Ryan Garcia hit out at two-time undisputed champion Terence Crawford in a recent rant, calling the champ an “overhyped bum.”
“Terence Crawford really hasn’t beat nobody other than Errol Spence Jr. that went through a car crash,” Garcia told Say Cheese!. “Name one guy that he beat other than Errol Spence.”
He added, “Terence Crawford is an overhyped… bum … I’m sorry, somebody gotta say it. … You f-cking suck, bro. … You’re wasting everybody’s money, you’re not entertaining you’re boring as f-ck. Come see me in the ring if you think I’m talking sh-t.”
In June, Garcia was suspended for one year after he settled with the New York State Athletic Commission following his positive tests for the performance-enhancing drug ostarine.
Garcia also forfeited his $1.2 million purse and he was fined $10,000.
