    People are insane these days. Look at other eras and how fighters come back from worse losses like this. Ken Norton was bounced off the canvas multiple times early and is still considered a great fighter. Frazier got absolutely manhandled like a child by Foreman and he's still great. Mike Tyson was dominated from start to finish by freaking Douglas.

    He'll be fine if he doesn't listen to social media.

    I wouldn’t go that far. He ended the fight on his feet. Anything less than a warrior would have stopped getting up.

    He got heart no doubt. But that referee definitely was helping him survive

    I wonder how many giving Garcia the benefit of doubt would do the same if Haney was the one who failed the drugs test? Lots of hypocrisy going on

    That too. Junior middleweight is literally his natural weight class lol. Even at welterweight he’d be rehydrating 20 lbs

    This **** is crazy he has a guy test positive against him and he's the one getting bashed. This forum is a crazy place. I can't wait for the next boxer to test positive so I can expose the hypocrisy on this forum.

    I think most of us are just enjoying seeing Haney get his karma after the Loma robbery.

    Of course Haney shouldn't retire, unlike almost all of the world champions he's fought, all of whom he's much or way bigger, heavier and longer than, he's still young and in his prime and he's still a good fighter. I've never claimed otherwise or that he isn't skilled. He does have good skills but many were trying to make out he was not only on Loma's level in terms of skills which is obviously patently absurd in every possible way, but that he is actually way more skilled than him and that it was delusional to suggest Loma could even compete with him. I kid thee not. It's bizarre how so many people can see things that are just not there when they want to.

    Not only isn't he remotely close to Loma's level in any, way shape or form, there are many other current fighters who are more skilled than him.

    He just needs to stay away from legit punchers and KO artists closer to his size, especially prime ones who he doesn't have a big or huge reach advantage over like he usually does

    And that he keeps fighting OAPs and OAP leprechauns

    And that he has home refs all the time to allow him to hold like crazy and home judges to rob his opponents when they beat him

    Why? Because he just don't got the whiskers nor the skills to legally evade getting clipped against legit prime bangers his own size or length or close to it, let alone ones who hold the kind of huge weight and reach advantages he has over his opponents.

    Boy so many of you are full of ****! Neither Haney or Loma failed doping tests with performance enhancing drugs. For the record Haney won a narrow unanimous decision over Loma.

    Well with Garcia failed drugs test the final result will be overturned to a no contest so he will retain his unbeaten record and the title. I hope he and his team have learned their lesson which would be to insist Garcia made the fight weight or call the fight off as well as a substantial fine not the silly bet forfeit.

    Bad selection of words in an interview.

    He felt overmatched because Ryan used PEDs? Or because he accepts that Ryan is a much better boxer than him?
