    It looks like Garcia took Haneys soul. That's what happens when you underestimate somebody who you think is "easy work". If Garcias B sample comes back negative, then I don't see why Haney shouldn't try to get that loss back...... Unless he feels he can't beat him, which is how I'm taking it. Garcia has his number.

    Wlad, Wilder & Usyk felt the same despair in the grips of a hungry bear moth. The 6'9" 270 pound titan.

    Haney looked dry to be honest. Garcia always going to have a style advantage over him but I wouldn't mind seeing it at 147, both clean and neither drained. I'd expect the same result but Ryan didn't exactly do it fairly did he? They all just need to ignore all these losers like Egg Ben we currently have at WW who are looking at these smaller men desperate for some attention.

    From a PR perspective he should have got some coaching on how to handle the interview. I would have told him to stick to a message about "let's keep things fair," but not get into how "overmatched" he felt.

    What if it comes back as a very small trace amount? Not sure that would exonerate him or not.

    Because a sizeable portion of boxing fans see Haney as (at least) a borderline cheater, too.

    Regardless of the fact he's within the rules (or at least hasn't been caught breaking any), the extent of his weight drains and subsequent size and weight advantages looks and feels wrong - it's allowed, but colloquially it's tantamount to cheating.

    As a result... There's plenty that see him losing to Garcia as a taste of his own medicine - the only real way to front that out is to avenge that loss, show some guts and get back in there.

    Because PEDs is not the reason he got with the same most predictable left hook 9x clean.

    I hate that Ryan tested positive obviously because it's against the rules.....but Haney is highly overrated. Talented, but far from elite. This situation simply just buys him time from facing reality and/or gives his supports an excuse not to accept that reality.

    If he thought that was bad, wait until he gets in the ring with El Orgullo de Maternillo.:deal:

    Although after Ryan took his testicles, I'm not sure he'll be able to muster up the bravery to set foot in the ring with him.

    Yep I always thought the kid was soft he is a good boxer but not built for war.
    He doesn't have the dog in him he is not a warrior and comes across as a whiny little pussie.
