He is bum.
What is your opinion on Haney overall?

The hype doesn't match the level of opposition he's been in.
He could have at least fought the likes of Commey, Nakatani, Pedraza...
All of which are not tied to Arum/TR. Commey is with Dibella, etc.
Not semi-retired guys like Gamboa, Linares...
I can't even see Haney's best win Diaz faring well with Richard Commey,
Nakatani, Pedraza...Comment

Skilled fighter, nice movement and hand speed. Less than stellar power and uncertain durability. I think he's a tough out for whenever he faces, but he's also vulnerable himself.Comment

Excellent boxer who will never get the credit he deserves but even as a fan I must admit his fights are a chore too watch.
You just know its going 12 with no knockdowns or drama.
For me I enjoy him for 4-5 rounds and think the stoppage is coming but then it just feels more of the same or even less when he hits cruise control.
I just wish he had a bit more of a dig on him that is for sure but feel he may well once he moves up as is definitely very tight at the weight. I think he will hit a lot harder at 140
Best at 135 from a skills and talent perspective but that isn't to say others can't beat him though I'd only likely favour Tank currently.Comment

He’s a skilled fighter. Try’s to fight like Floyd but he’s not smart enough and he’s not fit enough. He’s a huge lightweight so maybe he should move up, because he trains hard. But somehow it isn’t translating to his fights, because I’ve seen him fade down the stretch a few times.Comment

If you get hit with a solid but mediocre punch and it addles you, I'd consider that a chin defect. Fighters like Ruiz, for instance, can be knocked down but are nearly unaffected when they get up. That to me is a first class chin. If you are still in survival mode more than a round after taking a solid shot, that is a problem absorbing punches and I'd call it a chin problem.
Is that the wrong term?Comment

I've seen Haney fight in the pocket...what are you talking about. But everything else you wrote about Andrade is true, he has no inside game whatsoever.Haney is another fighter similar to guys like Andrade who likes giving it but hates taking it. They hit, then disengage, hold on for dear life, can't trade and fight on close quarters, then bend down on the waist so that the opponent can only hit the back of his head, which is illegal. In sum, it's a horrible style. You can be certain that fans would root for the opponent because of such ****** style. Just saw another guy with similar style in Conlan, who I immediately rooted against. Wood deservedly won the fight.Comment
