Haney is utterly shameless weightbully

[The D3vil]

Well, that's a little unfair to judge based on that, as Lomachenko's a natural 126lber.

135 was always too big for him. We knew that when he fought Linares.

He should've stayed at 126 or 130, but nobody would fight him at those weights

If Devin stays at 135 beyond this year, then I might agree with you, but he just became undisputed, I wouldn't call him a weight bully . . .YET.

Loma is utterly blown up LW and you know that. Haney MUSTN'T lose that fight. He'll also lose his all belts (and career) in a loss regardless of his absurd size advantage.

Did you claim Rigendoux waa a "blown" up fighter when he fought Lomachenko?


I didn't think so


Lomachenko is not "blown up." He can't make 126 pounds anymore and it's that simple.

Seems there's an agenda here against Haney to me.

I am no Haney fan, I was very critical of him when he had that Belt that he was elevated to having and I don't rate him as highly as others.

But I call a spade a spade, he's undisputed champion at the weight now and he's fighting the #1 ranked guy next.

From an objective standpoint that only deserves respect.

Interesting. So why weren't you saying that here then?

Nonito is literally the same size as Loma. Remember, Loma fought at featherweight before anything else. So why did we never hear about Donaire being too big for Rigondeaux? I've got to call a spade a spade

Haney will hug loma to death and *win* 8 or 9 rounds. This will almost certainly be a stinker.

I genuinely don't understand your point.

That's Rigondeauex's best win by far.

Exactly!! You just proved my point.

Haney is roughly the same size as Crawford. Roughly the same size as Mayweather. Young fighters do this because they can. If we don't like it maybe change the rules to limit rehydration.

Haney is following the rules and owes nobody an apology, imo.

Absolutely true. I can't say otherwise, provided he's rehydrating naturally. There's a long and storied history of guys who rehydrate more than 12 pounds doing so intravenously. So provided that's not the case, it's in the rules. I'm just very su****ious. This was a problem in the early days of the UFC, and guys were rehydrating 20 plus pounds. Once they banned that method of rehydration, guys were rehydrating around 10 to 12 pounds.

Exactly!! You just proved my point.

Right so what is your point?

Because by your own logic here Rigondeaux was obviously not too small for Doniare, was he?

Just like Lomachenko isn't too small for Haney.

[joseph5620]

True that but fighters that can cut a lot of weight are much stronger. As they go up in weight their KOes start to drop or their punches are not as taxing against similar foes.

Haney moves and holds a lot and it will get worst as he goes up in weight and can't move the other fighters with his punches.
Who know if it would be beneficial for his power if he moves up in weight.

Fighters that cut lots of weight are usually weakened. I've never seen one say they're "stronger"
