Comments Thread For: Jared Anderson criticized by Top Rank matchmaker after win over Marios Kollias

He should go do whatever it is that makes him satisfied in his life. If it's not boxing it could turn out really bad for his health, physical and mental. He's not obligated to be the meal ticket for family and friends if boxing isn't his thing. Good luck to him in finding his way and staying out of trouble. Just a thought that popped into my head , Happiness isn't a thing that you find , it's a thing that you are.

I think he should take 2-3 years off and maybe be more mature as a person, he will still be really young by hvy standards and there will always be some market for a talented US hvy, considering there aren;t too many around these days. Still, he just doesnt like boxing very much.

You cant force an attraction to something, whether women, movies, professions...

Just change the focus. If you don't really love boxing, then find something you really want, like 100 acres and a micro-farm, and box to achieve it.

You can make a lot more in the ring than you'll make anywhere else, at least for now.

The criticisms are valid, but I can't remember Top Rank publicly criticizing one of their own fighters who was on his way up the way they have Anderson. It's 3 or 4 times now they've released something negative about him in the media.

Really strange - if you genuinely want him to improve, in the ring and out, these are not the kind of conversations to have in public.

Exactly , they do him way more harm than good by airing out dirty laundry in public. What happens in the family stays in the family. Jared would be smart to look for a promotion that would not do stuff like that.

Jared seems like the type to wake up at like 36 and realize he squandered an opportunity in his youth but I get it not everyone wants to bash brains in for a living

That’s a great observation and by doing that he might come to realize that there are thousands of boxers who are working tirelessly to be in his current position

I think Jared Anderson needs to decide once and for all whether he truly wants to reach his full potential.

Anderson has a tremendous opportunity as an elite professional boxer, however he simply might not have the perspective (yet) to realize that there are literally thousands of boxers toiling in obscurity who would love to be in his position.

Daniel Dubois came back, but he really likes the sport.

Problem is his heart is not in it...as well all know he said this in an interview while walking his dog. The other disturbing thing is his emotional IQ is about as bad as his intellectual IQ. Maybe he should leave the sport for 2-3 years and mature a little and then see where his head is at. Who the hell let him come in so heavy? But his defence is non-existance. He was in trouble and almost stopped at the end. One of those cases where a loss did not help him come back better.

Let him fight the other Big Baby. Loser retires.

With that said…I don’t think his heart is in it.
