Thank you for saying that about Muhammad Ali. I grew up in Louisville Kentucky. The city stopped when he died but, it wasn't always like that. My black elder family members didn't necessarily love him due to his antics but, its funny how the world changes over time. I seriously think the Ryan Garcia stuff is high risk marketing and everyone trying to diagnose the man is an armchair KZbin doctor.

Perfect analysis, one things for sure, the crazier you are the less inhibitions you have which ultimately means the more fearless you are.

I'm very happy that there are people like you that are experienced, wise and strong willed enough to tell the truth like it is but still happy to teach others. I don't pay attention to a lot of what people say so hearing people talking about the craziness of a fighter made no sense. I can't think of a single sane person that fights for a living. Loving the channel, wish you had more views

The first thing I noticed about Tank long before he came into the mainstream was his ring intelligence.... Devin's defeat was less about Ryans weight advantage, in my opinion, and more about poor fundamentals with keeping that right hand low as you pointed out.

You're truly great Sensai Sayf because only fighters notices Dev jab issues which is why I kept telling people he's gonna get caught and dropped but I didn't think Dev would keep fighting on the inside. As far as crazy I learned that deters people when they see you're willing to be absent minded in a sense

I think Ryan just isn't very smart, and he's young and naive. He also seems maybe a little sensitive and emotionally vulnerable but not crazy. He annoys me in some ways, but in other ways I like him and think he has a good heart. I like that his family is close. He comes from a very loving family. Compare that to Devin Haney's family. Devin is nice kid, but Bill Haney is an incredibly unlikeable, grandiose individual. Ryan makes himself look hypocritical when he talks about God while drinking and dope-smoking daily. He also looks hypocritical when he claims he's doing so much to help kids but yet sets a terrible example for kids by flaunting his drinking and pot-smoking. Hopefully he'll grow wiser.

Saying that on the rare occasion you lost fights that the majority of those people were crazy was comedy gold. I don't doubt the authenticity of the statement, but it's the authenticity of it that made me have a good chuckle. And how obvious but not obvious it is, on a few different levels. We hear people all the time say when they fight they go "crazy" and usually it just means they don't know what they are doing and are not a threat, yet when we know someone is crazy, well we think twice if we are sane ourselves. Hope you and family are well.

@Patrick-sy9uw: LOL! It is true. Man, one guy laughed the whole bout with blood dripping from his eye lid! The freakin guy just kept punching and won a spit decision over me. No BS. A kung fu dude that swore he was Bruce Lee! lol. I would pick him up and slam him on the hard wood floor and he would get up with a big grin on his face and just keep throwing the softest kicks I ever saw. The freakin guy got the nod and deserved it in hindsight. Full contact bare knuckle and he thought it was funny. smh.

The Garcia shell you are talking about was him turning his back! No roll and uppercut. No roll and counter cross. This forum is not a place for fans son. There are plenty other channels for that. I posted a video addressing what some people said. Overall, the sport of boxing is something I watch when I am not busy.

Ike Ibeabuchi medically insane... fantastic fighter, real what if it never happened story. Mike is a genuine enigma, for me hes "all of humanity condensed into one person". Cant picture living his life, complex guy. I always found it funny Mike is reading Tolstoy in prison, telling people dont read it "its messed up shit" LOL Lennox is going to a university to take a course, telling everyone how smart he is at any chance. For me the same things that ruined Mike also let him get to where he did, when i was in school our science teacher dropped this piece of metal into a bowl of water. It flew around burning in the water then fizzled up, he reminds me of that. Ryan might be crazy but some of what he was saying is 100% trolling, some of the other stuff might even be true i didnt read it all but we live in a world of weinstein's and epstein's.

As soon as you talked about fighters being crazy, I thought of Alì 😂 even when he was showing signs of his illness, he went in there with killers...who can stand in front of Larry Holmes taking that beating? Not many More than one person asked me why I didn't have more pro fights because I'm very technical, I tell them that when you fight a Mexican with a head of stone who takes 3 punches to land 1, that's a real fight 😂 I'm ok with just sparring from now on

Even if Ryan isn't crazy in a clinical sense, for him to sully his own public image by posing as an arrogant, loudmouthed, and delusional man is in itself crazy. Not that this in any way should bar him from fighting.

It comes with the game….Ali was known for being a quiet person but he HAD to psyche himself out with that same level of braggadocios he is known for in public Ryan stopped caring what the world thought of him and it helped him win…what he does with it in the future is up to him. I personally think he’s a good hearted kid

@saladinallah5299: Saying one person is smart does not mean that everyone else is dumb. That view is usually assumed by people who think my choice is a personal vendetta against the fighters I don't name. The fact that shorter fighters have to adjust in order to over come their disadvantage is a fact. That is not up for debate unless the fighter is a full steam ahead fighter like Mike Tyson who had a seek and destroy style. With Tank, that is not the case. He sets traps rather than just slug it out with bigger opponents. It is not to say that smart fighters don't jump on their opponents and overwhelm them, but it does not take much smarts to do it.

@@TOrganic Well we don't know how much of a "drain" it was on Haney to get to 140. And we don't know how much of a drain it was on Garcia to get to 143. Garcia was draining himself just like Haney was. He just didn't make it down to 140 (according to him because his body just won't allow him to go that low). Of course he COULD go that low, but maybe it is harder for him than Haney (or more of a drain) to get down to 140. Anyway, stop making excuses. If your excuse were really valid then it would certainly be more of an issue for the Garcia v Tank fight with Tank forcing him down to 136 and the rehydration. It was NOT the reason he lost to Tank though. People with character don't make excuses.
