Wtf? Ryan took constant step ups from year to year. His only issue was inactivity. Fonseca, Tagoe, Fortuna and Campbell were the perfect stepping stones to the world level. Ryan just happened to fight someone better than him. Big deal, he took a loss. Now he can take a step back and work on his flaws again. Dude is only 24.
Luke was always trash, when he fought loma and when he fought ryan too. He has just never been good enough.
I think it is a good analysis. Specially throwing him there with a rehydratation clause. Throwing him there is actually bad enough, but thowring him there condeding some advantages.... it's even worse. I think people understimate gervonta, this guy is a real talent, a really big real talent.
This. Ryan pushed for the wrong guy, he should have chased Haney instead (especially when he was WBC mandatory). Ryan may well have been totally outboxed by Haney, but a guy with no power and having been wobbled in the past is a winnable fight. Unfortunately Ryan chased the accurate hard-hitter who has never been known to have a suspect chin in Davis, and Oscar let him do it.
Man after all the **** Ryan talked for years that was predictably pathetic, I even said it live he's going to get caught since he's over zealous & then it happened, The funny thing is you had multiple interview's including from Experienced Boxers themselves telling him what not to do & then Ryan goes out there & does just the opposite from Round 2, With how his HOF trainer & father were talking beforehand you would think they would have at least got that one message through to him by now
Never was, Goosen just hangs with the right guys in the higher up places in Boxing & has been doing it for years while portraying humbleness that alone goes a long way in this game! Perhaps now people will see it, Hall Of Fame they say!?
