No power, questionable chin, pretty simple really.
Give him all the skills in the world, it doesn't matter. If you can't gain an opponents respect with your power eventually someone's going to run through you. And that will happen soon with Haney.
He's already elite. He picked apart a guy like Linares. He's elite. I don't think people understand what it means to be elite in boxing. .
I doubt you do. It means having elite skills and attributes. Fools like you saying Haney has one of the best jabs in boxing when Floyd calls it amatuer. Haney has no elite skills or attributes hes B level at best in every area, that is not elite lol.
I want to see him at 147. Is he really that chinny or is it the cut when he is rehydrating to the mid-160s? Guess he can fight Benn and The Hide Out from Competition Ennis.

Hes got no power now at 22 at 135
what does his future look like when he eventually has to move up in weight
his speed isnt that great either. hes got good reflexes and all being young but not like he has amazing speed. So i cant see him being say in the top 10 p4p at 30 and 147 or anything.
someone is going to crack that chin. i think tank would stop him
pretty annoyed with him still hugging on like a bitch in the 12th round too. the 11th when his legs were still shaky, ok do what you have to in order to survive but then in the 12th he had his legs back but still hugged excessively to buy time. what a baby
No punch and no chin. The sharks smell blood now I’m sure.
Hard to say he has no chin. This was Linares we are talking about and he was literally plotting that shot out all night. He definitely has no power though. He doesn't even have enough to keep a guy like Linares honest? That's not good. He should go back to his old style. Fighting in the pocket isn't for him.
Actually he was physically strong and manhandling Linares with his hugging and pushing him to the ropes, his strength saved him tonight. He just has no power.
Yep when he can land as clean and as often as he did and Linares just gobbled them up. he just doesn't have enough power for the very best guys.
He's already elite. He picked apart a guy like Linares. He's elite. I don't think people understand what it means to be elite in boxing. With that said, he's not a complete fighter.
Pretty much. He has time to put it together, but his durability is questionable. He really did a disservice to himself by trying to impress by going for a stoppage. He probably could have won 12-0 and possibly broke linares down to the body late.
If he could stick to fighting behind the jab and countering he may get some good wins. His jab and timing are world class, but his chin and power are questionable. A shot Linares ate clean shots all night and wasn't scared to continue trading.

I didn’t watch it. Is it still his complete lack of physical strength that’s his main issue?
nvm. Actually read the OP.

I think he can beat Garcia, but loses to lopez. Tank kills him. I know all of these guys that ducked him are feeling real stupid right now. Lomachenko, lopez, garcia. Now I know for sure Haney is gonna be comfortable with the bs mandatories. I know he's not gonna be calling out Lopez any time soon lol
