The T-Mobile tussle – which Davis is the favourite going into – will be the biggest dust-up of the duo’s respective careers.
And ex-five-weight world champion Mayweather reckons his former protege will put social media sensation Garcia to sleep in brutal fashion.
The 46-year-old boxing legend told FightHype.com: “Ryan hasn’t won a title yet.
“We don’t talk about no interim belt – that don’t count.
“And we not taking nothing away from the guy, [Javier] Fortuna, but he was just an opponent.

“I have the full package. I don’t think he has the full package with his overall ability.
“He [Garcia] doesn’t bring any concern for me to need to change up my game plan.”
Despite being confident of having his hand raised, Davis isn’t predicting an early night at the office.
The WBA (regular) 135lb champion said: “I don’t want to sound cocky.
“I wouldn’t know until I get in the ring with him – his movement, his hand speed.
“I’ll fill him out overall, break him down by his mistakes, and then we’ll get him out of there.”
