Ryan Garcia says he would give Terence Crawford the “greatest payday of his life” if he agrees to combat him. The not too long ago turned 37-year-old Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) most likely received’t take him up on his provide as a result of he’s fixated on touchdown a mega-fight towards Canelo Alvarez earlier than retiring, and that doesn’t seem like it’s going to occur.

If Ryan had been critical about eager to combat Crawford, it could be loopy for him to show down the combat. He’s not going to get the Canelo combat in one million years, and there may be no person at 147, 154, 160, or 168 that may present the payday that Ryan would.
Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs) might need been pulling Crawford’s chin by telling the followers that he’d wish to combat him as a result of he’s presently not within the place to combat anyone. On social media immediately, Ryan talked about eager to do some exhibition matches in Japan, however that most likely wouldn’t contain Crawford.
Ryan, 26, says he thinks Crawford is boring, and that’s truly fairly true. Crawford is boring to look at as a result of he’s a boxer. The blokes that he knocked out had been both outdated, ruined by automobile crashes, or not that good to start with.
“So far as Bud Crawford, I referred to as him out already. I believe he’s solely attempting to combat Canelo Alvarez. So, I don’t assume that’s going to occur,” stated Ryan Garcia on social media, speaking about eager to combat Terence Crawford.
“I might like to combat Bud Crawford. I don’t assume he’s nearly as good as individuals say he’s. I say this publicly, and I say it on stay proper now. If Bud is listening, I might like to combat you. I really feel I might actually beat the s*** out of you.”
Crawford must be awfully spoiled for him to cross up on a suggestion like this to combat Ryan, as a result of he’s not going to get something higher.
“You’re an excellent fighter, however I don’t assume you’ve ever crushed anybody with expertise and explosiveness and energy. In my view, you might have crushed Shawn Porter. He’s a fantastic fighter, however form of fundamental. Errol Spence Jr. got here off a crash. I don’t assume he’s that good,” stated Garcia.
“Have you ever fought anyone with one-punch knockout energy? No. So, I believe Bud Crawford is overrated. You guys might have your individual opinions on it. That’s how I really feel. I’m a boxer. I don’t care. I’ll combat him and beat the [stuffing] out of him. I really feel like that’s it. Level clean and interval,” stated Garcia.
The left hook that Ryan Garcia throws would positively knock out Crawford if he landed it on the button. Crawford was badly harm by former featherweight champion Yuriorkis Gamboa a few years in the past, and if he was harm again then, he could be equally harm now by Ryan. Crawford took quite a lot of exhausting photographs by Israil Madrimov of their combat on August third, and that couldn’t have executed him any good.
“I might truly combat him. There’s a distinction. I might truly combat him. You’d truly see Ryan Garcia within the ring with Bud Crawford. I can’t converse for these different fighters. I don’t know if Tank would combat Bud Crawford, however I do know I might. I might combat Bud Crawford with satisfaction, and I might go in there and provides all of it I acquired,” stated Garcia.
A combat between Ryan and Crawford would do large numbers, however solely due to Kingry. Crawford would come alongside for the combat. It won’t matter if Turki Alalshikh is paying Crawford, however the PPV numbers wouldn’t be on the extent of Garcia’s combat towards Gervonta Davis.
“If he doesn’t need it, that’s not my fault. If he doesn’t assume it’s a match, that’s not my fault. He’s not a draw. He doesn’t convey something to the desk. He’s boring as f***, however I might most likely give him his greatest payday of his life if he takes the combat,” stated Ryan.
If His Excellency Turki Alalshikh is serious about paying Crawford tons of cash to combat a non-popular fighter from the 154-lb division, he’ll most likely do it. He’s not going to comply with combat anybody not named Canelo with out Turki paying him handsomely.
