Ryan Garcia has a word of caution for women on social media ... beware of boxers!
The WBC welterweight champ chopped it up with TMZ Sports this week at an open workout for his huge upcoming fight with Conor Benn ... and we had to ask King Ry about the biggest scandal in sports -- Daejon Love.
The fugazi Niner seemingly had no problem finding his alleged victims -- he's accused of defrauding 26 women out of $1.3 million -- but Garcia says it's even easier to pretend to be a fighter because "anybody can say they're a boxer."

It's hard to tell exactly what this wild criminal is up to ... but he rattled around in the car for a while -- before heading on his merry beary way. In his defense, maybe he thought it was his Su-bear-u.

The sale comes as Aubrey starts a new chapter with actor Christopher Abbott.

Aubrey was recently seen holding the newborn in New York City after attending Christopher's final performance in "Death of a Salesman."
D4vd apparently made a pen pal while behind bars ... one whom it appears he initially agreed to help bail out -- before backing out of his promise.
We've obtained letters D4vd sent to a "trustee," an incarcerated person who works inside the prison, who worked at a jail in Los Angeles. This trustee met D4vd while serving food in the joint ... becoming friendly before D4vd started writing him letters. We're told they would mail out the letters even though they were in the same facility.
You can read the letters for yourself ... they are religious in tone with D4vd writing that he's putting his faith in God and telling a fellow inmate to do the same.

Kenny Smith admits the NBA went straight for the Clippers' neck, but he doesn't think the punishment was excessive ... when you consider Steve Ballmer's team skirted the rules in a major way!
TMZ Sports spotted the hooper-turned-analyst at LAX on Friday, and asked him whether The Association went too hard.
"You're gonna have to suffer consequences for that kind of behavior," Smith told us.
"You're vehemently cheating. You're not just toeing the line. You're actually cheating and you're cheating at a high level. You're circumventing the salary cap. You're giving yourself an unfair advantage that no one else has, and you have to have severe penalties for that or other people will say, 'Well we can do it.'"
Jim Thornton's Facebook account has gone dark hours after he was fired from "Wheel of Fortune" ... and TMZ has learned the former announcer has also been scrubbed from the game show's social media channels.

The page also included photos of Jim making school appearances, along with more personal shots of his wife and son.
Alan Jackson -- the big-time defense attorney who represented Karen Read in Massachusetts during both her criminal trials -- says he sees similarities between her case and Lindsay Clancy's .... especially in the controversial way both were handed a mistrial.
Jackson joined us on "TMZ Live" Friday shortly after a Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court justice upheld the mistrial ruling ... and he says the justice system in Massachusetts going after Lindsay again and failing to get a conviction would be a serious black eye.
He says he felt it was a "travesty" when Karen's case ended in a mistrial the first time ... adding he didn't understand when the judge didn't poll individual jurors to see if they'd come to some type of verdict.
Rachel Tussey's doctor has been countersued by the JourneyLite surgery center, which argues there's no way she overdosed because she didn't respond when Narcan was administered.
JourneyLite filed the counterclaim this week ... claiming it is still investigating the influencer's death -- and therefore has refrained from public comment on the case.
In contrast, JourneyLite says Dr. Shahryar Torkhas engaged in "reckless and even intentionally misleading" rhetoric about the case in the months since Rachel passed ... specifically citing an April press conference in which he blasted JourneyLite.
