    To think that Loma managed to have a close fight with him when he has to be 140 max.

    Weight bullies don’t exist though. Haney’s either on drugs, or it’s the increased time between weigh-in and fights they do nowadays, probably both. Recently I’ve noticed more and more fighters being over 20lbs when since the 80s to not long ago 20lbs was about the max.

    Might aswell do away with weightclasses at this rate.

    165 lbs and still couldn’t knock out Prograis even when he had the chance?

    I never used to believe in weight bullying I thought if you make the weight that's it but this is unbelievable.
    I am heavily involved in health, fitness and boxing but obviously not at the elite level but I can't fathom how a man can put on over 11KG's in 24 hours. I don't see how this can be done without the use of PED's.

    That is ridiculous and it will shorten his career. Easy to do when you are young but it isn’t healthy.

    Loma lost to a severely malnourished and weight drained neophyte. Pathetic.

    To use what is now an old fashioned term, "Don't hate the player, hate the game." Haney is playing by the modern rules and is not doing anything wrong. It is boxing that has the problem. They need to fix their rules on weigh-in times and whatever else it takes to put the sport on the right track.
