    Hardy hasn't played football since 2015. Since then he's had:
    3 amateur MMA fights
    13 pro MMA fights
    2 pro boxing fights including this one against Rahman
    a contract with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (no fights yet, but he's been in training)

    He's been a full time fighter for several years at this point.

    Yes, it's sad that Rahman lost to a much less experienced fighter. But the keyword there is fighter. He didn't just lose to a random football player. He lost to a legitimate pro fighter than is 100 pounds larger.

      Rahman has been boxing for over 14 years...you think Jared Anderson, Rich Torrez or even a smaller man like Usyk would have lost to a fat, out of shape Hardy?

        Rahman is barely a professional boxer - he's a guy with a famous name fighting cabdrivers off that name for attention. Just like all of Tommy Morrison's bum ass kids or Nico Ali Walsh or Tommy Fury.

        They're not even journeymen or gatekeepers. Jake Paul would probably knock them out one by one in a Prizefighter setting.

          I think he did good in the first round. And what about the size of the ring? There was literally nowhere to hide

              Outboxed Spyder who made a monkey out of Jr Chavez. Keep in mind Jake has zero fight experience in boxing or MMA, and done a number on them and making more $$$ than 95% of boxers.

              I can see why U got such an inferiority complex with U boys getting waxed monthly. Hang in there and maybe Jake eventually gets flattened and someone will give U a medal if U can find someone with a chest to pin it on...
              Lmao! What in the F**K are you talking about, man?! Absolutely nothing you said has anything to do with the substance of my post.

              Of course your hero can beat washed up MMA fighters and stuff.

              In my post, I stated that it is MY OPINION Spence, Bud, and the elite PROFESSIONAL BOXERS at 154, 160, 168, and 175 end this ignorant fiasco.

              The way it spoke made it sound like you somehow feel you corrected me or something. Whatever helps you sleep at night, dude.

                I like Greg Hardy. Dude’s poker face reminded me of Big George just taking his time demolishing dudes, patiently. Thing is a lot of fans are naive. An NFL player like Hardy knows EXACTLY what hard impact is all about. NFL players endure just as much pain as do boxers imho, and all those shockwaves affect the brain as well.

                im actually a fan of Hardy now. I’d like to see him against a real Heavyweight. He’s earned that purse.

                  Even if you start listing off all the smaller fighters who beat a bigger foe, they’re still exceptional, no matter how many examples you list.

                  Also, this guy isn’t necessarily new to combat sports. That was his second boxing fight, and he has 13 MMA fights.
                  They are both heavyweights aren't they?
