    Always so much made about Haneys power or lack of

    How about I'll be the first to say Kambosos is just as featherfisted if not more so.

    50% K.O ratio against scrubs and super featherweights.
    He dropped a chinny, weight drained Teo who had zero regard for defense doe!

    Why does nobody mention his lack of power every 5 mins?

    One win doesn't make you anything. Mickey Bey and Lee Selby aren't even a C+ in today's environment. I respect Selby. As Davis says, Lopez is a garbage boxer.

      How about saying Kambosos lack of power is irrelevant? He wins by decision, not power. How many people expects Kambosos to win by KO? Probably 2 or 3.

        There always has to be a lightening rod for the haterade machine... Haterade much like coffee is in demand! For a while it was Dylan Whyte... and not it has become Haney... no reason in particular. Haney is in that haterade LImelight...

            I think the reason why people have jumped on Haney's lack of power is because he fights like a line drive hitter trying to swing for the fences. That is what has got him in trouble against Linares, and made previous performances look ragged. I think he was under pressure to stop those guys and longer the fight went the more risks he took to make that happen, but he should have been focused on boxing his way to the finish line.

            I don't think he yet understands what he is as a boxer but there is a big potential there if he can put it together, he'll have his ups and downs at elite level but he will last if he realises some of the above. I still think there are more talented guys who will beat him but he should be beating a Kambosos.

                A lot of posters on NSB judge a boxer primarily on power. Others like to just talk about boxer weaknesses rather than strengths.

                Also, Haney made race related comments that some posters use as justification to hate him so they are going to do nothing but criticize him.

                Kambosis is a relative unknown. Posters have only seen him in with Teo. He hasn’t made any negative race comments. So his lack or power isn’t really a discussion point.

                  Haney couldn't KO or drop shot to pieces Gamboa. That automatically makes him more feather fisted to me.

                    Kambosos boxes at home, he is the champ, he will be aggressor. he will get a decision unless Haney stops him.
