    Exactly..he's been fighting longer.



    Loma has good wins.
    Didn't really include Loma in the 4 "kings" (Lopez, Haney, Davis, Garcia)...Loma resume is light years better than all of them.

    Going back to my OP, Haney hasn't fought anybody and who he has fought had him hurt pretty bad. I think Kambo can hurt him so I'm not sure why Garcia's record has anything to do with this or Tanks or etc.
    You're saying that Haney hasn't fought anyone, neither has Garcia or Davis. Everyone has fought no one until the day that they finally fight someone i.e Teofimo fighting Loma. All of the 135 lbers have been dropped (except Haney) and being hurt is apart of boxing, they are getting punch in the face after all.

    Mayweather was hurt against Mosley & Saul Alvarez was hurt against Jose Cotto...that still doesn't diminish who they are as boxers.

      At times it is the one's who seem to lack power that hurt people the most because they rush in with no regard.

          Of the “4 kings” Haney is easily the best boxer. Linares is a better offensive fighter than anyone kams seen. Kam can present some challenges for Haney, but he’s not a better boxer and he has a size disadvantage. We’ll see

            There’s a reason both of those high offense guys get put down a lot. Haney will have to make adjustments in the future, I don’t think kambosos is the guy to make him make those moves.

              Anything can happen in boxing, so I'm not going to over-analyze things and just wait for the fight.
              We'll see the result soon anyways. Everything is all speculation now.

                Now im starting to think the only Reason Haney took this fight is because he made a deal with the Devil and Top Rank is going to secure he gets the win. Why would Top Rank sign a young fighter like Haney to a multifight deal with ESPN for big money just to have him lose?

                  - - Heinie can't draw flies and couldn't dent a soap bubble if his life depended on it. It's better $ than he can command in his home country and home town

                    I disagree. Devin Haney has yet to reach the tip of the iceberg in his career. He is still only 23. if you are referring to the Jeff Horn vs Manny Pacquiao bout; You have to remember that Manny was 38 years old then and well past his physical prime when they fought. Otherwise, Pac would have stopped him rather easily when he had the opportunity to do so but due to advancing age and physical decline he just wasn't able to.
