    Brook is on another level than Kavaliauskas, who touched Bud plenty.

    King Ry sparks his glass chin into a million pieces.

    interesting matchup TBH, one fighter on the way up vs another on the way down. could easily go either way, I'd slightly favour Garcia but it'd be an unecessarily risky match-up for him at this stage.

    Well if Garcia wants to give it the large one in beating up a bigger man he has to fight him at 147. No point giving it the big one and then making the guy boil down even more and Khan now would struggle to make anything under 147. I'm sure I'd change my opinion in another year or so as he grows but Garcia wouldnt beat Khan right now not only would he be the best he has fought he would also be a natural 12 pounds bigger than anyone Ryan has fought. Khan would take his shots too

    Khan would get stopped. Since losing to Peterson he's had 11 fights in eight years, including that joke mismatch against Billy Dib. He's not been anywhere near active enough and he doesn't spend much time in the gym between his rare appearances in the ring. And in a training video from this year, he looks to have lost a bit of his speed. You also can't overstate the impact of that brutal Canelo stoppage. He's been cracked - permanently.

    Garcia is fast and can dig. He's dedicated and improving.

    Also, until they can design a protector which cushions his unusually vulnerable hip - which when hit seems to have some effect on his heart too - I'm not sure Amir can safely make a return to the ring...

    Y'all are crazy. Ryan Garcia hasn't fought a single name. Khan would KO this kid. And I'm a Khan hater.

    :lol:

    This kid is drinking his own Kool-Aid and is obviously getting high off the bubbles in it. Be careful what you wish for young man Khan might be shot to bits and his chin not it once was but you're in for a very rude awakening if you think you're even remotely ready to try and bridge the gap to Brit Level.

    Crawford is arguably the best fighter on the planet and a WW.

    Ryan Garcia is a largely unproven prospect at LW.

    Its apples and oranges.

    It was apples and oranges when Khan met Bud too.
