Ryan has fought his 2 best opponents in his last 2 fights. Granted you can argue he shoulda stepped up sooner, but he's moving in the right direction & seemingly will continue to if this rumored July fight with Linares happens.Comment

100%. In his defense that BJS fight falling thru wasn't on him, but still there are more mfers out there to fight. I think Andrade, not unlike Farmer & I suspect not unlike Mikey & Devin, he's just cashing those sexy DAZN checks for the least risk til they go away or he's pushed into a bigger fight. Bank account wise in a dangerous sport idk if that's an awful move all roads considered.Originally posted by NORMNEALON View PostComment

Demetrius Andrade and Billy Joe Saunders.
Crawford definitely needs to step up.
Isn't Ryan Garcia like 20 years old?
Devin Haney, how old is he, didn't he just turn the legal age to drink alcohol?
Wtf is up with this forum?
F/ck it, Ryan Garcia vs Gennady Golovkin, winner fights Tyson Fury at HW, with an undercard of Devin Haney vs Errol Spence, winner fights Artur Beterbiev at 175lbs.
Bring on the good fights.Comment

Ramirez would probably be on my list too. For 2 seconds I thought he was the #1 guy in his division but in the years since then he's done very little to up his status or to keep the formerly favorable opinion I had about him with his opposition.Originally posted by chrisJS View PostComment

Yea agree. I'm alot more in the give them time column with young prospects stepping up. I'm a fan of the guys who do step up quick & I'd like it if boxing worked in a way that winning fights moved you up quicker, but it doesn't currently so I'm understanding of that reality. And the thing is in this era I think there are more top 3, top 5 guys who need to step up than ever before so let's dig them a lil more & focus on the prospects less particularly when they are so young.Comment

There's so much bs in the business of boxing these days I bet a lot of guys grow cynical early on. I definitely think Andrade knows the ups & downs of the business end. I mean to me he just seems sorta dumb, but from his POV he probably just feels he's lost opportunities cuz of HBO, Jay Z & his sketchy ass promoter. Now that Eddie has taken an interest in him these 7 digit checks for fighting top 50 guys is just an insurance policy for his post-boxing life til that cash out fight comes along. And as long as he keeps winning history suggests it'll come eventually more often than it won't. If his greatness gets tested that's just an extra plus for him I imagine.Originally posted by NORMNEALON View PostComment
