I reckon that this speculated roadmap for him to take easier money might be a very bad mistake for King Ry. He is very much the same King Ry who had the very good victory against the crying Devin Haney. If I was in the managing team of Ryan Garcia, I would suggest that they should put their fighter to train with Eddy Reynoso and immediately go into negotiations with the scammer Tank's last opponent Lamont Roach and have this challenge on the super lightweight division or catchweight.
We can be quite certain that a victory for King Ry against Lamont Roach will cause the boxing news media to put him back in the conversation for a rematch against Tank or Haney.
Ryan is a full fledged welterweight now. Lamont Roach is a super featherweight and Tank is a small lightweight. However unfair the rehydration clause was, it is time to move on and focus on rebuilding his career at his natural weight. There is plenty of talent at welterweight like Boots, Norman, and Teofimo that Ryan can fight. For Tank and Roach there is Shakur, Zepeda and Keyshawn. The only reason for having a Garcia-Tank rematch would be to chase another payday, but that’s not what either of their careers need at this moment.
I disagree. King Ry is not a welterweight, his body is small for this weight division. This might also be the big reason why he has lost against Rolly Romero. He is not as quick and his body might be heavy to carry in the ring.
This is headshaking because I speculate that the reason for King Ry's decision to fight in welterweight is laziness to remove the weight to fight in super lightweight. Also, they might have thought that King Ry's power punches might be stronger with more weight in his body without considering that this will be more difficult for him to carry the weight.
Where is @Boafeng and @bisdak40? I am waiting for their analysis hehehe.
