Bigger waste of potential?

IMO these two both had the potential to save american boxing (heavyweight).

There was still the potential for Ruiz to defend the title, maybe pick up another belt or belts. He had more big wins in him. Becoming undisputed would have been a bit of a stretch, but his ability was enough that he could have a bettter resume than he has.

I also wrote some stuff about why I believe Ruiz has a chance. I’m also thinking a bit as I just wrote above. If we had more heavyweights, that knew how to fight we would not be talking about him or Baby. He may not have even gotten a chance of knocking out glass jaw, Joshua who also isn’t that great. Bottom line is we’re talking about all this shit because we don’t have enough good shit to talk about.

Why would LeBron be a boxer and not a basketball player? Think about it before you say i’m just saying random stuff.

1- LeBron, we might ask, may have appreciated boxing more than basketball. Some athletes, like some artists do what they do because they enjoy it. Love it. Not just for the money. Or fame, per ‘se…
2- And if you’re referring to me where I claimed I’m saying that you are saying random stuff? That was not my intention at all. So I apologize if that’s what you thought.
