    I've been on boxing sites for a long time, and literally every fighter has their dedicated **** riders, and dedicated fanatical haters, and a bunch of normal people who don't care that much except when their fight is actually on the TV in front of them, and after just about every fight the fans of the one guy ask why everyone hates them when it's just the usual vocal collection of detractors at it again.

    I watched Haneys fight, he clearly won, and won against a top 10 guy, and didn't look like the second coming of Christ while doing it, and that's the truth of the matter. He's good enough to conceivably win against any of the other top lightweights but not head and shoulders above the rest of the pack at all.

      Exactly, and that’s a fair, objective view.

        Everyone knew Haney was going to win. Most did. But the problem people have is that Haney has a tremendous amount of hype. But it's clear that for someone touted as a skilled defensive fighter, his defense is terrible. Had he not fought another pillow fisted boxer, he would have been finished. And speaking of pillow fisted, Haney can't punch. He's supposed to be able to at least be putting people away at lightweight considering he rehydrates to 160 plus pounds. He can't put away a little guy in there. He's going to take an L soon unless he's carefully matched.
        Haney said himself he is killing himself making weight but doesn't move up where he could fight Taylor for undisputed. The bold says it all. He doesn't have power at 135 so he would be in trouble at 140 and considering his chin is suspect he is a knockout loss waiting to happen IMO. I do believe he gets stopped at 135 and uses dehydration as an excuse though before he moves up.
