Boxers you talked sh.t about but changed your mind with one fight?

Honestly Garcia has shown me something with some of his recent KOs. He is better than I thought.

Ryan Garcia? Good. His chin might deceive him in a shootout fight.

Wlad. Been a critic almost all his career. The Joshua fight changed everything. The only time I saw the dog in him.

LOL same.

I liked Wlad early on truthfully. I thought it was compelling there were two brothers trying to navigate the HW ranks. When Wlad finally got his time to shine much later on I thought it was largely uneventful & wasn't a fan by this time. Then that AJ fight went down & I'm not sure I've ever seen a better fight in a losing effort to retire on. I think that fight changed AJ too which cats don't even talk about all that much.

I think Manny would be in here to for me. I'm from GR & been a fan of Floyd since he was that kid who's father fought SRL. So when all this Floyd vs Manny fanboy & hater wars were 50%+ of boxing forums it was hard to openly respect both of these guys for the legends they are. Once they finally fought it felt like I could finally like Manny for how good he was.

Pacquiao. It wasn’t until his second fight with Morales that I became a fan. I was a MAB and RJJ fan back then.

Good. I like that kinda raw humanity, saying what you mean, emotionally.

I've been a fan of Davis since the get, and many people tried to shame me into not liking him, and not having his avatar, but their talk didn't even register. As long as I'm a boxing fan, I'll support him.

Hey man, it's good to be authentic. Gervonta is a talented guy. If he continues to impress going forward, you will look like a fortune teller on that one.

Ryan Garcia? Good. His chin might deceive him in a shootout fight.

As you said, there are some guys who I am not sure how much 'dog' they have in them. He is one of them. Sometimes if you have no chin, you can't be a dog anyway. Looking at you, Amir.

Andrade is another guy for me who I question his 'dog'

Great post, bro. On both counts. I used to be a big Loma fan, too, until all the Euro haters targeted Davis.

That's how I feel about Ryan too. If you have no chin, no dog. Amir had a big dog in him but a weak one. I never really acknowledge Andrade. He's nonentity in boxing.

And of the Charlo brothers, I'm more of Jermall fan, because Jermell beat my boy Lubin. Of the two, I think Jermell has the bigger, better dog in.

Ray Leonard believe it or not. I hadn't seen many of his fight early in his career. I knew he was good but I thought he was hyped up by the media. In the first Duran fight he showed me that he was for real.

Canelo before the second GGG fight.

I actually always liked Canelo, but I did talk a lot of sht about him. But now, he's the real deal in my eyes, p4p #1.
