The light division has become one of the most attractive and competitive on the current boxing scene, due to the coexistence of big names such as Teófimo López, Devin Haney, Gervonta Davis, Ryan García and Rolando Romero, all with world titles; and also others like it Vasyl Lomachenko, Jorge Linares or Javier Fortuna.
Ryan García warned that when determining who is the best in the division, belts do not play as important a role as many attribute to them. Of course, if he had said otherwise, he would have automatically withdrawn from the discussion with his provisional WBC title.
“I’m not naive to say that Teófimo López doesn’t matter. Of course it matters. What doesn’t matter are his belts. I wear this belt because it looks good, it makes me look good. But the truth is that there are too many belts, too many champions. You don’t know who the real champion is. If Teofimo wants to win that crown, that’s fine. “said the young king of Golden Boy promotions in dialogue with the program Stephen A.’s World from ESPN.
And I add: “I know the truth. The truth is, you’re not a champion until you defeat the toughest people in the division, if you don’t do what people want. I’m trying to be the champion of the people. I’ll face the best fighters as soon as possible, because that’s what I’m saying “.
Without confirming any fight for Ryan in this 2021, the truth is that he validates his words by going out to find some great photos, such as Gervonta Davis, in the light division, and even Manny Pacquiao, who is currently WBA world welterweight champion. .
