Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson Says One-Year Suspension For Garcia Not Enough: 'It's Not Setting A Good Example'

[JWitt]

Wait….what….who said what?
Shakur quoted or Haney, like the article says ?

Very funny coming from Shakur “Let’s watch something else, this fight is boring” Stevenson.

Shakur is my favorite current boxer..but this is kind of a soft statement
If Ryan was indeed dirty, I would be the first man up to fight him after the suspension is over..

[White-Bob]

Test immediately before the fight. If fighter has drugs in system, cancel fight. Is that possible?

No. Not possible

A one year suspension in pro boxing is a joke. In other sports where you compete every week or every month you get two years. Pro boxers at this level compete once every 6-12 months so it's basically a slap on the wrist.

Agreed. Another example similar is like in baseball….. a field player will get suspended for “3 games” for some type of offense, where a pitcher will get suspended 10 or 20 games for an offense, with the reason being to suspend them from 2 or 3 starts.

In comparison, Boxing should suspend similar situations for 2 years. A 1 year suspension is like suspending a pitcher in baseball for one game, and he can pitch the next.

This criminal should still be in jail for beating a young girl. He is salty because Ryan wouldn’t fight him and he priced himself out of a Haney fight. He is fighting another nobody again while clout chasing other fighters.

I'm beting thr girl didn't even get hurt with those feather fisted and Shakur was probably thinking of runnig. Hid weight bully days are over.

Is a year serious **** or is it just a joke, as Shakur claims?

Like other big earners who were caught before him (Yo, Nelo! Yo, Fury!) Ryan proves it all depends on moolah. As in: how much you’ve got.

If you make A list money, a year ban is only a mosquito bite. The top fighters barely fight more than once a year anyway.

But for a guy moving through the ranks, it matters. Those months are fangs in your neck.

There are lots of creative ways to change this situation, but none will fly in a sport run by corrupt promoters. Let’s see if the Saudis care as they move in and take over… doubt it!
