    I believe you’ve hit the nail on the head , anyone that thinks he’s elite needs his eyes checked he’s about as average as it gets When he fights a good fighter his size it’s gonna be ugly no power no chin no ability to adjust and people think he’s elite?

    This is stupid. What power? The Loma fight was close. The Garcia fight was overturned because Garcia tested positive. They didn't allow him to weight bully, he made weight. What's there to allow?

    Well 2 of the 3 things you said are horse****.
    You dont need power to be a weightbully. You just have to make weight and rehydrate.
    The loss got turned into a NC because Garcia failed.
    The scorecard against loma was bad but not unheard of since Loma was an older foreign fighter and Haney the rising prospect, this happens more often than not, simply because there is more upside to haney winning.

    Theres actually way more American representation at the top levels in boxing than there is in MMA at this point.

    I still remember the video of Joe Laws battering him in sparring. Yes Haney was only 16 or 17 but that wouldn't happen to Mayweather at thar age.

    I was referring to kids watching on TV who would be inspired to become the next generation of talent

    I’ve heard of the great white hope before, but never the great black hope.

    You know what surprised to me more? Rollie lmao. Blud should have 2 more losses on his cv and the way he obtained the tidal was pretty embarassing.


    All these failed Mayweather wannabees like Broner, Davis, Haney are so funny to me I swear.
    Also they tried to set-up Bradley too on the same **** iirc

    There's no such thing as weight bullying. Loma fight was close and Garcia was found to have cheated. So, really, none of what you are thinking is correct. You're like a Patterson/Gimlin denier, at this point.
