Ganigan was born September 3, 1952, in Waipahu, Hawaii.
Ganigan captured the NABF lightweight title by scoring a TKO in 8 rounds over Vicente Mijares on March 28, 1978. He lost that title to Johnny Lira on a 6-round KO on August 1, 1978, but recaptured the crown from Mijares on March 27, 1979, by winning a unanimous 12-round decision. Ganigan also won the World Athletic Association (WAA) lightweight crown by scoring a KO in 2 rounds over Sean O'Grady on October 31, 1981.
Ganigan then challenged legendary boxer Alexis Argüello on May 22, 1982, for the WBC lightweight crown. Ganigan knocked Arguello down in the first round, but was KOed in round 5. Ganigan's last fight was an unsuccessful attempt to take the USBA lightweight crown from Jimmy Paul on June 6, 1983. Paul stopped Ganigan on a 6-round TKO.
He was inducted in to the Hawaii Sports Hall of Fame in 2000.
An attack in 2010 left him severely injured, and he never fully recovered. Ganigan died of liver cancer in Las Vegas on May 2, 2012.
