HTF is Ryan Garcia getting a title shot?!

[Master]

Ryan Garcia fails a drug test and does not make weight then loses against Rolly and now is getting a title shot. How does that happen?

Has there ever been a more undeserved boxer who was able to get a title shot that way?

WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman officially announced that the ruling had been reversed.

"The WBC Board of Governors has voted in favor of lifting the ban on [Ryan Garcia] after his successful process which has been documented," Sulaiman tweeted. "The WBC has been very close to Ryan, his family, management and promoter and we trust a new life inside and outside the ring will begin. We welcome you with open arms and trust you will be an ambassador for the new generation."

The lifted ban is merely the next step in the potential Mario Barrios-Ryan Garcia title fight, which is rumored to happen in early 2026. Neither fighter won a fight in 2025, with Garcia's last official victory coming in December 2023.

Garcia's loss to Romero was also for a title. The two competed for the vacant WBA welterweight belt, which had been recently vacated by Terence Crawford.

"I'm officially unbanned from the WBC," Garcia tweeted. "I want to thank the WBC for seeing my efforts of change and making this decision. I'm ready to put that green and gold belt on and representing as a true champion."

Gotta be careful when choosing your fight "heroes."

Just cause they adopt "snazzy" nicknames and put ridiculous crowns on their head doesn't make them worthy. Just cause they've had ONE legitimate impressive victory on their record... and then go on to call themselves "The Face of Boxing".... get embarrassed a smaller dude.... parlay your pretty face into a multi-million Instagram following.... and come down with mental issues..... not to mention demanding exhibitions with boxing legends (Pacquaio)..... NONE of that warrants the attention this basket case gets.

And now he's getting a TITLE SHOT??!!??

Oh wait.... it's the WBC (We Blow Canelo) Mafia, with Mauricio Corleone... er... I mean... Sulaiman... at the helm.

Another whopper by the organization singlehandedly ruining the sport.

the real question should be how did the wbc give eddie croft a title shot?

[TitoFan]

It was a nod to Erik Morales, of course.

I had to look this one up. I guess Godfather José felt that fellow Mexican and favorite son Erik needed a breather... so he fed him a dude with FOUR knockout losses in his last FIVE fights.

But the question posed here is WHY is the WBC Mafia giving gifting basket case PrincessRy a title shot.

answer: nothing new under the sun. underserving fighters have been & will continue to be given title shots

i think a bigger issue is how the handling of jaime munguia & francisco rodriguez failed drugs tests & nothing happening

Yep. Especially when said undeserving fighters are "godfathered" by sleazy boxing orgs like the WBC.

Everyone knows this happens... but it cheapens the sport, nevertheless.
