    Ahh damn, i've never made a riddle! But below is my first attempt anyway lol..

    Disclaimer: Might be pretty terrible :lol::lol:

    I talked the talk, couldn't walk the walk.. down twice in 2, god I shouldn't have spoke!

    Who am I?

    (P.S. I know this could apply to many boxers, but there are clues for a specific person!)

    Nope neither of these, i'll add another clue - it's someone currently fighting, the riddle describes something from the past few years - sorry if I made this abit tricky lol, but there are keywords within the riddle to take note of :)

    "I talked the talk, couldn't walk the walk.. down twice in 2, god I shouldn't have spoke!"

    Tyson Fury?

    Talked the talk - couldn't keep it together to defend his belts against Wlad and retreated into depression.

    Down twice in 2 rounds of his Wilder fight.

    Regretted opening his mouth about his religious beliefs?

    No, but I guess that would work! I'm gonna give the answer and declare you @Holler the victor for best answer.

    The actual Answer;

    Charles Martin - with references to the AJ fight and his quote "I walk this earth like a god".

    - Talked the talk; leading up to the fight, lots of trash talk including the above quote!
    - Walk; clue for the WTELAG quote.
    - Down twice in 2; Down twice in the 2nd!
    - God I shouldn't have spoke; Added 'god' when wasn't needed, as another clue for the WTELAG quote.

    Told you it would be terrible! I'll just stick to guessing them rather than making them :lol::lol::lol:

    No it works fine, but once I'd thought of Fury I couldn't think of anyone else...

    Ok, if anyone is still playing...

    Despite my name I ain't no can
    Although for some a bore,
    'We have the technology' as oscar said,
    But little man closed the door,

    (I encased my riddle in a rhyme, the answer lies in past time)

    Adrien Broner?

    - Once referred to himself as the Can Man.
    - Some people find him boring to watch.
    - Oscar/Golden Boy Promotions.
    - Little Man closed the door; Reference to Pac schooling his ass?

    I could've posted this one on the classic forum to be honest. It's not someone who is in any way current. I don't have great hope that anyone will get it.

    I pass when I fail. I win when I lose.

    Who/what am I?

    Cinnamon was the answer I was looking for. Well in English anyway.
