    One thing I’ve noticed is that he’s been posting a lot of religious stuff on his social media lately, which I don’t recall him doing previously. It very well could be totally unrelated, but just an observation. People do oftentimes turn to religion when they are going through hard times or struggling with something.

    That was the first thing that came to my mind.

    He hangs around with a lot of people and doesn't always wear a mask or keep his distance. I would not be surprised if he caught it.

    No way a young man is grappling with demons and/or personal issues to the extent hes taking a step back to fix and recollect himself. Especially if he feels they are effecting his ability to fight at his best.

    No, thats definitely improbable. The rational and reasonable answer is that hes a coward.

    Thankfully there is an endless supply of brave and smart internet dwellers who have the courage to call this young man out on it.

    You are the real heroes.

    Is it not amazing, when did people so exhausting? Like what did this dude ever do to anybody? He’s going through some things like most people in their early twenties, good for him taking a step back and trying to right himself before he puts his life on the line in a boxing ring.

    This guy celebrated like he had just won a world title or beaten Mayweather after beating Luke Campbell. I've never seen anything like that.

    And everything is always the exact opposite of how it is presented. The great thing is, you only have to type it out and post to a forum and it becomes true. As a result it is irrefutable fact no boxer has ever been injured in camp prior to a fight. And Garcia is ducking...

    Reckon he's also batting with his sexuality. Also personally I'd throw one up his arse.

    I don’t like him, but we shouldn’t be judging him for not being at the best place in his life, it’s not like we know how his life is going. Geez

    If he feels like he needs to look after his mental ****, then he should.

    Where I come from, suicide is, and continues to be, the #1 killer of men aged 16-50

    Mainly because there's a stigma with even alluding to that **** in family culture

    So, instead of talking about it we talk about the stigma associated with talking about it, lol

    If Ryan has real problems, I wish him all the best and hope he takes the time to recover properly.

    If he is just using this as an excuse for ducking/hiding something else, I think it is a dick move to use mental health as a cover when there are far too many people in the real world who suffer from mental health issues which either do not or cannot access the help they need.

    My problem is that I don't know in which camp Ryan is but am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt
