However, he has vowed to come back shortly and is already dropping glimpses of his ongoing drills. The 135 lbs division is full of top-tier personalities in which ‘KingRy’ struggles to sit at this point. That said, the former WBC Interim champion may have shifted his attention towards a YouTuber.

Although Ryan Garcia has envisioned himself stopping Hall within 20 seconds in a possible clash, the chances of seeing it happen are actually very low. On returning, ‘KingRy’ can go for the big matchups in 135 lbs, as he seems one win away from earning a world championship shot.

On looking at the entire graph of the lightweight division, Garcia’s contemporaries have taken a massive leap and are way ahead of him in the race. Devin Haney holds the WBC belt, Gervonta Davis has the WBA title, and despite being undefeated, Garcia doesn’t have any title around his shoulder.
WBC stripped him of the Interim title due to his long hiatus. Therefore, Ryan Garcia shall first win at any cost. He cannot afford to lose his undefeated streak or can fall before sheer criticisms. Well, he still has pretty fast hands and vicious KO-power to boast. On making full use of them, Garcia can return to the top-tier system once again.
