2023 has been quite a journey. My VA disability rating for PTSD increased, and a week before Christmas, I was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder. This isn't a plea for sympathy, you all know I'm resilient. When you see me in public, by all means, I'm not hiding behind a…
Yes, this probably the biggest victory of my career, but i just want for everyone to pray and show love for

. I’ll always be a fan, and he’s a true gentleman. God bless you, my man. Please make it home safely to your beautiful family.
Went to war overseas, lost a child, suffered from PTSD, clinical depression, and a parent of autistic children. A opponent across the ring is the least of my worries. Boxing is therapeutic.
I just want to thank everyone for their endless support. Congratulations to
@ShakurStevenson
, he was the better man, and even when I knew I was down I tired my hardest to push forward, no matter what. There was no quit in me, but overall I wish Shakur the best! Thank you all 🙏🏾
I love this sport, but I owe it to my family to quit putting them through these moments. Thank you all, whether you were with or against me, you made me who I am, but it’s time. Semper Fi, salute 🫡
Please don’t kick a man when he’s down. He risked it all, daring to be great, against a great champion. The sport needs to continue putting the best against the best, without worrying about be criticized for coming up short.

Boxing can be a brutal sport but in the end it’s a sport. Thank you

for the opportunity, you’re a good champion, but better person and you will be a world champion again!

I love and live the sport of boxing, but I’m at a point where I fight to take care of my family. I have two children with special needs, and all I care about is providing them with everything they need, to have a fighting chance at a good life.
Boxing has been in good shape this year alone.
Just continue making fights between the best in their respected weight classes, and leave all the fantasy matchups, in a fantasy.
Nothing wrong with Canelo losing to the better man, last night. Many just believe 175 is too much, but there are still a lot of good fights he can make at 168.
I don’t respect booing the national anthem, especially when fighters fight over here we respect their national anthems in big fights. Hell, when the Mexican national anthem hit, I’m right there singing too!

Today marks two years since I’ve become a world champion, but more importantly it’s my daughter Ari’s birthday. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about her, but I pray I’m going in the right direction in her honor. Happy Birthday Ari, we miss you.
🙏🏾🕊👼🏾
Gotta give credit where it’s due, Ry fought his ass off, probably one of his best performances, but man he missed out on being a champion with that black eye at the weigh, but it is what it is.
#HaneyGarcia
I miss fighting but if I’m being honest, my body can’t keep going through 8 week training camps. I gave the sport 20+ years, and I’m just dealing with reality, but I’m fine.
People are pathetic. They made fun of Ruiz when the fight was announced for his appearance, and even after proving he’s a champion, instead of giving him his credit, they call it a fluke or continue to make fun of the guy. Ruiz is a classy guy, who earned that victory!
Inoue is running through weight classes like a prime Manny Pacquiao. Credit to Cool Boy risking it all, he’ll eventually bounce back.

I seen Jamie standing up with the towel in hand... why continue beating on a man that’s clearly defeated? If I remember you’re the same one that said I would lose, and it would be Frampton’s best win. Now there’s an issue with showing mercy towards a respected fighter.
Please don’t flip the script, or try to change the narrative. This was supposed to be the man’s biggest test, and he passed it with flying colors.

Anyone seen, Oscar though? Don’t tell me he did Ryan in similar fashion he did Canelo, when Canelo fought Floyd in terms of not being present. I might be wrong, but I don’t remember seeing him.

@JamelHerring
’s strength has been tested in many ways, making him the man he is today.
The Champion opens up about losing his daughter and dedicating his first world title in her honor. ❤️🙏
Remember when most trash talking took place during press conferences, interviews, and face offs, BEFORE a big fight? Now we get all that trash talking, with NO fight… astonishing.

My mother just said, “Canelo did a great job cutting off the ring. He’s caught Plant and each corner.” 🤔 good observation mom.

Would you want to rematch for ONE belt, or get a guaranteed shot at the winner who holds ALL the belts, with a few bucks from step aside? 🤔

Size does matter, that’s why we have weight classes, but I see Mayweather stopping Paul, due to fatigue and Paul not being about to hold up his guard to protect himself as the rounds go on. Your thoughts?

@ESPNRingside
Thank you all for the support along the journey. I’ll be around, but my body can’t continue competing. You guys have been great to me and it won’t be forgotten.
Never speak racism in sports, or anywhere for that matter
1) You’ll lose A LOT of fans
2) Attract more racism
3) See people fight racism, with racism
Nothing good comes out of it. Stop flooding our times with the dumb shit.
You fought GGG at 160 so you will do the same with me if you want the biggest payday (& beating) of your career. If not I’ve got much bigger fish to fry anyway… you don’t
@SpecialKBrook
Educate yourself for a moment. Diuretic banned substances are commonly used to flush out all other banned substances, not just cutting “water weight.” As a fellow champion, I respect Valdez, but this is hard to ignore…
They might as well match me up with Miguel, or give me the IBF winner since everyone’s being so generous. Overall, let’s be honest, Shakur and Oscar is the fight to make. I’ma enjoy this time off though, no ill feelings, or bitterness in my heart. Just put on good fights.
