Ryan Garcia SNAPS at Terence Crawford in Heated Press Conference: ‘You’re Not On My Level!’

Added: 2026-06-02

[00:00:00]Chance Coffford. Why Chan Scoffer?

[00:00:03]>> I don't think he's as good as people say he is. I mean, you could debate me on that. I think I'm a better fighter.

[00:00:07]>> I don't give a fight him. I beat the of him. I feel like in my heart. And >> imagine stepping into a packed press conference expecting the usual trash talk. But within seconds, the entire room goes completely silent. Cameras zoom in. Reporters stop typing. Even the fighters sitting ringside can't believe what they're hearing because this time Ryan Garcia didn't hold back at all. The moment Terren Crawford mentioned his name, Ryan's face instantly changed. You could see the frustration building. The tension was unreal. Then out of nowhere, Garcia leaned forward, pointed directly at Crawford, and fired the words that sent shock waves across the boxing world. You're not on my level. The crowd exploded.

[00:00:54]Some fans started cheering. Others looked completely stunned. Crawford tried to laugh it off at first, but the energy in the room had already shifted.

[00:01:04]Ryan kept talking louder and more aggressive with every sentence. He accused Crawford of ducking real challenges, claimed the sport was changing, and warned everyone that a new king was taking over boxing right in front of their eyes. But Crawford wasn't about to stay quiet. The undefeated champion fired back immediately, reminding Ryan exactly who he was talking to. He called Garcia emotional, inexperienced, and said there are levels to this game Ryan still hasn't reached.

[00:01:33]That's when security started paying close attention because both fighters were suddenly standing face to face, refusing to back down. And here's the craziest part. People who were inside the arena are now saying the cameras didn't capture everything. According to witnesses, the argument became even more personal after the microphones were lowered. Some reporters claim team members had to step in before things turned physical. Now fans everywhere are asking the same question. Is this the beginning of the biggest grudge match in boxing today? Because after this heated confrontation, one thing is crystal clear. This isn't just promotion anymore. This is personal. And if these two warriors ever step into the ring together, it could become one of the most explosive fights boxing has seen in years.

[00:02:22]>> Um, I would love to fight you. I I feel like I would uh literally beat the Um, you're a good fighter, but I don't think you've ever fought somebody with talent and explosiveness and power. No, no, he ain't like that, bro.

[00:02:36]>> Tar Crawford is is is overhyped bone, bro. I'm sorry. Somebody got to say it. You're overight bone, bro. You I'm looking at the camera right now. You suck, bro.

[00:02:48]>> The awful things Garcia said have been shared a lot on the internet, which is why Terren Crawford spoke out. Garcia says Crawford has never fought someone truly strong. So, he thinks the unbeaten champion would have a hard time beating someone like him.

[00:03:02]>> I'm in my prime. Uh, he didn't look good his last fight. Uh, I can fight him at 154 if he wants it.

[00:03:09]>> So, you truly think that Terence Crawford's over ready?

[00:03:12]>> I do.

[00:03:13]Wow. He's never he's never lost, but you think he doesn't have any quality quality win?

[00:03:17]>> I don't think he's ever fought a a generational talent ever in his life.

[00:03:22]>> Wow. And and you're that guy.

[00:03:24]>> You think you're the you're the first guy to give Terence Crawford his first loss.

[00:03:27]>> Ryan challenged Terrence Crawford to a fight on a live show on Xquares.

[00:03:32]Crawford spoke confidently to the crowd, and Garcia was at his best when he told Crawford that if he agreed to fight him, it would be the best money Crawford had ever made in his career.

[00:03:42]The unbeaten winner said he wasn't interesting and wasn't motivated. I >> mean, he beat Shawn Porter. Shawn Porter is a great fighter, but kind of basic.

[00:03:50]Uh, Aeros Spence Jr. came off a crash.

[00:03:53]Don't think he's that good. Have you fought anybody with one punch knockout power? No. So, I feel like uh Bud Crawford is uh over uh over over >> Keep in mind that Ryan Garcia has been talking about a boxer with a perfect record of 41 to zero with 31 knockouts.

[00:04:12]This person has been a world champion in three-weight classes, lightweight, WBO title, light welterweight, undisputed champion with all four major belts, WBC, WBA, IBF, and welterweight, unified WBC, WBA, IBF, and WBO titles in 2023, solidifying his reputation as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in boxing history. Brian Bomac McIntyre, Terence Crawford's longtime trainer and strategist, talked about the possible fight between Crawford and Ryan Garcia.

[00:04:46]He said, "Terence can handle Ryan Garcia even in his sleep, and that fight will not be good for Garcia if it happens."

[00:04:52]He said, "Oneway fight, man. You know, all money ain't good money." Bomac was saying that even though Garcia could make money from the fight, it wouldn't be worth it because it wouldn't be a competitive match. In a recent tweet, Terrence Crawford replied to Ryan Garcia's statement about the state of the boxing business in a friendly way, saying that Crawford agreed with Garcia that the current system needs to change.

[00:05:14]>> I would actually fight him. There's a difference. I would actually fight him.

[00:05:17]Now, if he doesn't want it, that's not my fault. If he doesn't think it's a match, that ain't my fault. He's never He's not a draw. He doesn't bring anything to the table. He's boring as but I would give him a I would probably give him the biggest payday of his life if he >> People are still talking about Ryan Garcia's fight with Deon Haney because of all the problems that happened before and after it. Ryan Garcia was seen smoking and drinking before the fight and Terren Crawford praised Garcia for being honest, especially since he knows that many people look up to him. his own truth, you know, he's not he's not hiding behind the doors or hiding in a closet about who he really is. So, he's he's comfortable with who he is and he accepted who he is and uh for him to come out and say that it takes a lot of guts because he know a lot of people is looking up to him. A lot of people uh want to be him.

[00:06:14]After his fight with Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia tested positive for a ban drug which got him suspended. Garcia continues to stir up the boxing world by making strong comments about his peers and often playing down their successes.

[00:06:28]His new target is Terence Crawford, who wants to fight Canelo Alvarez in 2025, but the fight hasn't been confirmed yet, Garcia said in a message to Crawford.

[00:06:39]>> Boom, bro. You I'm looking at the camera right now. You suck, bro. Just stop acting like you're like that. Stop stealing boxing's money. You're wasting everybody's money. You're not entertaining, bro. You're boring as Come see me in the ring if you Garcia teased Crawford by saying he hadn't met anyone with as much knockout power as Crawford and teasing about a possible fight. He said it would be his biggest payday if Crawford agreed, but he wasn't sure if the undefeated champion would take the challenge.

[00:07:05]>> At the lower weight classes, he was definitely weight BULLY AND HE WAS HUGE.

[00:07:09]HE'S NOT JUST TALENTED, SKILLFUL, HE WAS BIGGER THAN EVERYBODY. SO, PAUSE. SO, you know that he was GOING TO DOMINATE EVERYBODY THERE. ALL RIGHT. EVERYBODY UP TO 140. NOW, 147 WASN'T FIGHT MUCH. TAIL BROOK OVER THE HILL. CHILD PORTER ONE FOOT OUT. AND IF YOU THINK THAT ERROL Spence fight was the best Aerrol Spence you EVER SEEN, YOU'RE FOOLING YOURSELF JUST TO GIVE LOVE FOR THAT FIGHT. A lot of people aren't saying what we all really know. Errol Spence washed, bro.

[00:07:37]That Errol Spence that showed up against Crawford was washed. WE IF YOU WANT TO KEEP IT REAL.

[00:07:43]>> Ryan Garcia recently said that Terence Crawford is getting too much attention.

[00:07:48]He said that Garcia is angry with Crawford because he doesn't think he has fought enough top level opponents even though Crawford has a perfect record and multiple world titles. In another tweet from April 12th, 2024, Garcia shows some respect for Terence Crawford's accomplishments while also saying he wants to fight and beat him. This kind of bad talk is nothing new. Garcia has been calling out Crawford even before his fight with Deon Haney. There has been a lot of drama surrounding Garcia, from his suspension for failing a drug test to his heated arguments with other athletes. His calls outs to Crawford, which often come across as personal and aggressive, seem meant to start a fight, even though Crawford is focused on other rivals. He wrote, "Crawford is one of the greatest FIGHTERS OF ALL TIME. BUT RYAN'S RIGHT." NOW, LET ME TELL YOU WHY HE'S RIGHT. BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT FIGHTERS DO TODAY. That's the culture today. You want to know HOW I KNOW? RYAN GARCIA, WHAT'S YOUR BEST WIN? DEVIN HANEY, YOU POP ROSTER IN. YOU GET WHAT I'M SAYING?

[00:08:51]THE ONE YOU GOT TO ASTER BY YOUR ONE GREAT WIN AND THAT'S DEVIN HANEY YOUR POP FOSTERING YOU give >> in his most recent tweet which was posted on September 20th Terren Crawford responded to Ryan Garcia in response to Garcia's claims that Crawford has only fought jerks or lower level fighters.

[00:09:10]Crawford talked about how much of an impact he has had on the sport and how confident he is that despite the criticism, his name will always be remembered in boxing history.

[00:09:20]Crawford wrote on his exhandle that he thought about how people today often use social media to try to get attention, suggesting that some fighters or people cause trouble just to get likes and fame online. He compared this to his own efforts to stay focused on his career and stay calm. the things that I could say right now that I'm not going to say, you know, um, but there's a change that need to be made in the sport of boxing. And I think that that change is coming.

[00:09:49]>> Where Ryan Garcia's last fight went with such big drama, Terence Crawford's last fight took place on August 3rd, 2024 against Israel Madramov. Crawford won the bout by majority decision with scores of 116 to 112, 115 to 113 and 115 to 113. This victory earned him his fourth world title in a different weight class, making him a four division world champion despite some challenges in the middle rounds. Crawford controlled the fight in the middle stages. His knowledge and sharp tactical skills helped him secure the win after going the distance for the first time since 2016. Even at 37 years old, Crawford showed he's still a top fighter in boxing. Adding to speculation about future big fights, the Terrence the Crawford versus Madramoff fight struggled to create substantial financial success through pay-per-view.

[00:10:37]The reported loss of over 10 million shows the challenges that even well backed international boxing promotions face, especially when key players like Turkey Alshik are involved. The event's difficulty in drawing a bigger audience signals the inherent risks and promoting major boxing matches across global markets. Jeff Mayweather also touched on how fans reacted to Crawford's fight against Madramoff, noting that many thought Crawford's punches weren't as powerful as they were in lower weight classes. Mayweather accepted that Crawford could still perform well against Canelo Alvarez if he prepared properly, but also pointed out that doubts arose after the fight despite these concerns. Mayweather stressed that taking risks is a crucial part of reaching greatness in boxing. He said >> yesterday they text me. They text me and say we can talk about the fight in February with Crawford >> Super Bowl, right?

[00:11:29]>> Yeah.

[00:11:30]>> They call they text me yesterday and I say look I'm not want to talk about any other fight. I'm focused 100% on this fight. Look, I don't like the way he talk and I'm not in this position because of any I'm in this position. If he wants to work with me is in my way, knowing their way. What was he needed?

[00:11:52]>> What What didn't you like about how he approached like what was >> is not the is not the the the the way to approach. It's not the way to approach to me. Look, I respect everybody and I respect Turkey. But I look >> if if he wants to work with me is the adult Chavez gave his honest opinion on Terren Crawford's past fights and the fighters he faced. Chavez said that Crawford wasn't just skilled and talented, he was also bigger than most of the fighters in those weight classes, which gave him an advantage. Chavez also said that when Crawford moved up to welterweight, his opponents weren't as strong. He said that fighters like Kell Brookke were past their best and Shawn Porter had one foot out of boxing.

[00:12:34]Chavez, aka the adult, said that Terrence Crawford was one of the best fighters of all time. But he also said that Ryan Garcia was right about some things. He said that this was typical of modern boxing where fighters don't always get good wins. Chavez said that even Ryan Garcia's best win against Deon Haney was controversial because of how it happened.

[00:12:56]>> It's so awkward, right? His herkyjerky like bobblehead style, you know, fainting and fainting and all that. Like that's a tough match for anybody. I mean, even I I think Boots will have a hard time with Magic M. I mean, he'll beat him, but you know, I think a lot of these guys, you know, Virgil Ortiz, I think they all have a hard time imagining. People are not like, you know, giving that guy enough credit. Um, Canelo's more of a stand in front of you. Yeah, he has good head movement, but he's not like Herky Jerky. He's going to be there for you. And so, um, what did it show me? What did it prove to me? I mean, I mean, it it proved to me that that Bud will be competitive with him. Absolutely. You know what I mean? And then it didn't prove to me that Butle, you know, go in there and annihilate Canelo. But I think it'll be a great fight. You know what I mean?

[00:13:45]You already I I think it'll be a great fight. And I think that um you know, Chavez, the adult, went on to talk about how Ryan Garcia's view of Terence Crawford's career is indicative of a bigger issue in boxing right now. He admitted that Crawford's career can be logically criticized because he's faced so much opposition, which allows people like Garcia to make arguments against his greatness. Chavez also said that it's more common for fighters to have question marks around their best wins, which is something we're trying to change in this war room. Ryan Garcia has the kind of way you can look at Terren Crawford's career and come up with that logical case you don't want to give people that. Chavez then compared Crawford's career to that of legendary boxers like Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali, and Floyd Mayweather. He said that the same complaints couldn't be made against those fighters because they always fought the best in their eras, making it clear that they were great. He also said that even Floyd Mayweather, whose later career choices are often criticized, fought almost everyone during his prime and didn't leave much room for doubt.

[00:14:48]>> Record, he's only got 10 10 wins, no losses, and a draw. So, he's very green in terms of his professional career, but he was a top-notch amateur. Uh, you know, I remember being at like either I can't remember if it was his professional debut or his second fight.

[00:15:00]They were already matching him with legitimate guys. They knew that this kid could move fairly quickly, you know, like we've seen some of the other top amateurs that have come into boxing.

[00:15:10]They don't have to screw around with a whole bunch of four rounders and six rounders and that sort of thing.

[00:15:15]Fighters all develop at their own pace.

[00:15:16]they were okay to match him more aggressively at the >> even though he was banned for a year because he failed a drug test. Garcia is still a big deal in boxing and is already planning to come back in 2025 due to a legal dispute. He couldn't fight Haney again. Instead, he set his sights on Crawford, calling him boring and overrated and saying he would beat the crap out of him. However, Garcia isn't allowed to fight again until April 2025, which makes fans wonder if a showdown with Crawford is really coming up. Terren Crawford recently talked about what Ryan Garcia thinks about boxing and what's going on in the sport right now. He hinted that he could say many things about Ryan, but chose not to. Crawford said that the sport needs to change, which suggests that there will soon be a change in how boxing works. Terrence Crawford has been eagerly seeking a high-profile fight with Canelo Alvarez in order to make a big money and leave a lasting impression. Crawford just won easily against Errol Spence Jr. and Israel Madramov has said he wants to fight Canelo because he thinks it will not only boost his reputation but also make him a lot of money. However, talks have broken down because of disagreements over money. Canelo's team has set a high price for the fight and the money issues are said to be a big reason why the fight hasn't happened yet. Turkey Al-shik asked Canelo Alvarez to fight, but Alvarez didn't like how he was approached. Alvarez made it clear that he had achieved his job success on his own, not because of anyone else's help.

[00:16:49]Canelo made it clear that he was now free to make his own choices, and if Alshik wanted to work with him, it would have to be on his terms, not theirs.

[00:16:58]Canelo may be asking for too much money for this fight to be possible right now.

[00:17:02]Even though Crawford wants to get this mega fight, Eric Rascin pointed out that while Israel Madramov's unusual style made things hard for Crawford, Canelo Alvarez's more normal style might give him more chances. But Raskin quickly said that this doesn't mean Crawford will beat Canelo. It just means the fight will be tough. He made it clear that Crawford probably won't have an easy win, but that a fight between the two would be very exciting and competitive.

[00:17:30]>> Was ringside um when Mad Madimoff won um uh titles his last won his last fight.

[00:17:37]That was to the title, wasn't it? That was his shot at the title. Um he was very good. I mean, I've seen him on TV, but you know, when you see him up close, I always I always soak up a little bit more when you see titles up close. He's very, very good. Powerhouse, yes. Um, clever, yes. Boxing ability, yes. Um, Crawford is going in right at the top level at 15, but it's not like he's gone up another weight division. Thought, you know what? I'll dab me to it. I've been out for a while. I'll just I'll just see how see how it is in these cool waters.

[00:18:14]He's got >> because he wants to fight Canelo Alvarez so badly. Crawford has been taking risks that some might consider reckless. After retiring and not fighting for a year, Crawford doesn't have the time to slowly work his way up to the 154-lb division because he has his sight set on a possible fight with Canelo in 2025. His Excellency Turkey Al-shik wanted to fight Israel Madramov and Crawford had no choice but to agree at this point in his career since a year of inactivity was hurting him. Crawford is taking on duties that a boxer his age and coming off a layoff would normally avoid. He needs to fight Madrimov to get closer to the big money fight with Canelo. Joel Diaz also spoke about Madrimov and said that when he's in the ring with you, he's very difficult to understand. He said that you can watch a movie about Israel and form an opinion, but it's completely different when you're in the ring with him. Madramov was a tough opponent because of the way he used his unusual style. Although Crawford has fought other Eastern European fighters, Diaz said Madramov's sparring with Dmitri Bval was impressive. I saw him in the ring spar against Dmitri Byal when he was getting ready for Canelo. Diaz said, "I was amazed. This kid is 154 pounds and he's fighting a 175 pounder and he's doing great. Dan Rafael talked about the fight between Terren Crawford and Israel Madramoff, which went well for Crawford. He talked about how exciting and important it was to fight in the past, which set a better standard. Dan Rafael talked about Crawford's move to the 154-lb division, pointing out how dominant and well-known he is in that weight class. He said that Crawford would probably be favored over everyone else in the division, naming fighters like Sebastian Fondora, Tim Sou, Israel Madramoff, and Geral Charlo as examples," Rafael said. Adding to the excitement, he talked about how the fight would be tense because the title was on the line. Rafael was excited and said, "It's an interesting fight with an open title and they're going to make a big deal out of it." When Rafael talked about Madrimov, he remembered how impressed professionals were with him when he made his debut and saw that he had the ability to be the best in the sport in the future. Each fighter grows at their own speed, so it was fine to match him up more boldly when he first started out. Rafael also saw that Crawford and Madramov didn't seem to be very different in size during their fight, which may have surprised some people given the weight class change.

[00:20:47]>> Phenomenal. Best switch hitter since Marvin had.

[00:20:49]>> Yes. Yes, he tried to promote that fight and he had a choice like we all do and he chose to do what he need to do and he was successful with it. Absolutely. A technical technical serious mentally strong and definitely can be around as long as he want to.

[00:21:11]>> Yeah, badass. Yeah, he's a bad man. And there's there's a good crop of people.

[00:21:18]Lastly, Raphael said that Crawford was a great boxer and that his skills put him in the running for the Hall of Fame. He called Crawford a gift that will last for generations.

[00:21:28]Dave Coldwell, a well-known boxing teacher and commentator, talked about Israel Madram's performance and emphasized how hard Terren Crawford has it coming up. Coldwell, who is in the ring for Madram's title fight, talked about the tough opponents Crawford will face as he moves up in weight.

[00:21:46]Coldwell talked about Crawford's move to a heavier weight class. He stressed that even though Crawford is very skilled, he can still be hit, which may become even more important at heavy weights.

[00:21:57]Coldwell's comments show that Crawford is skilled, but the extra challenges of fighting at a higher weight class could make the difference in this match. Joe Rogan and Bernard Hopkins talked about Terren Crawford and said that he was one of the most exciting boxers to watch.

[00:22:13]Both of them agreed that Crawford is a great switch hitter. Hopkins even said that Crawford's ability to switch stances was similar to Marvin Hagglers.

[00:22:22]They knew that Crawford had made the right choices to market and carry out his fight well, showing both technical skill and mental toughness.

[00:22:30]Ryan when he said he's going to bot him, he's not going to get into his emotions and try to show Bravo like he's getting to a >> Bernard Hopkins talked about Ryan Garcia's ring plan and how he thought Ryan would use his skills in a fight.

[00:22:46]When Ryan made a move, Hopkins told him to keep his head down and be careful like a mouse. He told Ryan not to look for anything else. Hopkins thought Ryan would use all of his strengths to the fullest in the fight. Don't focus on length or speed. Don't enjoy your job.

[00:23:02]And don't be the mouse with your head down looking for something. Keep it down. Hopkins kept talking about Ryan Garcia's good points and told him to stay calm and sure of himself in the ring. Because he was too sure of himself, he tried to shoot out the other boxer and took the damage. Hopkins saw how fighters can think they are in charge only for Ryan to take advantage of their arrogance. There are good things about both fighters, but it's still not clear whether Ryan's speed and power can beat Crawford's technical skill and experience.

[00:23:33]What do you think? Ryan's strength and youth are up against Crawford's skill and adaptability.
