DSG to Ríos: "F*** 'em"

I don't think anyone really hates Danny (like say Pac/Floyd/AB/Ward/Kovalev). In fact, he's quite likable on camera and probably a really cool ass dude in person. But he does cherrypick and he has received gifts.

 

How exactly was Rios a fraud? With Rios, you knew what you were getting. A straight up, attack minded, offense first with little to no defense fighter. I can't recall anyone trying to sell him as anything else.

 

He was billed as a "Mexican style" fighter. Is Mexican style just standing there and swinging your arms and having a solid chin or does it involve any skill at all. Rios is a undisciplined mess who was in the sport at the right time when the lower weights still had a few legends names to live off while trying to build new stars. Rios is nothing more than a street brawler who likes to fight. He hasn't been in fighting shape in about 5 years, he has been given gift decisions just to prop him up, and he doesn't take his position serious and I'm against any fighter who doesn't take the job serious because they are blocking someone else from being in that position who WANTS TO SUCCEED!
That's why I dislike Rios, Broner, Povetkin, Arreola, Stivern, and anyone else who refuses to stay some sort of shape for their career.

 

I love Danny. He doesn't cherrypick. He fought a big puncher like Matthysse and beat him convincingly. He fought Thurman who is undefeated and almost beat him. He beat Rios by ways of TKO. So he'll be the World Champion at 147 again soon. Mark my words.

 

Sorry, man, that didn't sound insincere at all.

 

I see! The fact that a fighter lets himself go or doesn't take the sport seriously is considered a fraud in your book. I understand your point.

 

Manny and Garcia are on two different paths in boxing. Manny is drifting into retirement (hopefully) and Garcia is making another run to establish himself as the top welter.

Fighting Alvarado is disgraceful but Manny should be fighting freak shows or cash fights at this stage cause he is done

 

You are about as funny as a rubber cructh in a Polio ward!

 

Danny is a G!!!

 

Danny is my dude at WW. Ill ride with him till he retires, but he ain't lying. Anybody who could step foot in the ring, be a world champion and have success in this tough sport deserves all the credit in the world. Rios put up a great effort, one of his best in years but imo and as a fan of Rios is like for him to retire. Nothing left to prove or accomplish.

 

Case and point, maybe your hyper analytical mind clouds your judgement of some of the more obvious genuine and organic reactions that us humans do from time to time. I never once said that I paint Danny in a good light, to be honest I respect his craft but other than that I don’t co-sign his every move.

I can’t see how any hidden agenda on Danny’s part cannot be inherently compartmentalized in order to reveal a true empathetic reaction and verbal response for a fellow fighter. Wear the other shoes even if you’re 1-3% of the population big guy.
