    I doubt he has made enough money to retire comfortably.

    Depends on his money management. I think he’s pulled in like 4-5 million already, and Ohio isn’t exactly expensive. I think he made like 1.4 for JoJo.

    Perhaps I am. Perhaps you aren’t seeing what a loss at that high level could do to someone psychologically. He could have continued his career but didn’t. He was damaged psychologically after and never recovered.

    It wasn’t easy at all. Russell made him work hard for it.
    Loma clearly dominated in rounds, but Russell was always a thread. He forced Loma to go all out. Nothing easy about that.

    Yes but why. Perhaps you aren’t seeing what a loss at that high level could do to someone psychologically. He could have continued his career but didn’t. He was damaged psychologically after and never recovered. That is simply my belief.

    After reading a few days ago about Mike Tyson's daily workout, I'd imagine maybe Gary doesn't want to put that level of work in which is required.

    It's his own fault.

    He has no goals, no target. Not in boxing, not in life.

    Five years has passed since his first defeat. He only fought once a year and now being 31 years old. I wonder if he actually realize that he has wasted so many time or not.

    Warrington is waiting to call him out, I'm sure it'll happen in the next month.

    He also has hand issues so I'm sure that plays a part.

    I've just thought a list of this would be quite interesting
