    I think that gets you the benefit of the doubt in a very close fight if the challenger is too negative, it can't cover up a gap this large.

    Plus this was a unification, if Kambosos wanted Haney's belt he had to take that too.

    And... here's where the floating on air hubris gets you into trouble.

    What are you talking about? Fulton stood in teh middle of the ring for the last 5 rounds and bashed Roman's face in with one twos. Fulton's performance made Haney's look practically feminine. Fulton's only problem is that he can't crack an egg, even with loaded gloves.

    Would you like to step up to the plate and bet if Haney ever fights Tank or Cruz ?

    I agree that Lomachenko beats Haney. But Haney beats the other two

    I stopped watching after the 9th round to switch over to the other bout. I had it 6-3 Fulton at the time. I thought he was negative in the rounds that he lost, as he had no business ceding that much ground to a non-puncher.

    Your criticism is strange vis a vis Haney. He doesn't have power, either, and he was facing a better fighter than Roman and in Australia.

    I agree, he lost 4 rounds. But he changed it up and got ultra aggressive in the last 4 rounds. It wasn't thrilling, but I appreciate that he was willing to slug it out, with a solid guy like Danny.

    Fair enough. I didn't see the final quarter of the bout. Hope he builds on that.

    No, because I never bet, because I'm not a reprobate gambler, and you're not going to bait me into it either. Cruz was willing to walk through Tank's punches to land one. Not saying he'll bea Haney, but he'll give him the fight of his life, and bring far more to the table than someone who nively tried to outbox him. That strategy will never even be on the table for Pitbull.

    Perhaps Cruz does give him problems with the pressure, but he's not winning. He's too much of a wild slugger when he gets up close. Haney will jab Cruz several times a round, Cruz will bullrush him, and Haney will slip, slide, and clinch when Cruz swings on him. Cruz will have him on the ropes from time to time but thats the only success he will have and even then he will land mininal shots. It will not be a good fight to watch and you will calll Haney a coward for not trying to dogfight a superior offenseive fighter like Cruz.

    Haney's movement and IQ is a level above Davis's. If Haney ever fights Cruz, you will see what im talking about

    I'll call Haney a coward regardless. I think anyone who takes up the sport of boxing, who's absolutely mortified at the idea of getting hit, should find a new sport to partake in. What pride or joy could one possibly derive from fighting that way? Yeah, sorry, there is a macho prove your manhood aspect to this game. Betas shouldn't be allowed.

    His pretend Muslim schtick makes me not respect him

    Apparently he converted in 2021. I'd say he's seen the insane following khabib garnered and wanted try and build a fan base that way with the Muslims,

    Don't believe he's a practising Muslim what so ever

    Fake?

    So his dad is also faking it as well is he?

    Whether one practices or not isn't what makes one a Muslim or not?

    Is it possible that he forgot to ask for your permission?
