidst this backdrop, Garcia took to Twitter to clarify the nature of their relationship, painting a vivid picture of his bond with Mayweather.

Garcia’s first tweet was direct and heartfelt: “Floyd is mentoring me, And I love and respect him, he is so authentic so stop judging him. Judging a book by its cover will stop you from reading but Derrick James is my coach, and I love him too.”

These words, coming from a fighter who recently faced his first professional defeat, underscore a profound respect for Mayweather’s guidance, while reaffirming his commitment to his current coach, Derrick James.

Stop playing with Mayweather

Continuing his candid disclosure, Garcia tweeted again, providing further insight into his relationship with Mayweather: “Old pic and I was a bit out of shape and slightly overweight lol but I want to say this about @floydmayweather you guys don’t know him and most of you will never. But he is authentic, has a good heart, and extremely generous. Stop playing with him; he will always win. HES 50-0 and he’s almost half a 100 lmao but Love him and I respect him so put respect on his name. He may be money Mayweather but he really tries to be as authentic as possible.”

These statements, brimming with admiration and a call for a deeper understanding of Mayweather’s character, mark a significant moment. They reveal a side of Mayweather that often remains overshadowed by his ‘Money’ persona, suggesting a depth and authenticity not always visible to the public eye.

As Garcia navigates his career trajectory, his embrace of Mayweather’s mentorship signifies a pivotal step in his journey, potentially steering him towards a future rich with promise and guided by one of boxing’s most iconic figures.
