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.
