    What those ignorant Haney fans don't realize is that Tszyu is not just some brawling power puncher he is more skilled than Haney. Kostya Tszyu would walk him down pretty quickly if Haney went to the ropes Tszyu would punish him to the body if Haney engages Tszyu would land that straight right on the chin putting him down hard. Haney would not have the insane size advantage like he did against Loma. Tszyu would get closer much quicker.

    Yep. They actually believe Haney is some generational great and Loma a massive hype job who Haney is way more skilled than. They're two completely different species of talent and skill

    Kostya vs Haney would be brutal and swift

    Yep the only reason Haney wasn't stopped by Loma and maybe won 3 rounds was due to his insane size and reach advantage.
    The fact that a natural featherweight was able to beat up a natural welterweight for 9 or 10 rounds is incredible.

    Loma absolutely whopped his ass and had him crying to Daddy :lol: Even all Haney's peers from the US said Loma was robbed. It was only days later you had all the clowns saying "well if you re watch it in slow motion Haney landed some body shots and won" :lol:

    Lol :D Kostya never was a135er. And at 140 he would just be too big and powerful. Loma was a phenom but not Superman. Lol There are limits for everyone.

    I don’t think Loma should’ve fought beyond 126 or 130 to be honest. Just didn’t have the frame to keep going up.

    Tszyu is one of the best 140lbs ever lived.

    It's amazing how Daddy Bill and the Haney fans can switch the narrative about Loma. As if robbing him wasn't enough.

    The Tszyu kid is one of the most overrated boxers in history. Best win was Zab Judah and got schooled, embarrassed, outclassed and finished by the average Vinny Phillips in the Tszyu kids prime.

    And here we go again with the Vince Phillips crap. Casuals and morons make this argument and forget that there are dozens of legendary fighters with an upset loss on their records. Tyson lost to Douglas, Lewis to Rahmann, Ali to Spinks, Foreman to Young, etc.

    Tszyu kills every active 140lb fighter today. Literally every single one of them.

    And he obliterates an undersized Loma too.

    Lomachenko at 135lbs, Tszyu at 140lbs.

    I notice how you didn't dispute that in the Tszyu kids whole career he has so few top level wins. Best win being Zab Judah when you consider all the legends in and around his weight class says it all. The kid never wanted any smoke from elite opposition and you know it.

    Don’t rate Lomachenko as highly as some, an amateur phenom maybe but I think he’d come unstuck against a lot of the best guys historically

    What are you talking about? He unified 140 and was the first guy in decades to do so. He ducked nobody.

    Like I said, only morons and casuals take the position you have. Which one are you?
