    Garcia is crazy one dimensional and does so much wrong but Haney could not stop that left hook. And he usually sleeps his opponent if it lands.

    He just spamd it over and over. If it doesn't land, he's screwed. He kinda gave up vs Tank

    Garcia's left hook reminds me of Roy's hooks. Don't yell at me, I'm just talking about the left hook. It's like a whip.

    He's far from one dimensional. Do these performances look one dimensional to you? He's a far more complete boxer on every possible level compared to a one note hack like Wilder. While he's no master boxer, he's a fairly adequate one.

    It's merely the fact that as overrated as Haney might be, he is slick and for the average fighter, isn't very easy to outbox. Ryan realized for that particular match, he couldn't take the approach he took with Campbell or Fortuna, or attempt to lay back and outbox Haney, he knew he had to throw caution to the wind, and gun for the KO from the opening bell, with every shot he threw. Which is also the sign of a fairly smart fighter. I wish more boxers realized that was their only pathway to victory, and tried that approach more often.

    I've heard this being thrown around and I have to disagree. Haney's chin is terrible a Wilder like right hand would put him to sleep as soon as it landed. If the left hook from Garcia had Wilder like power that first one he landed in the opening round would've ended the fight.
    No doubt Garcia's left hook is a great equalizer though.

    It's one of the best left hooks in boxing today for sure. The amount of speed and torque he gets on it is impressive to see. Every flush left hook hurt Haney bad.

    Oh he's no Wilder. I meant more that he might have the biggest get out of jail punch since Wilder. I think when he's in a tough fight he loses focus massively. Both in the Tank fight and in the Haney fight and resorts to becoming one dimensional spamming the left hook. He's entertaining, much more fun to watch than Wilder.

    I think Wilder is harder to take off his game and is tougher and has more heart.

    Garcia has more tools than Wilder. He’s all around more skilled. His left hook is awesome. It will take him far but it’s not as damaging as Wilders right.

    Roy`s left hook was nowhere near as vivious as Wilder`s right hand and Garcia doesn`t have Wilder`s one punch KO power.

    Wilder is crap despite his powe, he needs to retire, Garcia is on another level to Wilder.
