Terence Crawford entertains Ryan Garcia fight talks

Terence Crawford looks to be interested in a fight against Ryan Garcia.

Ryan Garcia sparked Terence Crawford's potential retirement comeback by baiting the undefeated superstar on social media. Crawford, known for his impressive 42-0 record, has left a legacy in the boxing world. Following his WBC welterweight title defense against Gervonta Davis, Garcia has expressed interest in a rematch against Davis at 147-pounds.

Additionally, a potential fight against Teofimo Lopez during Cinco de Mayo weekend appears to be on the horizon. However, Garcia's most ambitious goal is now capturing the attention of the undefeated Terence Crawford, who has not been seen in the ring since his retirement following a victory over Canelo Alvarez.

Following Crawford's retirement announcement, Garcia took to social media to question why Crawford had not called him out during his active career. Crawford responded to Garcia's query, explaining his reasons for not facing certain fighters. He emphasized that his decision to call out and fight every top fighter in every division was a strategic move to disrupt their plans, stating, "Certain fighters is kept away from other fighters because it’s a business."

However, in a recent statement, Crawford went after Garcia, challenging the younger fighter and warning that a potential match would end badly, leading to child abuse allegations. Crawford declared, "I’ll f*** Ryan Garcia up so bad people going to be calling the law on me talking about child abuse. Like why did you do that to that little boy you knew he was just talking for the entertainment. Here I am."
