    Brilliant boxer. How good is the pivoting, right hand, the jab, ring i.q and ring generalship?

    What does that say about a 35 year old Lomachenko and what he did to him, as he beat Haney?

    Anyway, back on Haney. He's a gun. The hype was real you could see that all these years ago on youtube that he was going to be something special. Just like Tank Davis.

    He moves like Jag.......Mayweather.

    Devin '' The Dream '' Haney is a boxing prodigy.

    He is far better than I gace him credit for.
    I used to think Shakur would wreck him but now think Haney is too big and good.
    Tank has a punchers chance and thats about it, he won't out point him.

    King Ry is still the guy I want him to fight the most.
    Tank is too low out put and Haney is smart enough to use his size when neccessary to stay out of trouble.
    Shakur is not strong enough or a big enough hitter to do anything to Haney.

    King Ry has balls and power, I think he could catch up to Haney and hurt him.

    You are right. Both are boring to watch, feather-fists, and have been gifted decisions to stay undefeated (Loma and Castillo).

    He's not as talented, but he is naturally bigger than Floyd and moving up seems to have added to his attributes, whereas Floyd's diminished with each jump.

    Loma lost a Haney that may well have been weight drained.

    Nah Mayweather was way more exciting in lower weightclass and actually went for stoppages if the opportunity arised.

    Check out Mayweather vs Chavez, Corley, Ndou, Augustus, Corrales, Gatti, etc.

    No he isn't, not in any sense of the word. The only thing Floyd and Haney have in common is that both fight defensively. Beyond that they have nothing in common. Floyd wasn't afraid to KO people, better skilled in every department and avenged the controversial wins he had with clear rematches in his favor.

    I'd wager its more accurate to say Crawford is the modern day SRR at WW than Haney is to Floyd.

    No, Floyd had serious power and the will to use it at the lower weights. Haney boxes very well but has little to no power and doesn't have the will to use any, even when he has an opponent ready to go.

    King Ryan was Haneys mandatory & instead declined to fight Haney with complete avoidance, it would have been a bad fight for Super Ry then & even worse for him at this present moment.

    Haney has good defense with distance. He can’t block and parry close to Floyd. Floyd also fought in the pocket way more and threw combos. Haney is more of a 2 punch fighter. Throws 2 shots and gets out of distance.

    The fact that a well past prime very old injury-ravaged natural 126 pounder Loma beat the ass of the biggest weight bully in the sport in the vast vast majority of fan's eyes across the globe

    In Haney's backyard on a deck heavily stacked in Haney's favour

    With a home ref and three home judges which literally never happens in any other country in the word for world title fights between a home and away fighter but it practically the norm over there.

    Hence why when Haney fought Kambosos x 2 in Oz and Fulton fought Inoue in Japan all the officials were from neutral countries. Neither Haney or Fulton would've dared go over there otherwise

    Whilst being outweighed by four freaking divisions and being at a near six inch reach disadvantage

    And they stacked the deck even more in Haney's favour by moving the weigh in forward by at least 12 hours giving him 36 hours to rehydrate for a fight bettween the biggest 135 pounder I've ever seen and you've ever seen and the current smallest one in the world is embarrassing enough. Imagine the cries of corruption from Haney's vermin fans had they moved it back even an hour let alone 12?

    But then factor in that Loma's skill level was on a completely different stratosphere and the only one who was hurt, crying and panicking in his corner ''he sees everything I'm doing, papa'' was Haney and the only one who was actually landing to the head with anything of substance was the tiny blown up 126 old man and not the gigantic 147/154 weight bully.

    All Haney could do and was complete reduced to was landing to the body with his massive reach advantage because Loma was way way more skilled and slick than him and you all know it too

    Loma completely neutralized his supposedly ''best jab in the game'' despite the fact he was at a massive reach disadvantage and even a 3 or 2 division lighter version of that old man Loma would've stopped him. Imagine what a one or near same size one does to him

    Imagine what a 1, 2, 3 or 4 division heavier Loma would to that creep. The fight doesn't go more than 2 rounds max

    It's as clear as day who won if you actually know what you're looking at

    Even worse Haney elbowed the crap out of Loma and to tried to gravely injure him at the weigh in after blowing way back up in weight and he's jacked full of Conte's 'supplements'' lol

    ''Loma's a dirty fighter''

    No you are you ugly gigantic weight bully creep

    And the fact his coward ass shamelessly ducked the rematch against an 20lb lighter six inch shorter reach old man in his own country with a home ref and three home judges let's you know exactly who Haney thought won too :lol: At least Floyd rematched his unofficial Ls and was the antithesis of a weight bully like Loma

    Haney is no Mayweather. Haney definitely has no chin, what happened to Haney last night never happened to Mayweather. Haney is not a top tier fighter.

    He had no ability to adjust whatsoever. . Garcia's power made him completely befuddled.

    Only similarities are both are boring to watch, have had money thrown on them, and have been gifted decisions.

    Damn this post aged well. Haneys ability to not block well was his ultimate downfall.
