Roy Jones Calls Ryan Garcia “The New Canelo”, Fury vs. AJ News & Crawford Faces the Boots Noise

On this episode of HALL OF GAME, Andre Ward and Roy Jones Jr. are back to break down Ryan Garcia’s round 2 TKO win over Conor Benn, why big weight cuts aren’t a flex, and the difference between criticism and hate. Pitbull Cruz wants next, while Roy wants to see Ryan solve the Shakur Stevenson puzzle, and Dre explains why the Devin Haney rematch still matters.

Plus, Pitbull’s knockout of Nestor Bravo sparks a disagreement: was Bravo looking for a way out, or had he simply reached his level? Plus, Dre and Roy break down David Benavidez vs. Jai Opetaia and explain why Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua belongs in front of the UK fans.

To cap off the discussion, Dre reflects on nine years of retirement as Terence Crawford faces pressure over Boots Ennis. Dre knows what it’s like to have your résumé questioned after you walk away. Roy explains why the competitive fire never leaves, and why talking back can pull a retired fighter into a fight he never intended to take.
