Comments Thread For: Kambosos: I Give Haney His Full Respect, Let Him Have His Time And We'll Do It Again

[GFunk23]

Haney will never be mistaken for any of those mentioned..by any stretch. My point still stands that THEY are all TECHNICIANS and thus by some "boring". How Haney fares in the future is irrelevant to me. He is a safety first fighter who plys his trade behind the jab. It is in his DNA. He has been successful with it thus far. Take it or leave it. He took the loud mouth Kambosos to school. Reduced him to being a timid , fraudulent clown. It was good enough to ensure his place in the history books!!!

I agree that Haney is a very skilled operator in the ring. I like his jab, how he turns his opponents and manages distance. However your initial post seemed to compare him to Floyd, SOG, Sweet Pea and Mayweather and that is simply not the case- at least for now unless Haney’s game evolves. Floyd, Sweet Pea, SOG and Ali were elite boxer-punchers who could beat you multiple ways. Haney has been successful against better fighters mainly by doing what he did on Saturday and as a result lacks a real fan base and has literally been boo’d in his hometown. Kambosos in most folks’ eyes, was a prime target for the top LWs and Haney was smart to jump on the opportunity.

i heard that Garcia and Haney won 2 each when they fought each other in the amateurs. I would like to see these guys fight. I feel like Garcia will get clipped by Tank if their fight happens but I think Garcia vs Haney is intriguing because they are physically almost the same height and reach, Haney has better movement, defense and ring generalship, while Garcia I feel has faster hands and more power.

Garcia with his speed and that Donaire like left hook is a threat to anyone in the division including Tank and Haney. I guess it is his diva like behavior that is turning a lot of fans off. Hopefully we get to see these fights.
