It is not the other way around.
Sure, Garcia had a good win over Mario Barrios last weekend. But overall he is still a fighter in decline from where he used to be years ago.
We see no improvements in Ryan Garcia at all. Only deterioration. Mario Barrios had a very bad night at the office as well.
Shakur Stevenson on the other hand is unbeaten and flying high. Improving all the time both defensive and offensively in his combination work in his recent bouts.
He will keep improving in the time ahead as well and for many, including us, Shakur Stevenson after obliterating Teofimo Lopez recently,
is now number three pound for pound best boxer on Earth.
Garcia called out Stevenson afterwards but former pound for pound number one and now retired Terence Crawford was fast to point out if they fought there is only one winner.
That’s Shakur Stevenson.
Even with the weight and size difference.
Stevenson knows all about Garcia at this point and although Garcia is punching hard at welterweight still, his speed, timing and agility are far from what they are.
The amount of mistakes his makes defensively makes Ryan Garcia very open to be picked apart by Stevenson as well.
At the same time as well Haney vs Garcia 2 is bigger than ever now — so many fights can be made.
