    He’s good but man, I’ve seen him fight twice and he puts me to sleep. He is probably the fighter I’ve seen take the less risk by far.

    If Haney puts you to sleep then boxing is not for you but you can try MMA.

    Why are people giving credit to this weight bully? Are you guys seriously dumb? do you not understand the importance of size advantage?

    As soon as Haney moves to a weight where guys are the same size as him, we will see him look far less impressive and more than likely getting KOd. He was wobbled by significantly smaller Linares and Jojo Diaz. I’m telling you, just watch

    Weight bully is an excuse to try and discredit fighters you don't like period. Many fighters are big for their weight class but people pick and choose who they want to label as weight bullies because they already have an agenda.

    Plenty on here were calling him an email world champion. Plenty said he wouldn't become undesputed world champion.

    He deserves credit as the deal he took for the Kombosa fight wasn't great but he bet on himself to win and reap the rewards later.

    I agree there is no such thing as a weight bully. If you make the weight you make the weight. Using your size to your advantage is part of boxing.

    He has definitely improved & reached a higher level you can see it in his each of his fights in that order, plus he does punch fast & hard that's why fighters like George didn't bother rushing him, his Jab is well understood as well as his defense, lets see how he goes further.

    Whatever you may think about the decision last night you still gotta give Haney his props for performing well against a veteran and holding his own.

    Yeah his pre-fight antics didn’t warrant him any support and deserved some criticisms. He still put on a good show in a hard fought fight and he managed to show some toughness. He should still be commended for taking on the challenge.

    Let’s see if he ends up fighting Shakur, Tank, Taylor/Teo next.
