Can he really fight well from all ranges? He has a poor inside game. Lacks power, and pretty basic one dimensional style. Plus his best wins have come from fighters he has dwarfed. He is not elite.
Haney doesn't get real hate. Yes he's boring but he wins fights. Ye he scraped a decision against Loma, but he pushed him all the way. Yes he hydrated over a stone, but he makes weight. You have to remember two years ago Haney was a joke. An email champion. Bes proven himself to be at the world level and fair play to him. As a fan I really wish he'd rematch Loma, but given the derision shown to him I really don't blame him.
Haney's a modern day technician. I love him. He's a brilliant fighter. He lost to Loma. Fact. But you still can't take away his greatness. I'm a big fan.
I gave Loma the slight edge but every time I go back and look at that 12th round I have to give it a draw
No...... Haney is not likes much in the boxing community..I could make an argument he has a better resume than all the P4P fighter you guys overrate
No one had the power to weight drain Spence except Spence. Big differences between Crawford and Haney. Crawford is a power puncher who tries to stop people, this gets you fans and respect from a wide audience. During his run at 140 how much was Crawford in the ring, 153? Big difference from 165. No A-side silver spoon rise for Crawford, had to come in from the outside instead of being born into the business. Devin just comes across like that rich kid on the team no one liked whose parents bought him the best gear.
Again, I never said Crawford and Haney was the same. What i'm saying is that Crawford doesn't have a better resume than Haney does since Loma > weight-drained Spence. Idk about you but context matters when ranking fighters from a P4P standpoint. Hell, I could make the aruguement that Crawford has yet to defeat a fighter as good as regis. This same logic can be applied to Spence too. Keith Thurman and Ennis would provide the same results as Crawford imo if they faced the same competition. Also, people have been calling Crawford and SPence weight bullies for years.
Crawford beats Haney. Porter also beats Haney. Though I think Haney beats Ennis. Styles makes fights. Also, saying that version of Spence would lose to Porter doesn't mean a lot. Spence barely scraped by Porter with a split decision.
I you think Haney beats Ennis, you're either A a hater or B delusional. Although Haney is in that class, Ennis would be too big, strong, and powerful. And Haney vs Porter would be a more dominant version of Brook vs Porter
