"I believe the ref could've let it go on a little longer."

    We've heard it all and I've personally felt the frustration of watching a fighter NOT take the necessary steps to ensure the bout continues. You're right, I can't really remember a fighter blatantly lunging to keep from being stopped. Well, I can't really remember if they champions or not.

    I just saw John Molina hang on for dear life against Redkach, then came back to stop him. Hell, Sor Rungvisai held on to Chocolatito in the final round when he was hurt. Adonis Stevenson blatantly held against Badou Jack in the last round. Holyfield's done it a time or two. Juanma Lopez has done it as well.

    Just say you wanted Haney to sell out and get stopped for your own viewing pleasure and I'll move on. Seriously, it's not much ground left to cover here.
    Wanted Haney- who ridiculously claimed he was NOT hurt- to finish the like he had been fighting the majority of the fight or at least move and safely box. It was like he was terrified of getting clipped again and KO’d. All the guys u mentioned above were struggling to keep their feet and held on instinct . Haney looked like his head was clear in the final 2 rds and still held on for dear life....thats the difference.

      You're stinking it up right now. Now, you wanna walk back on your points and give my examples no merit. Not today.

      You can't say the other guys were struggling on their feet and held "on instinct." Isn't that what Haney did? Yes, he was buckled but nowhere nearly as bad as the examples I gave. We've seen Gamboa hang on for dear life. Adonis Stevenson definitely should've lost a point in the final round against Jack. Juanma should've had more stoppage losses on his record than we've seen.

      Nobody wants to get "clipped" again after they've nearly pitched a shutout. The point is to establish a pace and keep it by all means. Whether his head was clear or not, it's not his job to do what you say. Hasn't Floyd basically "ran" or "packed it in" in the final round? After putting on a rather convincing performance?

      It's not a fighter's job to give the loser a chance to close his eyes and land something big, especially late in the fight.

      You still haven't admitted that you just wanted Haney to go out swinging. Man, I'm giving you a chance to walk away but you won't leave well enough alone.

        Never seen Floyd man-hug over and over....or dive at his opponents waist two rds after he got clipped and was supposedly not hurt. Lol! Go to espn boxing...they speak of what Haney did in the last 2rds..it was blatant and disgraceful to do that 2 rds later after being wobbled - but supposedly not hurt by the supposedly “not all that powerful” Linares. Its not called “coasting or packing it in”...its called blatantly breaking the rules and embarrassing urself during the last 2 championship rds and with ur pathetic post fight comments about Linares power and not being hurt.

He did get hit with a good right cross at the end of the 10th round however and yet it still didn't floor him or knock him out.
          Are you on drugs? Did you even watch the fight? Haney is a joke lmfao

            Haney claims to be great but he looked like a chump. He needed the ref to save his ass. Haney got long breaks when the ref warned Linares (for nothing) while letting Haney clinch, hug, punch in the clinch, low blow, forearm to neck all WITH NO WARNINGS. Haney literally HUGGED during all of round 10 and 11 and he was weary in round 12.

            I want a fighter to WIN a fight not be GIFTED a fight. The ref was probably a literal employee of Haney's camp because that was a horrific scene to watch. Linares was ROBBED of a beautiful TKO and Haney was allowed to turn the boxing match into a WWE event because he has no defense or chin.

            GTFO you wannabe black MeanestNiceGuy

                  and what did you see my wanna be white power posing friend posting across multiple Alt accounts while pretending to be white? Remember that online you could still be that movie star or a boxing champ daydreamer. I guess tomorrow you will become another Brit

                    Styles make fights....please don't forget that. Think back on all of the "power punchers" in big fights against their equals (e.g. skill, power and/or popularity) and tell me what the result was. Typically, the power puncher didn't finish the fight by stoppage.

                    Again, if we're going add Haney into the mix of top guys at 135, then he needs to be extended the same benefit of the doubt as the others. We've seen Lopez handled against Nakatani, so, you mean to tell me that Haney won't give Lopez problems if he does some of the same things Nakatani did? To some degree?

                    And Tank is this big power puncher but what happens when a guy presses him, works behind the jab and works the body? Can Haney bring that to the table and show us a different Tank? Again, these fights where the "power puncher" is the end all be all, hardly ended in stoppages....especially against a more skilled guys who can neutralize that power.
                    Bro I'm fully aware styles make fights, that's what makes boxing interesting, one guy can dominate a division but then come across a guy who's barely in the top 15 and have real trouble but that's not my point, I already insinuated Haney will give Lopez real problems but it's whether he can do that for 12 rounds without getting caught and I don't see that happening after watching the Linares fight, I could be wrong as anything can happen in the ring but after watching his chin really struggle in the championship rounds I think Lopez will win against him, and tank for that matter too

                      I think linares had a lot of trouble setting his feet to throw, haney kept peppering him with that jab and keeping him off balance for most of the first 7/8 rounds. It wasnt until the later half of the fight did he start to really turn over on his punches.
