Ryan Garcia is coming off the biggest fight of the year and it seems like everyone is talking about him. But it’s his latest post about Floyd Mayweather that has the world buzzing even more. Last Saturday night, “The Flash” defeated Devin Haney. Haney is often compared to Mayweather because of their similar defensive boxing styles.
But those who watched Garcia’s fights would know that he did something unconventional. The Victorville native used his own version of Floyd’s Philadelphia shoulder roll to fool Haney during the match. So the question is, is this a post from Garcia thanking the five-division champion? Spoiler alert – that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Is Floyd Mayweather funny? Ryan Garcia says so!

Turning to Instagram a few hours ago, the 25-year-old boxing sensation shared a photo of Floyd Mayweather. But it was no ordinary photo! Apparently, Garcia had FaceTimed Floyd and the photo was a screenshot of the conversation. Simple, right? no! Garcia, currently the biggest troll on the internet, spared Mayweather.
“King Lie” captioned the post, “Floyd is hilarious.” However, the photo itself had been Photoshopped to make it appear as though Garcia was on the phone with Floyd. That’s not all! He used a 50 Cent song in the post and trolled Mayweather’s relationship with the American rapper. So let’s just say fans had a lot to say when they discovered this subtle but original and hilarious find.

Another user brought up the legendary beef between Mayweather and former friend 50 Cent, asking if the retired boxer could read every page of a Harry Potter book. “Okay, but can I read a page from a Harry Potter book?” the user asked. At the height of his ups and downs, 50 Cent trolled Mayweather by demanding he read every page of Harry Potter.
Meanwhile, this user pointed out that the photo itself was Photoshopped. A user wrote: “You know this is photoshopped.” It makes sense in a way, but Garcia’s new fan base may not realize it.
Someone else highlighted the way Garcia fought against Devin Haney, claiming that Garcia used Mayweather’s Philly shoulder roll. “So I hope I’m not the only one who said his fighting style was Floyd,” the user said.

The next user brought up Gervonta Davis in the conversation and suggested that if Garcia had fought Davis at the same weight as Haney, Garcia would have won. “If Ryan fought Tank at the same weight he did against Devin, I think Ryan would win,” the user wrote. The possibility is very high, but the truth will only be revealed in a rematch.
With newfound hype, Ryan Garcia appears to be taking aim at Floyd Mayweather, trolling and criticizing him. But will Mayweather respond? Is this the start of a new beef? Will this lead to a rematch with Gervonta Davis? Let us know in the comments section below.
