    Lousy timing?? The guys a top level boxer

    Duarte would be hard for anyone to look good against and ryan looked levels above him

    Ryan's a really good fighter I don't understand why he gets so much hate and judgement when he clearly is at the top level and still a baby

      He's 25, how much do you think he can develop from here?

        What's OP accomplished?

        Ryan is currently pretty one dimensional, but in a weak division, that can still lead a fighter to success. So far he's been coasting on his left hook. Would like to see him at minimum develop power in both hands.

          Well it's normally exoteric knowledge for boxing fans to know that fighters hit their prime from 29 to 33 so I'd say he has a good 10 plus years of boxing top level

              Sure, but that wasn't exactly my question. Let me phrase it another way. Do you see much scope for him to improve significantly between now and when he hit his prime?

                Pricktor Ortiz. Yeah… another guy who folds under pressure!

                  Well I beleive he will gain strength and his timing will excel when he's proper prime so even with the same skills he has now he will be a bit more dangerous he doesn't need much more to compete with the top dogs

                  Technique wise I'm not sure he's just one of those reflex fighters and it's worked all but once so far so well see what happens

                    He is not a top level boxer, right now he's a prospect, a popular one but a prospect nonetheless.

                      Most of the fighters you guys make topics about them being terrible, are in fact, highly skilled. Either that, or they do somethings exceptionally well. But in the end, it still takes very good athleticism.
                      Does this apply to the fighters you hate on?
