Haney has been wanting to fight everyone. He wanted to fight Loma when he was 19. He wanted to fight Teo right after he beat Kambosas. Haney is willing to fight anyone. The only person I kind of get the feeling they don't want that smoke with is Stevenson. Maybe not devin. But Bill Haney seems kind of hesitant when it comes to Stevenson.

The hate for Haney is out of hand!

Originally posted by CharlieStewart View Post"They did this bs with Rigondeaux also and sat him on the shelf" lmfao no, what happened is Loma didn't even want that fight he said Rigo was too small, but the black fans made that fight happen. Rigo - Loma was touted as a 50/50 fight, with many making Rigo the fav, then after Loma made him quit the narrative was completely rewritten.
All the critique of Haney is valid. I wouldn't call his basic one two punch style pure boxing. He's a huge guy for the division and looks like a welterweight, while Loma barely gets credit for fighting 2 weight classes higher than he should. Loma is also clearly on the physical decline, and suffering from ring rust due the Ukraine situation.
If Haney wins it would be a good win, but nothing special. Yes it would be a better win than what Tank or Garcia have on their resume, but they're also hype jobs especially garcia who hasn't proven ****, so thats not saying much.
Haney has a "one-two" punch style? Hmmm, I have only seen the "one-one-hold" style from him.Teetotaler69

They have removed Lomachenko from the P4P lists purely to discredit Haney should he win.
Then the media, fans are salivating over Tank vs Garcia - Two serial duckers who have simply ran out of undefeated C level opponents and faded, little B level guys to fight so are now forced to either fight each other or get schooled and shown up for what they truly are vs Haney. Once again, the path of least resistance. Not to say its not a good fight but that is the real situation here. People are tired of seeing Tank vs these unknown, undefeated novices and if they ain't they damn well should be.
Kambosos is better than anything either of them have on their record as-is Loma even if he is old and that will remain regardless who wins until the loser bounces back and actually beats someone with a pulse.
They call themselves boxing fans but they don't support pure boxers who are credits to the sports, they just downplay them and give all the props to limited punchers who make careers out of fighting fringe guys and wonder why the sports dead.
Lomachenko hasn't even stepped in the ring yet and they are already downplaying him as much as possible in an attempt to discredit Haney.
They did this bs with Rigondeaux also and sat him on the shelf. Justified everyone ducking him and would overly praise the likes of Frampton, LSC, QuiggEl_Mero likes this.
