    Ryan has quite a way to go to equal Amir's record of achievement.


    Amir...

    - won an Olympic silver medal at age 17, the youngest age for any UK boxer to in an Olympic medal.

    - at 22 ( two years younger than current Ryan), he won the WBA world super Lightweight title.

    - made five successful defences of this super LW title at around Ryan's age, mostly against ranked names.
    - Salita by KO --- Malignaggi by KO --- Maidana by UD --- McCloskey (my cousin) by TD --- Zab Judah by KO ---

    - In his sixth defence, he fell victim to a very blatant home-boy robbery in 'losing' to Lamont Peterson

    - In 2014 and 2015, he added three wins over 'names' at alter wt: Luis Collazo, Devon Alexander and Chris Algieri.

    - Finally, at a weight (MW) far above where he should have been, he outboxed Canelo over five round before being KO'd.


    Amir was not spectacular, but young Ryan has a loooooooooooooooooong way to go come close to Amir's standing.

    That's debatable.

    I wouldn't say he has a glass chin, nor a glass liver.

    But there's some who might.



    At any rate, he doesn't;t have any scalps that come close to Maidana or even Zab.

    No, not even the next Ortiz like people say. I think Ryan will be alright, he just needs more experience, and not get hit with that liver shot again. Lol

    I think he has way more potential than Khan, but no discipline to develop himself

    He has a long way to go before achieving what Khan has. People always knock Khan, they need to check his resume regardless of the chin issue.

    Yeah I'm sure Ryan Garcia couldn't beat for a title the one and only, A Level, elite, p4p star, huge punching ,beast, HOFer, that was the unforgetable , unbeatable Andreas Kotelnik.

    don't even pretend Zab wasn't shot to pieces at that point that aint even funny. He had about 8/9 losses and had just lost to Matthysse and was gifted a robbery decision, and was dropped by Kaizer Mabuza lol.

    140 is the division were weak fighters who aren't good enough to win titles at tge stronger more stacked 135 or 147, manage to pick up one. Garcia will be the same, so that'll be another similarity.
