    Ryan would have to be the favourite.

    From my POV, they looked like they weighed the same. Haney didn't seem to have much respect for Ryan's supposed weight advantage since he was very willing to back him up in the middle rounds.

    Clearly, you missed the post fight press conference.

    Are you familiar with the term....playing possum ?

    We gotta make this fight happen. Ryan is a star and should only fight big fights.

    Damn I put money on Haney decision, Haney by DQ and Ryan by KO and lost $330.

    You're wrong on just about every count, Sukuna.

    Haney is a highly skilled boxer.

    There are not five more skilled boxers in the game right now.

    He has two handicaps though, and unfortunately for him, both are mainly beyond his control

    He lacks a decent chin.
    He doesn't pack much power.

    Most of the greats had one or the other.

    Having both is even better.

    Sadly for Devon, he's missing both.

    But he can box.

    Nah, no way was Ryan over 160 tonight. Probably wasn´t even 160.
    But he was bigger than usual, otherwise he would have made the weight easily.

    It could be the Ryan had to cut more than 10lbs for the first time in his life and just said "**** it". Because it sucks cutting more than 10. Even 10 is a pain in the ass. I have done it and re-hydrating so much sucks.
    I don´t get how guys like Chavez Jr. have the mental fortitude to cut aka dehydrate 20lbs while slacking off in the gym. I just don´t get it, but I digress.
    If I were to guess, Ryan was about 155.

    Tonight proved what a lot of us already knew and that is unless Haney has a huge size advantage he will come undone he is not built for war.
