A HEATED DEBATE OVER WHETHER OR NOT MAYWEATHER SHOULD COMEBACK TO FIGHTING AGAIN! | SEASON 8 EP31

Despite Ryan Garcia's unanimous decision win over Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight title, hosts express significant skepticism regarding his legitimacy due to a past positive drug test (Ostarine) before his fight with Devin Haney. They emphasize the need for clean test results to validate his current performance and 'it factor,' suggesting his previous win might have been tainted.

Mace initially praised Garcia's performance, but Cam immediately questioned, 'When you're not on the Roy, what do you look like?' referring to steroids. Both hosts repeatedly stated they need to 'wait for the testing' to confirm if he's clean before fully endorsing his current form.

Richardson Hitchins' withdrawal from his junior welterweight title fight due to illness (vomiting after making weight) is met with strong disbelief by the hosts. They interpret his symptoms as 'nervous energy' or fear, rather than genuine sickness, and demand he return to their show to explain, citing the boxing community's lack of respect for such withdrawals.

Mace stated, 'If I if I got somewhere and I just start vomiting, right? We You would say this [__] scared.' Cam added, 'The boxing community ain't respecting it. So, it's even worse than us.'

Clarissa Shields' continued dominance in her weight class, exemplified by her unanimous decision win, leads to a discussion about her future. The hosts agree she is an elite fighter but lacks challenging opponents. They suggest she must seek opportunities outside traditional boxing, such as wrestling, UFC, or acting, to expand her global icon status and secure larger financial opportunities.

Mace states, 'At this point, there's only one fight... she have to beat Leila Ali.' Cam notes, 'It's about finding challenges in her weight division as well.' Mace concludes, 'Her next bag may be in wrestling... she may have to diversify and take her talents elsewhere.'

Floyd Mayweather's announcement to end retirement and resume professional boxing after a 2026 exhibition with Mike Tyson is met with concern. The hosts fear that rumored financial difficulties are driving his return, potentially leading to a loss that would tarnish his undefeated record and legacy, emphasizing that 'Father Time' is inevitable.

Mace states, 'I don't like Floyd fighting after after the rumors of, you know, different things financially. I don't like that because as you get older, father time is just going to show up at some point.' Cam adds, 'It just doesn't look good. We see him suing Al Heyman's company saying they robbed him for 200, 300 million.'

A heated debate arises regarding what constitutes true 'skill' in boxing. One host argues that a fighter's skill is only truly proven 'under fire' when they are challenged, hurt, and forced to demonstrate resilience and heart. The other counters that avoiding hits and maintaining defensive prowess is a fundamental part of skill, and intentionally putting oneself in harm's way is illogical.

Mace: 'I don't know if something work right until I see it tried... You got to put gold under fire to say this gold is real or this gold is counterfeit.' Cam: 'If the gold is in a fireproof safe, oh well. Can't be in no fire cuz it's in a fireproof safe.'
