    When are you fans going to make noise about your fighters ducking?

    Straight up when are you guys going to start speaking up against fighters you support blatantly ducking?
    Making excuses for them.

    I get sometimes its not so clear cut and it just looks like neither guy particularly wants it or both parties are blaming each other.

    But guys like Cryan Garcia and the likes that justify him ducking the likes of Devin Haney saying he's boring, he has no punching power etc
    Well you should be queuing to fight him then right?

    The whole division is ducking this guy. Time you guys realised just because you support a fighter doesn't mean they are above your criticism or you can't expect more from them! Stop giving them passes.

    Start bombarding their tvvatter accounts and all these lame social media platforms they spend their sad existences on rather than being in the gym where they should be.

    Boxing fans have sheep mentalities so if you some of you start speaking up many will follow. Its a safety in numbers thing.

    There is nothing wrong with Cryans mental health he just wants an excuse not to have to be tested. Go look at the change in his physique from just a couple of years back. He's another in that camp on that good ****! Fight Haney or retire to be an instagram model.

    You give Crawford this **** and rightfully so, now do the same for these other fighters you support! For the good of the sport, speak up!

    I never understood the Wilder and Whyte one. Wilder hates Whyte, Wilde fans hate Whyte and they all seem to think its easy work and Whyte would get embarrassed (I think I agree with them on that) but rather than see him get embarrassed they would rather not see the fight. Its always why should he or he and other nonsense.

    It's not like they would be giving Whyte a big pay day as the Brit does pretty well as it is. If I hate a fighter I'd love to watch my favourite fighter make a mess of him

      That is a great example of what I mean.

      And while Whytes name is out there he is another and there are countless examples of excuses from him also about others claiming they're too old and such then fighting opposition just as old if not older. Its just hypocritical.

      Boxing desperately needs some risk takers because its declining rapidly.

      There are room for legends to return for Youtubers to fight and all that but the lack of top fighters fighting each other or even fighting at all is very worrying for the future of the sport. I don't even mean with the pandemic I mean the countless of fighters opting to just sit out.

      Maybe I just need too accept the sports no longer for me and just to watch more and more old fights and relive those and completely forget about the current state of the sport.

        Mental health and COVID are the excuses to duck fights nowadays. It's sad.

        Ryan Garcia and his mental health issues are getting old....only because he's ducking fighters but still finds the time be Twitter fingers or whatever. He's still talking **** but hasn't been in the ring in nearly a year. I'm sure it'll be another TBD opponent on the way soon.

        My thing is, if your mental health is THAT bad, then get off the frickin' internet and social media because fans WILL ask when you're fighting again. It's just that simple. Most of them time, we can't see mental health but I wont ignore what I see here. Garcia's ducking and the mental health reason is a wall put up for fans not to question it.

        I will.

          Can’t really fault Ryan. He saw Loma avoid Haney and his fans wouldn’t criticize him for it. Instead they justified him sitting out a year to “unify”.

          So Ryan’s fans are defending him by saying Jojo brings more money than Haney, which is true. So Ryan opts out of the mando spot. Ryan also sees Tank doing everything to not fight Haney and instead do only in-house fights.

          What I take from all this is that while a lot of posters on NSB criticize Haney as weak, boring, etc etc. the boxers they like don’t agree because they are doing everything they can to avoid fighting Haney.

            Yeah idk why nobody takes the Haney fight, they must see something they don’t like - because as it stands I think all the other top guys beat him pretty handily. I really like Haney too, quite a likeable kid.
