    as much as i like haney, loma won that fight. haney was whining to his daddy one of those rounds. Special fighters dont mentally crack like that. I though haney would be to big. He lost that fight clear as day to any unbias fan.

    If you take that dubious Loma decision away Haney has precisely zero signature wins on his resume.

    Even as an Australian I can say that Kambosos is decent but not any better than that. He was brilliant against Lopez in much the same way as Buster Douglas was brilliant against Tyson. But he ain't great. And the two Kambosos wins are the only other remotely good wins on Haney's CV.

    And at no time in any of the three best wins of his career did Haney look like getting his opponent out of there. He's so overrated that it's a joke. He's a much better than average boxer and a good champion. But that is about it.
