    My least favorite type of fighter: very hard to beat, incredibly boring, lacking power, hugger.

    Top talent, just don’t want to see him. Devon Alexander, Miguel Vazquez, Andrade, Lara, cut from similar mold.

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?
      It’s like the Anti-Marquez. I don’t mind boxers getting dropped. It’s the inherent ability to get your senses back.

        Andrade is just a bum and doesn't deserve to be mentioned with those other guys.

        World champions Andrade has faced: (none)

        World champions Devon Alexander has faced: DeMarcus Corley, Junior Witter, Juan Urango, Andreas Kotelnik, Timothy Bradley, Marcos Maidana, Randall Bailey, Shawn Porter, Amir Khan, Victor Ortiz, Andre Berto

        World champions Miguel Vazquez has faced: Canelo Alvarez (twice), Timothy Bradley, Mickey Bey, Argenis Mendez, Josh Taylor

        World champions Erislandy Lara has faced: Carlos Molina, Paul Williams, Canelo Alvarez, Ishe Smith, Jan Zaveck, Yuri Forman, Jarrett Hurd, Brian Castano

        Even Haney has Gamboa, Linares, Diaz, and soon Kambosos on his resume and he's only 23. And I've been and still am critical of Haney.

        Andrade doesn't fight anybody good because he doesn't want to. There's no other reason. He doesn't get to be mentioned with legitimate warriors like Erislandy Lara, Devon Alexander, or Miguel Vazquez.

            For what it’s worth, Haney is two years younger than your hero (Conor Benn). And your right Haneys resume isn’t good yet but it shytes all over Conor Benns.

              I think Haney is a good fighter with 0 power similar to Stevie Johnston. I think he beats Kambosis 10-2 and loses 7-5 on the cards in australia.

                I don't see Kambosos getting tired. I think he's going to break Haney down with constant pressure.
                Maybe so. That is why it’s a compelling fight.

                Like him or not, Haney is at the point where he can control his own destiny.

                Best part for me is he can prove a lot of the haters wrong.

                  Could very well be his Floyd moment if he beats Kam 2x and Loma. He can go wherever he wants after that

                    I guess that means if he starts making far fetched excuses for ducking and cherrypicking, you will be there to defend him.
