And this was shown last night. "Muh skillz" will only get you so far. Unless you're once in a generation slick like Floyd or Willie Pep you're going to get outhustled by someone with elite power and chin if you can't keep them honest.
Floyd had enough pop to keep guys honest, even up to light middleweight.
I could see that Booty Dew coming way before Haney supposedly started trying to please the fans, I regret not posting about it in the fight thread.
Fundamentals and skills are important, but they only get you so far. Talent = Speed, power, chin, endurance.
Haney has the speed and endurance, but his power is crap and his chin is questionable.
When's the last time someone ruled their division without having good power?
No.
You need Skills, Fundamentals AND Pop AND A CHIN.
If floyd mayweather didnt have a solid chin he would not have accomplished 1/4th of what he has accomplished. Its boxing you are going to get hit no matter how great your skills are.
And if floyd mawyeather didnt have any pop he wouldnt been able to tame fighters from coming in and out work him and drag em out.
Correct sir.
