He said, “Well I’m picking Ryan obviously because you know, we started with Ryan Garcia, we’ve built his career inside the ring, we you know, we got him where he had, so I believe in his talent, I believe in his skill, I believe in his arsenal, He has more tools, than ‘Tank’ Davis. He has more tools to beat ‘Tank’ Davis, inside the ring. His long Jab, his long stance, his wide stance, his punches and bunches, his speed, his power.” De La Hoya is also the promoter of Garcia and he groomed Garcia.

Meanwhile, on another occasion, Oscar De La Hoya cast his doubt about the fight coming to fruition due to some contractual issues between both parties.
