Who do you want Ryan Garcia to fight?
Ryan Garcia doesn’t shy away from calling out top contenders. His boldness extends to challenging the likes of Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson, setting the stage for potential high-profile bouts. This backdrop has fuelled Oscar De La Hoya’s Twitter poll, which swiftly became a battleground of fan opinions.
Firstly, one fan cautions against rushing Garcia into a fight with Haney. He suggests that Garcia isn’t quite ready for such elite opponents, proposing two tune-up fights for better preparation.
DO NOT put him in there with Haney, teach him an inside game first. He’s not ready for either fighter tbh…
Get him 2 more tune up fights if you want him to be successful.
Or feed him to the wolves 🤷🏼♂️

Another fan, elevates Haney, considering him beyond Garcia’s current reach. Instead, he nudges toward Shakur Stevenson, presenting an opportunity for Stevenson to rebound from his last performance.
Haney is above a Ryan fight. Let Shakur avenge his last performance.
— Max Calendrillo (@MIGHTYMaxBOXING) December 12, 2023
Contrasting these views, one user advises a slower career progression for Garcia. The fan reflects on Garcia’s past match with Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis as a learning curve.
None… he needs more fights to continue gaining experience.
He should've never fought tank.
Lesson learned.. do right by him by making him the best at a right pace.

Another fan’s reaction implies skepticism about De La Hoya’s intentions with the poll, hinting at a belief that it could lead Garcia towards another loss rather than a career-building opportunity.
Youre just gonna set him up to lose again?

Finally, one fan firmly believes Rolando Romero is the ideal next opponent for Garcia. This suggestion aligns with the excitement and challenge a fight with Romero could bring, viewed as a strategic move for Garcia’s career progression.
Neither yet. Hands down Rolly would be the best decision for him next!

Each fan response, varied in its perspective, highlights the intricacies of plotting a fighter’s path in the competitive boxing landscape. Now let’s see what Ryan Garcia has planned in his mind.
Garcia contemplates Haney before Romero
Ryan Garcia appears to be leaning towards a monumental clash with Devin Haney in 2024. This potential matchup gains traction as Garcia himself confirms, “One thing is certain in my eyes is that Haney and I will fight in 2024.” Interestingly, this aligns with his promoter’s views, despite their past disagreements. Garcia even considers facing Haney before taking on Rolando “Rolly” Romero, a decision that could reshape his career trajectory.
Following Haney’s victory over Prograis, the stage seems set for this high-stakes battle. The anticipation has been built, and now the boxing community eagerly awaits Haney’s response, speculating on the outcome of what promises to be a riveting encounter between two of the sport’s most dynamic fighters.
