Comments Thread For: Ryan Garcia Aims To Retire Early, Open To a Future Run in MMA

[Drigo]

Uhh kinda odd he is saying stuff like that he hasnt achieved anything in boxing yet and is thinking of retiring early 0_o

He is a big egoistic and boustful guy. May be his parents has wrong upbringing.

[Rodbox]

He’s 22 and his best win is Luke Campbell and he’s talking about retiring = YouTube generation

[petegrif]

Total bull****.

His chances against an elite MMA guy are slim to zero. If he doesn't KO the guy right away he's done. If the guy lays hands on him - it's over.

Almost got smote and thrown upon the rocks by a club fighter at 22, wants to retire at 26. The writing is on the wall foiks. Some Canelo jockstrap will come in to defend Ry Guy any minute.

Stick a fork in him, he's done and he knows it.

You must have some really good fighters at your club.

Luke Campbell is an Olympic gold medalist FFS.

"I’ll go prove to them that I’m the best fighter all around in the world"

Must still be trying to clear his head from that Cambell knockdown.

I don't have a club, too old, too busy making money. They call them gyms here not clubs. You go to clubs to dance, do drugs, and bring women home.

He was garbage in the amateurs in a bad year and a dead division (bantam lol). His record is loaded with padding. Fighting 0-0 fighters when he was 34-12: https://boxrec.com/en/amateurboxer/548957

What kind of amateur system lets you fight 0-0 fighters when you got 46 fights? A garbage amateur system, thats what.

You telling me this is the hallmark of a gold medalist? The year he won gold one of the fighters got a fixed win against that Japanese guy IN THE OLYMPICS.

Olympic gold today isn't anything like Olympic gold from when it meant something

Campbell is a C- level scrub and that's a fact. Youu can't prove to me otherwise.

Olympic boxing has always been dubious because of the corrupt individuals in charge. I guess the amateurs who beat Roy Jones and Mayweather are from the era when Olympic gold meant something. Oh and don't forget when Kevin Barry beat Holyfield on a clearly corrupt disqualification ruling from the ref.

That sucks to hear, usually when a fighter starts talking like that they start to half ass in the gym. He might get seriously hurt if he steps up again.

[InvalidUserID]

Escalating quickly. Next thing he'll outline his plan for a presidential run.

I agree with your post. The amateurs though are like the sign of the times. Back in the 80's when the AAU's were around, you could fight 2-3 times in a night with little to no headgear and smaller gloves. I fought in the mid 90's and it was 1 fight per night. I couldn't imagine fighting more than once a night and be winning all night. Those guys were cut from a different cloth. Win gold then, you a somebody.

Loads of talent everywhere, it meant something back then in the inner-city communities to box.

New York Golden Gloves is a rough place to be. I'll tell you no Open Class fighter could ever get their hands on a 0-0 when they had 46 fights, it would be murder in the ring.

The truth of the matter is, the amateurs been on a steady decline. Now don't get me wrong, there was a time whe the amateurs was hot as hell, those events sold out and there was a buzz in the community. I remember going to shows in the early 90's, fights in the crowd, it was nuts.

Now it's like peoples moms are there and kids running around.

I mean, it's still a big deal to be an amateur star, but you got to have well over 100 wins to be a real somebody in an age where the amateurs are as safe as they are today. A guy like Campbell that was 66-16 beating 0-0 fighters when he still had 50 fights, come on man. You ain't somebody getting wins like that, I don't care what color medal they give you.
