The once close duo Ryan Garcia and Oscar De La Hoya, are now hostile towards one another. Even though Garcia still fights under the Golden Boy Promotions, the collaboration is a messy affair for both parties involved. Everything went downhill after Gervonta Davis defeated Garcia and the latter found himself without his team at the press conference after his first loss. Though De La Hoya had his reason for not attending the press conference, Garcia still holds him accountable.

However, despite Garcia attempting to call it quits with the promotion, De La Hoya isn’t willing to let the boxing sensation leave. Now, the two are caught in an ugly legal dispute. Garcia hinted at a breach of contract by Golden Boy, the promotion denied it and is holding on to him. In the midst of the drama, an intriguing comment from a fan recently caught the young talent off guard. So what did the fan suggest?

Ryan Garcia reveals a hilarious idea from a fan

Recently, Ryan Garcia shared a hilarious idea from a fan. Garcia revealed that the fan advised him to go one-on-one against the former champion and his promoter Oscar De La Hoya. He wrote, “Somebody told me to fight Oscar de La Hoya on my comments LMFAO”. It appears that Garcia lost it after reading the fans’ comment as his rivalry with De La Hoya continues.

 

The flames of discontent still persisted as Garcia recently fought against Oscar Duarte. Surprisingly, De La Hoya was even banned from his locker room. This led to the promoter going to Duarte’s locker room instead. In the Instagram post, De La Hoya shared his disappointment as he wrote, “I love to stop by and encourage my warriors before they go to battle. I was asked to “stay out” of the other locker room but loved seeing @oscarduartej so calm and focused. Will be an amazing fight tonight!”. So, what do the fans think of the idea of this match-up?

As the post surfaced on social media, it quickly made waves as fans appeared intrigued by the idea of a fight between the two. One fan stated that Garcia stands no chance against a prime De La Hoya. He claimed, “In his prime you wouldn’t have held him for 5 rounds.”

Another fan shared his excitement for the fight, he added, “Would pay twice to watch that. Tell Oscar he’s the B side. 70-30 split for Ryan.”

Meanwhile, one fan asked for an exhibition bout writing, “Do a ‘Friendly’ Exhibition match.”

Someone else proposed an interesting idea for the fight. The fan advised, “lol I been saying it. If you win he gotta release you from your contract”.

However, one fan shared his belief that Garcia would be able to defeat the former champion. He stated, “You would send him to a 2nd retirement”.

A fan pointed out the difference in the achievements of both boxers at a similar age. He also shared his hope for Garcia to “reach the biggest heights in boxing though.”
