Amazing that boxing fans can be such apologists. look at what pretty much every boxing star did at 22 years old. they were fighting regularly and staying on people's minds. haney instead out here getting UDs over no-names tatted.

Look at the current era. If you want to compare these guys to the real 4 kings or Floyd then yes, he should have already been in there with the Linareses of the world but now we got nothing like that. Teofimo is doing good but he was with the same promotional company as Commey and Lomachenko.

haney wants to be a ppv star so that's the crop we compare him to. he asked for this attention. if you are fighting the santiagos and gamboas of the world, then at least fight more often. bottom line there's lot of tough challenges out there for haney, people with a smaller name than him. he could take more risk for more reward. his team chooses not to.

Choses not to? Why'd he fight an eliminator against Abdullaev? Did he make the choice for Ryan Garcia to talk about Tank and Pac instead of enforcing his mandatory position as well?

Let's see which Linares shows up before giving Haney any credit for taking the fight..

I’m disappointed in this one I thought Haney was going to fight Lomanchenko well I didn’t think he was I was hoping though!!! Nobody wants to see him fight Linares he was good at one point but he’s way past it this fight is not going to prove anything just a stay busy fight for the young champ

That's the funniest part about the Haney hate, the "When is he going to fight somebody" stuff. The guy is 22 years old.

And the fact hearn and haney were ready and willing to make the ryan garcia fight but king ry didnt want that work... well not yet atleast anyway. Loma is under arum who got loma elevated to franchise champ in order to avoid haney and go for teo instead... and even still bob aint going to let loma go fight on dazn no chance, nor will t.r make a significant offer enough to lure haney to come on to espn for the fight... there actions never match with there words

Linares would be his best win though. I can see this leading to a Loma fight also. Loma needs a belt to get another shot at Teo.

Why does that matter? He's supposedly a top 135er calling out the best so stop with the " leave Haney alone he's just a baby"!

[OhG]

Anybody who believes that Haney is a true CHAMPION and a top 10 guy is full of ****!!! Haney has not fought a top 10 guy and he's a CHAMPION cause of CROOKED Saliaman and please Zaur don't count he was placed in the top 10 for that reason he didn't even belong in the top 10!!! And then he dances around his original mandatory Fortuna!!! He wiggled out of that one after Saliaman arranged it! All you people who believes this bull**** need to look at the facts for opinions don't count!! Haney is not a true CHAMPION he was given a gift, when you look at his record you can't even call him a paper CHAMPION!! This **** is a ****ing joke!! Reality!! Like it or not!!! FACTS are FACTS!!! There's guy in the top 10 that have been waiting for a Title shot that would be a nightmare for Haney!!! Check yourself people!!!
