    Anderson's whole career has been fool's gold. He looks good against terrible fighters. His punching power and skills are not elite. The Martin fight told the tale for those who admitted it. Martin was never a top tier guy, and by the time Anderson fought him he was way past his best years. Another few second and Martin would have KO'd him.

    Anderson is just not a champion level talent. He is charismatic and athletic so they have tried to build him into a contender. He doesn't have the talent unfortunately.

      Bob is always saying the truth until he decides he wants a different truth. Bob doesn't like women's boxing until he likes women's boxing, Bob doesn't like Saudi fights until he likes Saudi fights, Bob likes Jared's chances until he doesn't like the matchup...

      Bob says he will rebuild Anderson until he decides it's easier to feed him to another prospect. Anderson still has value so TR will keep him around but the moment he doesn't have value, Ol' Bon will cut him from the roster.

        He’s having growing pains. But he also signed a contract. He can let it expire and if he gets into some trouble after that he’s on his own. TR won’t be there. Better not blow all your money dude.

          Can’t blame the man when JA sounding like he doesn’t want box. TR will do what is best for the company if JA doesn’t want to be fed to a prospect he should be dedicated to his craft or stop signing contracts. My advice to him would be to uphold your end.

            Hes still young, Dubois has shown that its possible to rebuild after rough losses.

            Its obviously very good for boxings mainstream profile to have American HW stars in the mix.

            Out of a country of 330 million people the possibility of producing a great HW is completely ruined because of two sports leagues that have about 2000 people total in them, many not HW sized and/or not American? really?

              Completely agree. No blame cast, Bob always does what he thinks is best for TR, even if they means he has to do a 180 on any given position.

              The red flags were there regarding Anderson well before the Bakole fight. The comments about an early retirement, the Martin fight, speeding tickets with firearms, etc.

                Bob wants to be in business with Turki, and Turki didn't only wave money at Jared! He waved it in Bob's face, and Bob let Jared run into a buzzsaw! On another note, anyone who is under 25, and already thinking about life after Boxing, should probably not be in the sport!

                  Spot on. Bob likely has revisionist history on this one... acting like TR was vehemently against the Bakole fight but it was all Jared's greed to blame. Bob knew what would likely happen but he was willing to go through with it to make His Excellence happy.

                    Bob took the money & chucked Anderson under the bus.

                    Also Bob "yesterday I was lieing, today I'm telling the truth"

                    The sooner Turkish buys boxing the better, getting rid of all these leach promotions that do nothing.

                      Idk man, I overlooked Martin after his loss to Hunter. But he has been on a tear lately. In his last 4 fights he’s taken the 0 from 3 decent contenders. I think he could mix it with the top guys for sure. He would be a live dog against AJ, Dubios, Fury.
