Ryan Garcia slams Logan Paul and lifts lid on his lack of strength from sparring session

Following a sparring session with Logan Paul, boxer Ryan Garcia expressed his lack of admiration for Paul's punching prowess and questioned his and his business partner KSI's impact on boxing.

Last Saturday, Garcia shocked the boxing world and secured a majority decision victory over Devin Haney, knocking him down three times during the bout. During the match, Paul expressed apprehension regarding Garcia's well-being, citing concerns over his peculiar social media behavior and fearing he might be at risk of being "floored." 

In a conversation with his brother Jake, the siblings showed concern for Garcia's well-being in the boxing ring, fearing for his safety after saying Haney is unbeatable. When standing in the ring after his victory, Garcia took a jab at Logan's Prime drink, implying a connection between Haney's sponsorship by them and his loss.

He cautioned against fans drinking it to avoid a fate similar to Haney's. On Tuesday, footage of Garcia expressing his disdain for Paul and KSI surfaced during a podcast interview.

"They're leeches, man. They don't stand for nothing, bro," said Garcia in the interview. "I don't like people like that. These dudes are culture vultures. It's not going to hurt your brand to speak for the kids.

"And then you want to bash the man who is speaking for the kids. These dudes are cowards, demons in the flesh. That money isn't going to go anywhere but the grave, brother."

Garcia persistently criticized Paul for his opportunistic involvement in social movements, accusing him of insincerity and self-interest. Specifically, he pointed to Paul's engagement in social issues, initiatives, and discussions about white privilege as examples of exploiting social issues for personal gain. Garcia also criticized Paul for censoring religious talks on his channel, attributing this to arrogance and self-absorption.

"He's a weirdo. I'd do worse," answered Garcia on whether he would fight Logan."I'd do worse than him. I would destroy Logan Paul. I've already sparred with him. He didn't hurt me once. And he was way bigger than me, and I was whooping his a**. How long ago was this? Long a** time ago."

Garcia's animosity towards KSI intensified after his performance was criticized after his defeat to Gervonta Davis via 7th-round TKO. In retaliation, Garcia challenged KSI to confront him in the ring or refrain from discussing him altogether. 

Their verbal exchange was followed by additional public confrontations, with Garcia referring to KSI as a "7-head monster" ahead of KSI's bout against Tommy Fury and casting doubt on KSI's assertions about enduring a fight against him. At the time, Garcia favored Jake Paul, knocking out KSI. Although the fight had been rumored since 2018, it never came to light. 

After defeating Haney, Garcia has received attention from Conor Benn and UFC champion Sean O'Malley, who are calling for potential matchups. Garcia also expressed interest in moving up in weight to face Sebastian Fundora and Gervonta Davis in the future.
