You dont start your boxing career by fighting the heavy weight champion. How many of you tough guys on here are lining up to fight Ray Edwards?

This is just showmanship. Edwards isn’t and won’t ever be a real professional boxer. He is no different than Kimbo Slice or Butterbean before him. Just circus side shows. They give him easy opponents just to promote his name. Once that wears off he will be out of the sport and have barely made a dime.

As for everyone saying that he is taking easy fights, that’s how it usually goes. It’s much easier to promote a fight with a guy who is 5-0 against bums then is with the same guy who is 1-4 against good fighters.

This guy obviously threw the fight.

Fighting bums is one thing. Fighting in fixed fights is a different story.

This may have been the worst fight in boxing history lol. I’m pretty sure I know some female school teacher’s who would have knocked his opponent out..I’m sure that was the easiest pay day of Edwards career!

Ray quit wasting our time with meaningless headlines, created by fighting chumps, get real bro.

The lousy job was the fix and the punch, he fell when he was supposed to.
