THE CHAMP desires to fight. SOMEONE RUN THE SCRAP\u201d said Ryan Garcia on X.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ryan is probably going doing plenty of talking to make sure he doesn\u2019t get stuck with a compulsory defense that pays peanuts. By demanding Conor Benn or big-name rematches, he\u2019s forcing the hand of his promoters.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is that Ryan has the WBC belt, however the division is currently a waiting game. Unless someone like Turki Alalshikh decides Benn is well worth the investment despite the Regis Prograis struggle, Ryan might find himself observing a stay-busy fight that he definitely doesn\u2019t want.<\/p>\n<p>If Ryan had that \u201cfight anyone, anywhere\u201d mentality, he wouldn\u2019t be in this example. A \u201cSugar Ray Robinson\u201d would have already signed to fight essentially the most dangerous guy available simply to prove some extent.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan\u2019s current situation is an ideal example of a fighter being trapped by his own financial expectations. Because he has such an enormous following, he feels he can\u2019t take a \u201cnormal\u201d title defense without it being a blockbuster event.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s telling that Ryan\u2019s interest in Benn spiked right after Benn looked beatable against Regis Prograis on April 11. It\u2019s the business-first mindset. He\u2019s searching for the best payout with the smallest amount of technical risk.<\/p>\n<p>By dismissing Rolly Romero as an option but chasing a man who just got his eyes cut by a 37-year-old Prograis, Ryan is showing his hand. He wants a reputation he thinks he can beat comfortably.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sabox-authors\">\n<div class=\"saboxplugin-wrap\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"author\">\n<div class=\"saboxplugin-tab saboxplugin-tab-about\">\n<div class=\"saboxplugin-desc\">\n<div itemprop=\"description\">\n<p><strong>Tom Galm<\/strong> is a boxing journalist who has covered the worldwide fight landscape since 2014, specializing in heavyweight evaluation, industry trends, and fighter psychology.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI would like to fight to fight so bad \ud83d\ude29 I feel much more now that I actually have a belt.
