    You obviously have never boxed and has to sacrifice to make the weight so you clearly don’t know what you are talking about.

    Well he is in the prime of his life at 25
    So either he was trolling everyone or he is young enough to get away with it.

    I keep reading how Haney was heavier than Garcia in the fight. Really? I'm not seeing it. Garcia is thick through the chest. I think they were about the same weight. And honestly, I thought Garcia was a tad bigger.

    If that's so, Olu, then Floyd cheated and his win over JMM is tainted.

    Sorry bubbles.......Some logic missing here.

    Haney did nothing that could be termed cheating.


    Same to you, Olu.

    You have a slightly better case than Bubbles, but IMO, Garcia did not cheat either.



    IMO, neither man 'cheated.'

    Not quite the same thing as explained in another post so don’t want to go over recent explanation again.

    How the hell is it not the same? Both came in over weight limit. Both did not bother to try to re weight.

    Credit to Haney for keeping the ppv alive and fighting at a disadvantage. Dude missed weight by 3.2 lbs and talks sh** to the fans. Only in boxing can you miss weight and still be aloud to compete in the same weight division, others would be disqualified or be forced to compete in the next weight division with the big boys. Haney wont be fooled again.

    You are arguing my point.

    You are preaching to the choir.

    We are in agreement on this point.

    Oh I agree with you. Just trying to tell you , You are trying to debate logic with a Floyd fanatic on how when Floyd does it , it is OK.

    Cheating implies trying to hide an action. Garcia not only didn't hide the fact he was 3 pounds over the contracted weight...how could he anyway since he knew he was going on a scale....but literally PAID for it with cash and losing the opportunity to win a title.

    And Haney didn't cheat as there was no rehydration clause so he could have gained 50 pounds if he could have done so.

    Your assertions make no sense, and are factually incorrect.

    This was the comment I made on the comparison:


    Olu G. Rotimi said: [url]↑[/url]
    Floyd did not wait till the weigh in, he realised fight week and told Marquez team immediately so they came to an agreement and accomodation and importantly Marquez did not have to strain to make weight like Haney. Team Haney were amateurish on this. “


    Basically Garcia got away with a cynical ploy going to the weigh in when he did not even try to make the weight.

    Your post is so ingenious. This was a scheduled for contracted world title fight. The rules mandate you come in within the 140!pounds limit at the weigh in the day before the fight. Garcia did not while Haney did so he made the sacrifice and was compromised whereas Garcia did not and worse he did not even try! Cheating is not following the rules . Haney could have called the fight off or insisted Garcia made the weight. His team foolishly did not.
