      Exactly. You don't blame things that's been part of human behavior since time immemorial. You''ve seen it in Gladiator movies.

      You lose, and some in the audience would cheer because they rooted for it to happen. If you can't take it, then boxing is not for you. Simple as that. People didn't force you to be in this profession. You did.

        I don’t mean that they are worried about losing/being humiliated before they go into the sport. What I mean is that WHEN they lose (IF they lose), that more than the pain they might be feeling, it’s the embarrassment of being pummeled in front of the whole world and being cheered for you having been pummeled that stings much more…ditto for those that hang around too much around social media.

        I’m sure Haney was hearing the whispers for the better part of a year and a half since his loss to Ryan.

        Can you imagine Shakur or Claressa Shields taking an L? They’d be forced to do a social media purge.

              So have the Charlos retired? Doesn't make sense asking for tuneups at this late stage of their careers getting paid peanuts. Granting they get their tuneup fights, then what? Spend another year for the next fight?

                I don't know man. They're certainly not getting any younger. They need huge lucrative fights at this stage of their careers. Tuneups are a waste of time. The paycheck is not even enough to cover training expenses. Just imagine all that effort doing all that training with zero net income. Then what? Wait for another year?

                    They need lucrative fights if they want to come back. Nobody says they deserve lucrative fights.
