    Loma's loss to Haney seems to have figured in some way in almost every post you made here... Many fighters from small countries fight in their opponents country if that's a big one. No one made a peep about until Loma started losing. Tiring. This obsession with Loma losing to Haney... He did. Life goes on.

    If Shakur can make 135 and Teo can't, they're not the same size. And they sure didn't look to be to me.

    I'll leave it at that.

    My point has been very clear throughout but you still don't get it or you do and you're just being deliberately obtuse. I shouldn't have had to keep explaining it to you again and again but you keep on trying to argue against it when it's completely undeniable

    Loma did things often or routinely at a drop of a hat that these deck-stacking divas refuse to do, have never done or will ever do

    He fought GRJ, Teo and Haney in their backyards/country with a home ref and 3 home judges

    He's done that x 7 in just 21 fights including Puerto Rican boxers in the US, so 1/3 of his fights and he's had ZERO home refs and judges for all 21 of those fights

    Not only haven't Haney or Shakur fought a world title fight vs foreigner in their country with a home ref and 3 home judges there isn't a single current US fighters who has ever done so

    Not only that Loma fought a much or way bigger Teo and Haney in their country with a home ref and 3 home judges in their FIRST division and hat would be like his 7th-9th had he turned pro at the same age and that's w/o being a massive weight bully in his first one like them

    Neither of them have ever done that or ever will

    And we know they won't even fight much smaller foreign opponents in their countries with a home ref and 3 home judges in their 1st-3rd divisions because they refused to do so and got their team to ensure the judges were all neutral because he didn't consider it a fair fight or level playing field

    Devin Haney

    If “neutral” judges are not possible, Haney says his team will push to have at least one American judge scoring the fight.

    “Here’s how I look at it,” Haney told Cigar Talk. “Robberies happen in the US. A lot of robberies. How many robberies? It’s too many to count. Robberies happen all over no matter where the fight is.

    “Me and my team are doing the best to make sure that there’s fair judging, neutral judges, or if it’s not neutral judges, it’s gonna be a US judge and an Australian judge. We gon’ make an even playing field. That was all I demanded. I just want fair judges. I wanted nothing else.”

    Or in Shakur's case he expressed reluctance to commit to doing so even though the fighter he called out would've had to jump up 3 divisions in one fell swoop to fight him after having already jumped up from 108 to 122, so from 108 to 135 in total, and Shakur was like er. I'm not sure about that when asked if he would fight Inoue in Japan :lol: :facepalm:

    Loma cut from a different cloth to them stop resisting it's OK to admit it

    They did look roughly the same size and there as no noticeable size disparity between them

    Haney made 135 but he was bigger than career 140 Rougarou and weighed NINE POUNDS more than him in their fight despite it being his debut at 140

    Crawford made 135 but he was bigger than career 140 Postol both at 135 and in their fight at 140

    Solid Points!

    When you don't have experience or wisdom in a certain area of life be it financial or career wise etc. that is where the vultures come out to prey as they see profit at your expense. I trust that the unjustly will be judge at some point in time.

    Mixed feelings on this but its one of those situations where you have to start appreciating these guys fights early in their career cause once they reach a certain stage due to money and fame, glory tends to take a backseat and we get once maybe two times a year fights.

    The crazy part, seriously, is that the RyGa fought was only like a 7-5 win for RyGa...meaning Haney won pretty much every round he wasnt KD. Haney is a tough out for anyone.

    Shakur and Keyshawn are the reason older gen boxers look down on the newer gen. Shakur literally has 15 brothers that he won’t fight LOL
