Garcia wants Gervonta Davis next and is looking the perfect package in a business desperate for a social-media darling with the skills of a fighting demon.

During the last year or so, Garcia has been in and out of the headlines, accused of not having the heart for the dirty, old game and wanting to be a celebrity and not a fighter. Garcia is the model and Jake Paul is the dreamer in this new twilight arena. In round five, Garcia got a bit closer and turned the hook a bit higher and Fortuna crumpled. In the sixth, Garcia put together a seamless three-punch combination of left, right and left hook; Fortuna dropped for the last time. A left hook under the elbow in round four was the first knockdown and it was a blur of perfection, even in slow motion.

RYAN GARCIA stopped Javier Fortuna on Sunday morning and called out Gervonta Davis post-fight.

The pair seemingly agreed to a contest during Ryan Garcia's appearance on Mike Tyson’s Hot Boxin’ podcast last year but nothing came of it -- a frustrating reminder of the deep-rooted issue of boxing politics. Davis has only fought at light-welterweight once during a WBA (regular) title fight against Mario Barrios. Although Davis came away the victor on the night, 'Tank' clearly struggled with the size of his opponent and hasn't returned since. You only have to look back to the proposed middleweight contest between Jermall Charlo and Jaime Munguia earlier this year. It seems both men do genuinely want to meet each other in the ring, but it's less certain whether Davis would return to 140lb to fight a far bigger foe. Gervonta Davis has told Ryan Garcia that he will see him at the end of the year after ‘KingRy' called out ‘Tank’ post-fight on Sunday morning. Garcia looked extremely impressive during his second outing at light welterweight, as he knocked down his opponent in rounds 4,5, and 6 on route to the eventual stoppage.

There are few things more overwhelming than the tornado that forms when two pugilists circle each other for months, and even years, before finally engaging ...

Garcia and Davis have been gravitating towards one another on the forecast as a Category 5, but it might dissipate into a gust of hot air. The aforementioned Crawford and Spence super fight only came to fruition after the former separated from Top Rank. Davis is still repped by Premier Boxing Champions, who are known to keep the boxers in their stable out of reach from upper echelon fighters who can put a dent in their records. The 5-foot-5 Davis is already giving up five inches to the towering Garcia and three inches in reach. Of all the lightweight sharks, Garcia has the second-highest knockout ratio to Davis and even that statistic undervalues Garcia’s power. The designated weight is bound to be a point of contention in the negotiations. Garcia’s vow to fight Davis became the headline, but there’s one caveat in the fine print of his post-match harangue that could thrust this fight into development hell.

With Ryan Garcia's win over Javier Fortuna, we look at the possible options for his next fight.

Would ‘The Dream’ be as keen if the title was in the possession of Garcia? Hughes and his manager, Andrew ‘Stefy’ Bull, have publicly called for the fight. For all his offensive prowess, Linares is defensively vulnerable and it is that fragility, combined with the Venezuelan’s accomplishments which could make him an attractive option to Garcia’s team. This one is unlikely to be next, but money talks, and there would be an awful lot generated by a bout between two of the most exciting young fighters in the world. Garcia is either an optimist who believes that promoters, broadcasters and weight classes should not be prohibitive to the best fighting each other, or someone who wants credit for demanding the bouts fans want to see, knowing there is little to no chance of them happening. Both men are signed to Golden Boy Promotions, so the bout could be easily made. Perhaps, Garcia has entered the stage of his career where he can make up his own weight classes as Canelo Alvarez did at various points. A clash between Garcia and Lopez has similar obstacles to overcome as the Davis fight, just replace PBC with Top Rank, and Showtime with ESPN. However, the bout is not straight forward to make. That has always happened between rival television stations, it remains to be seen whether such an agreement could be reached with a streaming platform like DAZN. On this showing, he appeared to be the former, rather than the latter. It will take greater tests that this to assess just how high the 23-year-old’s ceiling is. Still, you can only beat what is in front of you, and Garcia certainly looked the part in doing so.
