Comments Thread For: Garcia: I See Gervonta As Sonny Liston; Don't Really Love Boxing, Loves The Money

[Combat Talk Radio]

I think everyone is missing one point.

These are supposed to be PRIZEFIGHTERS.

Any fighter that disputes this, fine. Fight for free to prove that you don't care about the money.

If Tank is Liston then Santa Cruz is Muhammad Ali!

After Leo wins he will shout out "I shook up the world!"

No he doesn't. He just said that Garcia should get a belt first before fighting him.

As of today he said . Send a offer. No one at elite level is gonna turn down a fight with Ryan.

Fighters today fight not to lose at all costs rather than win at all costs. You are right, when bigger fights happen they are almost always a let down. Boxers in 2020 are divas.

I dont think thats it, and I dont think "boxers" "fight" any different today than "boxers" "fought" many years ago. The real reason it is lame now, that reason is a not a new thing. Now back when it was more entertaining, I have to assume Doctors are correct, that its too violent to exist, which makes more sense now that I understand the situation versus what I thought I was looking at before, so Im not saying its not a nuanced situation or that it was better back when "boxing" was actually an entertaining intense competition for spectators to watch, Im just saying the fact is it's not now and I dont think it has been for, uh, awhile.......

thats 2 equally matched opponent sometimes cancel each other out maybe with neither risking themselves too much

Nah, but that makes a good excuse, Im sure Max Kellerman has probably used it before. If not that one, there will always be others. But what is the REAL reason? I have my opinion, but I respect yours as well, I just see other thing.

Welp they are "prize fighters" do I really don't see an issue of loving the money and seeing boxing as just a job.
