In the high-stakes, no-holds-barred world of boxing, it’s often the unseen moves outside the ring that create as much, if not more, spectacle than the punches thrown within it. One such move recently orchestrated a storm on social media. When the legendary Oscar De La Hoya reached out to the Twitterverse to solicit opinions on a seemingly innocuous question, he set the stage for a grand drama. Yet, the plot twist lay not in the question, but in the subject: Ryan Garcia, the young prodigy who, until recently, carried an unblemished record.

Garcia, having tasted defeat for the first time in his professional career, now stands at a crossroads. De La Hoya’s tweet hinted at a surprising revelation – it is not the critics, nor the promoters, but Garcia who would hold the reigns to his future. As the world waits, the decision for Garcia’s next bout, a step towards redemption or further setback, is a secret only he holds. The silence is deafening, and the speculation rife.

Who should Ryan Garcia fight next?: Fans’ take

The tweet from De La Hoya, which set the boxing community abuzz is, “Talked to both Bob Arum and DonKing today, who do you want to see @RyanGarcia fight next?” The reactions from fans were as diverse as they were insightful, highlighting the varying perspectives within the boxing community.

One user who advocates for the autonomy of fighters, opined, “Whichever opponent Ryan decides suits him best. Ryan has the final word.”

A user named Jacob Knight offered a different perspective, suggesting a strategic matchup. “Broner would be a great test for Ryan. Older slower but durable fighter. Teo would beat Ryan right now,” he stated, implying that an older, more experienced fighter could be the right setup for Garcia’s comeback.

A user named Cesar Urquidez then shared a different approach. He voiced, “AB, if he successfully completes that fight, I would then contemplate matching him against Rollies secondly Pitbull in the ring. Pitbull presents a greater challenge as a potential opponent.”

Blanco echoed Urquidez’s sentiment but narrowed down the choice. “Rollie would be a nice fight for him,” Blanco asserted, pointing to Rolando “Rollie” Romero as a suitable competitor.
