Garcia originally had plans to face Ruslan Provodnikov in an exhibition on Saturday, but the event has since been postponed, and the plan is to lock in a new date while also pursuing other exhibitions down the line.

"Swift" Garcia (38-4, 22 KOs) and "The Siberian Rocky" Provodnikov (25-5, 18 KOs) were both active 140-pound titleholders during their heyday in 2013, and perhaps they'll get to square off one day in a "what could have been" fight.

"He's never been knocked out, and even though it's an exhibition, I want to knock him out," Garcia told The Ring. "I know he won't be coming to play nice, so I'll be coming to fight, too. Just because it doesn't count on paper, it's still my reputation.

"I think it will be an entertaining fight. Our styles always make a good fight. He's a come-forward fighter, and I'm a boxer-puncher."

Provodnikov hasn't fought in 10 years and was also linked to an exhibition against Manny Pacquiao earlier this year that never came to fruition.

Garcia, a former two-division champion, certainly enjoyed a more accomplished career than Provodnikov and gave fans many memorable nights over an 18-year career that featured wins against Erik Morales (twice), Amir Khan, Zab Judah, Lucas Matthysse, Lamont Peterson, Paul Malignaggi, Robert Guerrero, and Brandon Rios. Garcia's losses came against Errol Spence Jr., Shawn Porter, Keith Thurman, and Erislandy Lara.

Garcia ended his pro career on a high note by stopping Daniel Gonzalez inside of four rounds in Brooklyn, New York, in October of last year.

One mega matchup that escaped Garcia, however, was a fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. In 2013, Garcia was featured as the co-main event of Mayweather's fight against Canelo Alvarez and beat Matthysse by unanimous decision. Garcia was under the impression that Mayweather would give him a shot after the fight, but the bout never came to be.

"The closest I ever got to fighting Floyd was when I beat Mattysse," Garcia said. "That was the fight. Basically, that was next. They were showcasing me. I thought it would be next. I thought that was the play, but it didn't happen. I liked my chances against Floyd, especially a young, hungry and stubborn Danny Garcia.

Mayweather is certainly entertaining encounters of all kinds these days, ranging from Pacquiao, Ryan Garcia, Mike Tyson and kickboxer Mike Zambidis. Earlier this week, Mayweather announced a December 19 exhibition in Bangkok, Thailand, against Matty "The Jedi" Floyd.

An exhibition against Danny Garcia isn't far-fetched if Mayweather continues looking around the landscape.

"For sure I would be interested in a Mayweather exhibition. Who doesn't want to step in the ring with Floyd?" Garcia said.

"He's one of the best boxers and biggest names of all time. I'm all about competition, regardless of the age, just to see what it feels like to share a ring with a legend. I'm always gonna be a fighter no matter what."
