Speaking on Hotboxin with Mike Tyson on YouTube, Garcia gave his message to the Baltimore born fighter. “Tank, imma say it in front of Mike and Jeremy. If you do not take this fight, your legacy is forever tainted.
“Nobody, I mean nobody, will ever remember your name. Nobody.”
He then admitted that Davis may have made more money than him, but pointed out that it counts for nothing. Thus, he is openly calling out Davis and his team.

Floyd Mayweather, who manages ‘Tank’, has spoken about creating a legacy. However, Mayweather is someone who gets a lot of criticism for fighting opponents when they were past their peak.
