Ryan Garcia Didn’t Hesitate To Name The Best Boxer Of This Century
Former WBC interim lightweight titleholder Ryan Garcia has expressed who he considers to be the top fighter of this century. The 27-year-old from California is preparing for his comeback to the ring in early 2026, with indications that he might face WBC world welterweight champion Mario Barrios next. Garcia has been inactive since he experienced an unexpected loss to compatriot Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero at Times Square in New York City on May 2, falling short in his bid for the WBA Regular welterweight title. During his appearance on the Inside The Ring Show, Garcia spoke highly of the former pound-for-pound legend Floyd Mayweather, whom he regards as potentially the ‘greatest of all time’. “When you analyze it from a technical perspective, as a boxer, you have to choose Floyd. He possesses everything. Whether inside or outside the ring, he can become tough when needed and has an extensive repertoire, you know what I mean?” Mayweather continues to be one of the rare extraordinary champions in boxing history to retire undefeated. The Michigan-native garnered several world titles across five weight divisions throughout his career, achieving numerous legacy-defining victories over notable fighters such as Oscar De La Hoya, Canelo Alvarez, and Manny Pacquiao. ‘Money’ concluded his illustrious professional boxing journey in 2017, mere months after he defeated MMA fighter Conor McGregor in the 10th round of their historic crossover event in Las Vegas.
