    None TBH , Lomas almost done , yet he continues with his quest in taking on these weight grifters .. he'll ruin his legacy because he's not beating these guys now he's too old and they are too big.. and I couldn't give a flying f*** about those other two protected dick heads

    I’m really behind the curve on Garcia, what are good fights of his to watch

    Fair analysis, I just don’t see what Haney presents that Lomachenko hasn’t faced a hundred times before. There’s a hundred Haney’s and only one Lomachenko, so Haney better be able to adapt on the fly. We have to remember that Haney has beaten Kambosos. Belts don’t make the fighter. Out of the four Haney has always been the weakest in my eyes.

    At the highest level of boxing there are fewer knockouts. The fact Loma has done what he has with that knockout ratio shows that you’re speaking utter nonsense. Doesn’t the fact that Lomachenko is even competitive in these unnatural weight classes for him, tell you that he’s absolutely elite athletically? I mean I don’t know how to help you if you can’t see the footwork, speed and outmuscling of bigger opponents. Even look at the Teo fight, when Loma wanted to move in and rough Teo up there was nothing he could do to stop it. Listen to yourself, you’re talking about ‘hard to compete’ in the context of Lomachenko? You’ve either never seen him before or you’re a complete hater for whatever reason.

    You either have it or you don’t? Yeah, you’re completely clueless about everything.

    i agree in part. i think haney can be discouraged if the water gets deep. i dont see the determination in him that he would need in order to keep it together if it starts to get choppy. maybe im reading him wrong. if loma is still in form, were gonna find out.

    I don’t think I agree with that, Haney never looked like giving up when he was on shaky legs against Linares or when that little southpaw (Diaz?) was getting the better of him. Plus being willing to travel to Australia when he’s a young man. Mentally he seems solid, just from a boxing perspective he doesn’t bring much imo.

    For beautiful boxing and high ring IQ Haney-Loma is a purist dream

    Tank-Garcia is the better action fight for fans of the brutality of the fight game

    Love watching Loma box. He is up against it with Haney, who is a big kid. Davis - Garcia is a very close second. Both fights should be great and will clear the air regarding supremacy at 135. Maybe Haneys last at 135 since he is outgrowing it.

    Really! Your opening quote there is one of the most 'casual fan' things I've heard in a while.

    Not at all, we all know that Haney is pillow-fisted. Maybe not Paulie level, but somewhere between that and Tim Bradley level of pillow fistedness. He has zero power at the world-level. Again, have you ever seen Haney fight before?

    You've got to admit he is never going to be able to out box Loma, therefore his only option is going to be to use that extra size. I've seen all of his fights, thanks for asking. Pillow fisted!!! I don't agree, I would agree he is no big banger, but he is no push over.
