No. He's done at the top level. Maybe if he could be fed opponents like Tony Harrison that he could steamroll, I could see him continuing, but he's almost 30 and lacks the defensive skills and self-awareness to prevent this from happening again. Fans like you who lied to him and filled his head with a lot of corner saloon tough guy nonsense are partly to blame.

If he fights again, his next opponent should be an Ericson Lubin or Jack Culcay type, just to see where his mind and spirit are. If he can't handle that level of opponent, no sense in moving to Vegas and continuing. If he's getting shelled at 154 like this by Murtazaliev, imagine what happens at middleweight against guys like Sheeraz, Lara and Alimkhauly.

You sound absurd. You're talking like Lubin is food. And how the hell am I to blame for his loss? He had an entire lifetime to be shaped mentally into the fighter that he is. He didn't come to be Tim Tszyu based on boxingscene blog comments. Do you smoke hard or do u smoke ice? Because you're talking straight outta your ass. That's like blaming me for your girl cheating on you. It's not me, it's because you can't fu...k niccca

Lubin is a journeyman with zero power who was gifted a decision vs. Ramos.

It's fan boys like you who gas up "Billy Bad Ass" fighters like Tszyu and Josh Taylor who eventually get exposed for the one-trick ponies that they've always been.

You should try some of what I smoke ~ it might clear the fog in your brain.

Boxing fans need to raise the bar when it comes to respect for the athletes in this sport.

Why are you naming these overseas fighters, do you think I'm British or Aussie or something? Do you think I'm a huge fan of either? You got me all the way f....ked up. And you're saying everyone got exposed. Can you box? You don't know a left hook from a fishing hook. You're the one who's exposed. You can't punch your way out of a wet paper bag

I've been watching boxing since 1973, son. I honestly don't give AF where you're from. I simply recognize fan boys when I see them. You sir, were a Tszyu fan boy and now your antennas are crossed because he got exposed and face-planted. Imagine if they were foolish enough to put this cave man in with Bud Crawford...

Let lil Timmy go steamroll a few journeymen like Lubin next. Or maybe a Tony Harrison rematch. Hahahahahaha!

You been watching boxing since 1973, but yet you say lots of disparaging things about boxers. You don't respect boxers or what they go through. You call them bums, you say they "got exposed", you say other fans are "fan boys" because they may like a certain guy who you obviously don't like.
So that tells me that 50 years of "watching" boxing hasn't taught you anything. You don't know sh..t about boxing

I respect Tszyu. I never called him a bum because he's not. What I said was that he was a it overrated. Why do you think Spence and Thurman were so anxious to fight him?

Son, I've forgotten more about boxing than you will ever know. You're angry at me because your little Aussie 'Billy Bad Ass' action hero got exposed.

I don't know what you know or what you forgot, but when I was a teen, I was collecting fight films like other kids collect video games or comic books. I have over 1000 vhs tapes and 200 dvd's with nothing on them but boxing from one end to the other, each one labeled and card filed with index cards in alphabetical order. I knew all the old film collectors and i have many fights that are crystal clear that came straight off 8mm and 16mm reels. I have things you never saw before. Plus I've read many books on boxing history, plus I actually boxed. So basically, I know what all the old fighters were like in the ring because I have them on film, I've read the history, and I boxed myself. And this was all ever since I was a teenager. So I'm not the casual that you think I am

In my teens, I collected boxing pubs and Marvel comics. A stressful Friday was deciding whether to buy a comic book or boxing pub. By my junior year in college, I had four large boxing of boxing pubs ~ KO, Boxing Digest, World Boxing, International Boxing, Ring. I started collecting in 1974 around the time Ali and Carlos Monzon were becoming popular. My father boxed in the 82nd Airborne. His favorite fighters were SRR, Joe Louis and Willie Pep.
