do you think, at this second, Garcia could beat any of the following:
Pedroza
Campbell
Linares
Crolla
the top 3..no although linares be having those lapses every now and then..crolla possibly
I think Linares is done at lightweight or jr welter.
Crolla never really got started.
If Ryan can't beat those 2, then he got problems.

Usyk vs Takam
Usyk vs Parker
then Usyk vs Joshua
Usyk vs Parker could be a great fight. Hope that happens.
This Parker move could open up some potentially interesting fights. Parker vs Povetkin, Parker vs Usyk, Parker vs Chisora, Parker vs Hrgovic, Parker vs Allen would even be fun cause of the styles clash. There's a lot of different options just within that stable. I'd even watch Parker vs Price to see the styles clash. But you could definitely get a lot of potentially good fights so hopefully they don't mess it up. I think a good plan for the first 3 would be Chisora, Povetkin then Usyk. If he ended up winning all those he'd be back in title contention no problem. All would be tough fights but if he came through he'd be very deserving to be back at the top.
If Whyte ends up losing, to either Rivas or Wilder if he gets the shot then the Parker rematch would also make sense. To see who would have would rise again and who would have to rebuild. Good move for Parker, really opens up his options to make the most interesting fights.

I said this on the podcast last night, and I'll say it again. Ryan Garcia shouldn't even be mentioned with the other 3.
I'll use the comparison with my favorite soda again: Orange Soda
Sunkist >> Crush > Fanta >>>>>> Minute Maid
Ryan Garcia is the Minute Maid in this equation. Straight
and shouldn't be mentioned with the other 3.Shakur to me is the Sunkist in this equation, the clear cut best. Haney and Teofimo are jockeying for position; but I'd put Teofimo 2nd with Haney just right behind.
Although I'm very high on Teofimo, I do believe of the those 3, he is the biggest boom or bust prospect. Very high ceiling, but a very low floor as well. If this were the NBA/NFL Draft, he'd be that Top 5/10 pick that could be a star, but could also bottom out and be out the league n 4 or 5 years.
Shakur to me is like a can't miss prospect. He's like a Zion Williamson or a Sam Darnold in that even if he never reaches his full potential, he's still going to have a long/productive career. Multiple time All-Star (Champion) in the making

yeah i got around to listening to yll podcast, been listening for a minute. where you rank vergil?
Some years ago (after the Cotto fight) my Miami nikkas was telling me dude was accepting fades for 10k.
I guess he was trying to ride that Kimbo street fighting wave in between his pro bouts back then.
Don't know if anybody ever went through with it, but I'm not surprised to hear him doing that bare knuckle shyt.
