Comments Thread For: Ryan Garcia labels Shakur Stevenson 'a bum'

[TheOneAboveAll]

Shakur has had all but 3 fights at 135. His debut at 135 was against Yoshino and he KO’d him in 6 rounds. So two fights later at 135 and he hasn’t looked impressive?
Anyone at 135 fighting De Los Santos is NOT going to look impressive. Neither Tank nor Haney will beat De Los Santos easy. If anything, Haney will get beat up by him.
Shakur is 27 years old and has won titles at three weight classes, are you relegating him to a “hype job”?

It's just his style that most people hate, and his punchable face.

Both guys are bums! Shakur has all the talent in the world, but has no balls. He thinks he's already arrived and is on the same level as Ward and Mayweather. And his fangirls and other ignorant clowns think that people hate him because they think that his critics don't know boxing, or even worse, because of race, which is a joke. While I have never fought in the ring, I have more than likely forgotten more about boxing than half of you casuals on this site. And, just a reminder to you mouth breathers, boxing is about hitting and not getting hit, but Shakur seems to have forgotten about the hitting part, which is why I, and I presume others find him boring and hard to watch. And, for Garcia, he's always been a clown. He is a social media whore with a good left hook, and that's it.

oh it's good to hate. it the human condition

I respectfully disagree. It is a human emotion, not a condition. Reasoning is what differentiates us from most animals. Most animals react without reasoning, we as fellow humans have the capacity to think before reacting in a negative manner. Racism/Hate is taught or learned. Toddlers/Children do not hate other kids that are of different color or creed. If a child is raised in a healthy loving household and is taught to value and respect all, the chances are pretty high that said person will treat others as he/she was treated.

One can get angry for being hurt or disrespected and can react with violence or vulgarity, but racist tirades aren't the result of an angry reaction in my opinion. Having said that, I understand that we are all entitled to our own opinions so we can respectively agree to disagree...

I disagree with the bolded, but I find it hard to disagree with everything else....

Yeah, I was a little harsh, lol. I don't think that Shakur is a bum, nor do I think that he's scared of any of the other fighters in and around his weight class. But, I do think that he's scared of losing his '0', and he certainly doesn't seem to want to put in the work like all of the great fighters that came before him, that did put in the work. It seems like he is trying to cruise by on his talent, but obviously it takes more than just talent to achieve what I assume that he wants to achieve. But, make no mistake, I am heavily critical of him lately, but not because I'm a hater, but because it's frustrating as a fan to see such a talented fighter seem to do the bare minimum to get the W, and gets defensive when criticized, yet it's those same fans and critics that will buy his PPVs and pad his bank account.
But, when it comes to Garcia, I am much more critical, and while I don't 'hate' him, I certainly don't think much of him. And the fact that he couldn't care less about what I think, isn't lost on me, lol.

Gone are the good ole days when Boxers didn't have that fear, what a shame!

Yesterday, Ryan was rubbishing Crawford, today he is doing it to Shakur. To me, it seems like:
- Ryan is just jabbing, jabbing other high profile fighters
- trying to stay relevant and visible on social media
- building up to big money fights for next year when his ban expires in April

A random poster saying someone isn’t a great businessman whose net worth is 50 million….hmmm something isn’t adding up here.

his handlers are great businessmen. He’s just along for the ride. Just read the script Ryan. All you gotta do
