If I had been Leonard at that precise moment... I would've laughed out loud and then walked away.

Ryan Garcia made his fame by being a handsome young kid with a humongous Instagram and Tik Tok following. He calls himself "King" and wears that stupid crown on his head. Based on WHAT?? One good fight against Campbell and a predictable win over an undersized and pitiful Fortuna?? Give me a fukking break!

Problem is... many supposedly hardcore boxing fans bought into the hype. And here is probably the TBE of boxing (Leonard) being asked about Ryan becoming the face of boxing.

Whatever happened to fighters coming up through the ranks... earning their stripes... collecting high quality scalps on their way to the top... becoming famous when they FUKKING EARNED IT... ??

Yep... boxing justice was served last night. I don't care whether it was a liver shot... a lung shot... a stomach shot... or whatever organ hurt Ryan when it happened. The kid got his "Welcome to the Trenches" moment.

That crown isn't going to look so good anymore, is it...
You probably recall I was a huge Tank fan 6/7 years ago. I currently am at hater mode as I went with GGG once I realized what he was doing with his career. I turned on Tank when it became clear he was never going to fight Loma. So it’s been a few years I’ve been hating. But I could not stand the thought of Ryan becoming one of the biggest stars in the sport off what he hasn’t done.

Similar to if GGG fought Charlo how quickly I would forgive “we will never fight Charlo”, I would very quickly forgive Tank if he moved to Shakur or the Loma/Haney winner. I love to watch the guy fight, I just can’t stand his career path, same as GGG.

I feel like every fan of the sport should feel the same. Wanting guys to chase legacy and hopefully get wealthy. Not chasing wealth and if legacy comes so be it.
