    Inoue. Haney is a good boxer, but he fights like a total chick.

    Inoue, he can outbox people & almost never take a hit if he wants to do that but as he said multiple times that is boring & doesn't give the fans what they want: action & KO's

    That is why it surprised some people in US when he thoroughly outboxed Fulton before KO'ing him, they thought he was just a power puncher

    He has a top notch jab, power in both hands, can put you out with a shot to either head or body (nearly half of his KO's have come from body shots which you don't see often). So far he never needed judges or refs to help him out in anyway unlike Haney who needed the judges against Loma in a fight most thought he lost

    Easily Inoue in every respect. Let's discuss again when Haney unifies 147 lb or something like that.

    Er. Haney is the biggest weight bully in the sport and he's never beaten a single champ his size and all bar one of them were between 2 and 4 divisions lighter and all of them had much shorter reaches. You do the math

    A same size Inoue would KO him out cold. Haney has been hurt by the only puncher he fought who could catch him and they were shot and old and inactive. Imagine what a lightening fast pinpoint precise hardest puncher in the sport would do to him when he lands

    Name 2 world champions Haney's size he's ever beaten?

    I'll wait

    Not to mention he spent the remaining 3 rounds on wobbly legs literally giving running bear hugs to Linares to survive & the ref let him get away with that as they usually do with these Boxers who have Boxing mixed up with hugging & wrestling

    To be fair, other than Rougarou who posed no threat because he has slow feet and a short reach and could never close the distance against the bigger and longer risk averse Haney, Linares is the only puncher Haney's ever fought and had the bell not come to Haney's rescue even that inactive completely washed much lighter version of Linares would likely have knocked him out. With those fast hands and blazing combos of Linares you're in serious danger if he has you wobbly and hurt

    But yeah, it was pathetic the way Haney ran and octopus grabbed that shell of Linares in the last few rounds

    Now when asked about Matias (who has serious power that makes fighter after fighter quit) & being undisputed at 140, he says he already "did undisputed" at 135 by Kambosos Jr & wants to make "big fights" happen, sounds like ducksauce to me. I will be happy to be proven wrong if he fights Matias next year

    Yeah I know. Becoming ''undisputed'' at 135 by winning all the belts in one fell swoop from a one-hit wonder who won their three previous fights via SD or MD, and cannot deal with boxers their own size to save their life let alone way bigger ones like Haney, was the greatest thing since sliced bread but now all of a sudden when he has to it the hard way winning the belts one by one against fighters who are not a perfect stylistic fit for him he's lost all interest in becoming ''undisputed''

    Now cherrypicking the most stylistically favourable match ups at 140 and 147 is the name of the game and he's only interested in ''big fights'' like the inactive shell of Keithy Thurman who has fought once in 4.5 years and not at all in almost two :facepalm:

    Inoue is also a better boxer than Haney. Inoue is in his 4th division and fighting taller, heavier, and longer opponents...and he's outboxing AND beating them up.

    Haney has demonstrated he's an effective weight cutter so far and that's all. Every opponent Haney has fought has been either lighter, shorter, and/or with less reach.

    Inoue has never had to hold on for dear life (like Haney did versus Linares) or get favorable judging (like Haney did versus Loma). Moreover, Inoue rematched his close fight versus Donaire while Haney ran from Loma. Inoue chin and heart have never been in question as he FOUGHT threw a broken orbital bone...while Haney HUGGED the entire 12th round after Linares bambi-legged him (twice).

    Inoue is far superior to Haney in every way.

    Lol now Bill is claiming that he called up Matias manager & they asked for 4 million implying that its the reason the fight isn't gonna happen

    If that was the case then why didn't Devin say so a few days back instead of giving waffle about how he already did undisputed at 135 & was now interested in making "big fights" when he was talking about Matias

    I think the term is ''cap''

    Lying clowns the pair of them

    Haney said he didn't even know who Matias was and, as you say, that he no longer has any interest in becoming undisputed
