Where exactly did the "cab driver" slur in boxing originate from? Who made it a thing? 
there are a good amount of fighters that dont solely make a living in the ring so they have other jobs....especially journeyman type fighters so slurs like "cab driver" became a thing as a way to discourage the level a fighter might be or a fighter's record/resume..im sure there are fighters who actually drive cabs for a living...shyt robert guerrero, when he was being pushed down our throats on those pbc cards for some odd annoying reason, was beaten by an actual cab driver if im not mistaken lolWhere exactly did the "cab driver" slur in boxing originate from? Who made it a thing?

For the people saying "Oh alot of Boxing matches are in Saudi Arabia, Boxing is dead" are kind of full of shyt
There are Riyad Season cards this year. Ryan Garcia vs Rollie and Haney vs Jose Ramirez are rumored to be in New York City. The Canelo vs Crawford are rumored to be in Las Vegas. Not a single peep from that. And if people do talk about it, it's "Oh man, it's gonna be in a stadium, that's gonna suck"
Can't have it both ways. Somehow in the modern era, Boxing not in America = Boxing is dead
Pre-1990, it would very very normal for fighters to fight overseas
Sugar Ray Robinson fought ALOT overseas
Joe Louis fought alot overseas
Muhammad Ali fought alot overseas
Sugar Ray Leonard and Marving Hagler fought alot overseas
Shawn Porter on his podcast said he never even fought outside of America his whole career. shyt has always been odd to me. Boxing isn't "dead". It's just that most of the fans just suck

Well he admitted to ducking Devin and believes he's undisputed cause he beat Ryan before Ryan beat Devin got caught cheating and the W overturned
what an embarrassment

He too uninformed/unarticulate to say "Devin was the man, and Ryan beat the man, and I beat the man who beat the man" lol.
The Ducking Devint thing I took as "you are BFFs with Turki, and if y'all tryna get me to fight at ya BFF house I know its impossible to get a decision so y'all better give me every damn thing I want". I will say Turki seems to not give a fukk who takes an L or not and I think he over estimates Turki and Devins relationship (because unless Devin is an idiot he could have leveraged Turki post loss and kept his 140 belt).
I think assuming Shakur and Tank take care of business, things should interesting come April. In all reality Tank vs Shakur should co-main Bud vs Canelo if we really talking about a generational boxing card
This is weak....
Spence went over to England. Beat the unholiness outta Brook. And then went and had some fish and chips.
Cuh has put out all but two of his opponents. You mean to tell me that he has so little confidence in his skills that if he doesn't get the KO, He knows he'll lose?
People like to talk about fighters cherry picking but this nikka takes the cake.
Don't ever mention this nikka as a Pound For Pound nothing ever again. fukk him.
