    How? Lomachenko is still one of the best fighters in the world in any division. Not long before this fight was made there were a lot of people here claiming Haney would duck Lomachenko. Now the narrative is changing.

    Also Haney is not two weight classes above Lomachenko. They are both required to make 135. So your alternate reality doesn't work here.


    You're trying to create scenarios that no matter what happens Haney gets no credit. Easy to see through.

      But you were making it our like he was dismissing Haney when he wasn't. Compared to Mayweather, almost everyone is less than Mayweather.

        I think I'm being generous to Loma when I say that Haney wins a close or split decision. It could be wider. As much as I like the older guys to get a big win in every single fight, reality is that time comes in and makes room for the new and out with the old. But Hopkins had a lot to say about that at a much older age than other fighters in and around 35. Damn, I miss Hopkins. I really like how he defused younger guys.

            Now that's more like the fight might play out, I'm definitely looking forward to this clash of two world class fighter's.

There are many more boxers who fought and beat more high level opponents in their prime and numerous times at that. The new generation of boxing fans just see Floyd's undefeated record and think that automatically makes him "TBE". It doesn't no matter how many times he and his cheerleaders say it, it doesn't make it so.

              Floyd beat over a dozen HoF guys plus a slew of ATG.
              The “new generation” of fans! … stop making assumptions about people.

                29 year old May's resume crushes Devins.
                Not open for debate.

                If you have links on May failing any tests.......

                  They are so bitter over their favorite fighters not being able to do what May has.
                  Bum for bum, I'm sure their heroes have many more than May.
                  And chances are a bum beat their guy.

                    That’s why my response to them always addresses the toxic hate, bitterness and bile they harbor.
                    They’ll speak about someone like PAC (their idol often times) as a top 5 GOAT while forgetting Floyd beat him and so did Marquez (a common foe) who destroyed him as did many others.
                    They make crazy assumptions that to criticize Pacqiao means to dislike him which is not true.

                      All the red flags are pointing that floyd mayweather jr was on PEDS. Haney is a warrior and clean athlete while floyd was a coward and a cheater.
