I find Izzy cringe but respect how active he was as a champion.
A lot of people will say Strikland broke him but it's clear he was reaching that point with his recent performances. I believe him when he says the lack of motivation + injuries added up. Usman was probably in a similar boat when he lost to Edwards.
Good call to take time off and heal up. A rejuvenated Izzy could make another run. But given his age and the miles on his body, his best days might be behind him.
