    During Haney and Garcia's last presser in L.A ODLH brought up Barboza to speak. Barboza said he is grateful and ready to be the fill in fighter if Haney or Garcia pull out of the fight.

    Barboza said while Haney and Garcia are playing games on social media he is grinding in the gym and ready to fight either one.

    At this point I don't think Garcia is trolling and might be crying out for help.

    If Barboza steps in to fight Haney how would this play out and would this be a better fight?

    Thoughts?

    LOL, man they already have someone lined up. I think ODLH knows Garcia is ready to crack mentally any day now.

    Potentially. Barboza I think still doesn't have an opponent for the card.

    Which is to say Ryan losing whether he shows up to fight or pulls out.

    I think part of reason Floyd tried whispering in Ryan's ear is cause Ryan is somehow Tank's best win and Floyd didnt want Ryan losing his next 5 fights which greatly waters down what Tank done.

    Its unstoppable at this point. Ryan will be broken every single fight. He'll be a less annoying Broner

    I can picture on fight night all three of Haney, Barboza and Garcia coming out for ringwalks. Garcia's like No I can still fight, while ODLH's telling Barboza Nah Ryan's not ready, go get him Arnold. With Devin looking around confused.
