Haney is utterly shameless weightbully

[Cypocryphy]

No they were 2 weight classes apart. Lomachenko was competing at 130 lbs for over a year and was the champion there and Rigondeaux was competing at 122. That's 2 weight classes.

So it actually does disprove your stance because if we've established Rigondeaux wasn't too small for Donaire, it's the same line of thinking for Lomachenko not being too small for Haney. Which is true in both cases.

LMAO No it doesn't. Quit trying to fight a square peg in a round hole. You're like in the 1 percent who believes this nonsense.

That wasn't my question or my statement. If Lomachenko was small at 130 why would he be worried about rehydration over 138 pounds? That was the question.


Haney makes the weight at 135. So why would he agree to that? Lomachenko isn't complaining so his fan base shouldn't either.

Did he worry about rehydration over 138 lbs? It's been many years so I forgot.

It literally does

The two fights are carbon copies of one another.

Donaire and Rigondeaux the #1 and #2 guys at the weight class, had both been there for multiple years. Rigondeaux (the smaller man) dominated the fight to further show he's clearly not too small for the weight class.

The exact same scenario in regards to Haney and Lomachenko at 135 other than we're yet to see who the winner will be.

No. My point was that he wasn't small at 130. If he was there wouldn't have been a rehydration clause for 138 pounds.

No. My point was that he wasn't small at 130. If he was there wouldn't have been a rehydration clause for 138 pounds.

I thought the clause was more for Rigo's sake as he still was moving up. I don't think Loma at 130 is the same as Haney at 135.

It was for Rigendoux's sake which was my point. Lomachenko was not small at 130.

If he can make the weight then what's the issue?

the issue is that a guy they've ***rode for years is about to get his azz whipped. That's the issue. It was no issue for Loma fighting Rigo who was coming up 2 weight classes. Now they are making it seem like Haney walks around at 250 lbs

Chavez Jr is the best example. He used to squeeze himself to 160 and as limited he was he had power and a huge size. Once he couldn't shrink anymore that huge advantage left.
Munguia is the other weight bully that unless it is a third tier fighter he can't use his size anymore to bully smaller fighters.
As fighters get older they loose that ability to cut so much weight and using their size to their advantage.
ODLH was devastating at the lower weights but as he went up and could drop so much he had to work more for his wins.

there is no such thing as a weight bully in boxing. If someone makes the weight, they make the weight. The funniest part about all of this is that Shakur is calling Haney a weight bully, BUT SHAKUR LOST HIS BELT ON THE SCALE!!!!!!!!

[buddyr]

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.

NO!! Crawford was walking aroun dat 180 when he fought at lw. He even posted pics of the scale. Does Haney look like he's 180 here?

If they make weight they make weight. Shakur wants the fight but shouldn't be talking about being a weight bully. Canelo made weight against Cotton and Cotton couldn't move him with is punches. There is an advantage if you can squeeze yourself down safely.
