Yes he did, go rewatch the Linares and Garcia fights. He does the hugging technique as defense.

In all seriousness, Haney Clearly can’t fight on the inside and that’s a big problem....

[-Kev-]

Tank Davis needs to step up. His wins over Barrios, Hector Garcia, Pitbull, Pedraza and Santa Cruz were good but his win over Ryan is tainted due to the weight stipulations. He should fight Shakur or even Lomachemko. Have his promoter work with Arum for a 2-fight deal. He has to step up already, he’s...

[-Kev-]

You’re probably right, look at Shakur and his boring resume. He’s being brought up at a snail’s pace.

[-Kev-]

Mayweather should come out of retirement and fight Devin Haney.

[-Kev-]

Idk how much that even matters other than for financial purposes and attracting big names. If you bring in money I don’t see why a fighter would care about them. Ryan Garcia’s starpower transcends the WBC, WBO, WBA, and IBF. The Ring is the title he should want and that’s it.

Haney can’t make 135 and Loma is too small for 140. I can even see Haney moving to 147 soon. Maybe 2025.

[-Kev-]

Damn that should be a great fight.

[-Kev-]

They put him there after his “win” over Lomachenko, which defeats the purpose of the list.

P4P means who are the best fighters regardless of weight class? Which fighters would do the best if everyone was the same size? Haney outweighed Lomachenko on fight night and still lost...

[-Kev-]

Garcia was probably just slightly bigger. He’s just taller so he looked way bigger. He may have been around 172-175lbs to Haney’s 166-168lbs. Not that much of a difference.

This might have been Haney’s first fight against someone around his size in the ring....

[-Kev-]

Except the critique of Haney isn’t only from this fight. It stems all the way from the Linares fight (Haney rightfully won but his chin was exposed), and a lot of people had him losing to Lomachenko.

You can say this was his first loss technically, but like Broner when he lost to...

[-Kev-]

It was weird seeing Dock not even warn Haney once in the 12 rounds about his excessive holding.

I thought when I saw Dock first rip Haney off of Garcia, he was going to immediately tell Haney not to do that. But no, just break, and fight. He did that a couple times, had to rip a badly hurt...

[-Kev-]

So then it did have a negative physical effect that affected Ry’s performance.

If you say it helped Tank that is....

[-Kev-]

Shakur’s resume isn’t great tbh.

[-Kev-]

I would say Teofimo Lopez. He clearly beat Loma and Taylor.

[-Kev-]

But if it didn’t affect Ry, then why fight Mario Barrios at 140lbs with no weight stipulations and rehydration clause? Why do it for Ryan Garcia and not for Mario Barrios?...

[-Kev-]

I had to double check before posting the thread and yes Ry is that skinny in every photo of the Tank fight....

[-Kev-]

I’m picking Bivol. But Bivol better watch the back of his head. Every Beterbiev fight, he seems to catch every fighter in the back of the head and fans reaction is always “well you can’t duck down and only give him the back of your head.” Like it makes the punch legal and as...

[-Kev-]

Ryan Garcia really wanted the fight, so Tank took advantage and asked for all these stipulations. And Ry was just desperate to get it done.

It’s like when you get your first big job interview and because the money is better than anything you’ve had before, you foolishly agree...

[-Kev-]

It didn’t look like he weighed much tbh. I mean just look at him. The amount of time you have matters. You also can get to a point where it’s hard to put the weight back on right away like that. It’s what happened to De La Hoya. He was unable to put on much weight which is why he only...

[-Kev-]

De La Hoya was even worse. He weighed 146 at the scales and 147lbs on fight night. That’s a 1lb rehydration. Garcia was allowed 10lb rehydration but still yeah, both were badly drained....
