The lightweight division is filled with undefeated contenders, and Ryan Garcia is one elite name on that list. Right from his first fight at this landscape, boxing purists have imagined him fighting for the ultimate lightweight throne. A few months back, he was also in contention for the same when he beat Luke Campbell to claim the WBC interim strap.
