Comments Thread For: Rolly Romero Rips Shakur Stevenson: "He's The Most Boring Fighter In The History Of Boxing"

Haney is good, but if you're at, or near, world level and have some power (not even one-punch power) – then there's a decent chance you can knock Haney out. He's there to be taken for sure, which is why everyone wants a piece of him.

Intrigued to see if he'll have a better chin and recovery at 140lbs.

Alot of fans believe because he got stunned once there's a 'decent' chance you'll knock him out, just because of the Linares fight how many years ago LOL. Did fighters have a easy chance at KO'ing Floyd because he got hurt badly against Judah, Mosley & Maidana? Or Canelo with Cotto's brother?
Kambosos touched Haney a couple times with very good shots, he took it extremely well and came back with heat. Teo didn't take those shots extremely well.

Who exactly has been making an effort to fight Haney?

...but he not trying to fight him

Shakur would UD Rolly with his eye Close Complete One-Sided Schooling

That's a ridiculous comparison. Boots is leagues above Rolly in terms of skill regardless of whether you think he's undefeated or not.
Boots has one mediocre performance and all of a sudden he's trash right? Give me a break.

You keep ignoring the BUSINESS of boxing. Which is personality, not skill.

Rolly is the only fighter I seen get knocked out and get even more popular. If he fights shakur he might become the new face of boxing lol.

That may be the comment of the day....

No worries. Every fighter Tank has fought has more or less "held thier own" until they made a mistake and got caught. Doesn't necessarily make them great fighters though.

This is a very fair point. I guess I’d like to see Rolly get another shot.

this guys is a bum who's only a topic of conversation because pbc has a habbit of stalling their fighters careers making them fight cans and hyping up said bums as far better than they actually are to make pbc fighters look better for beating them. the casuals aren't fooled.

Maybe that's the way prepubescent social media fans see it but to legitimate boxing fans it's a competitive pro sport where the best BOXERS should get the opportunities, not some sideshow clown like Rolly. This isn't a junior high popularity contest. It's a dangerous sport where no hopers should not be getting opportunities because they talk a lot of trash. People who aren't interested in watching the most skilled and accomplished boxers fight each other because they don't go "viral" on social media by spouting nonsense are the scum of the sport that should be permanently wiped clean.

I think what he is saying is only partly true. Most pure boxers are twelve round fighters who rely heavily on the three official judges scorecards.

Where I disagree is his assessment of both Haney and Stevenson. Neither guy is far from boring in my judgement. I know their styles aren't suited for every boxing fan but unlike him they are both undefeated and the most important thing; It's a successful formula.

If it is so then why change it?

"No matter how...you...cut it, slice it or weigh it", the BUSINESS of boxing is the only thing keeping it going.

Generic personality fighters will go nowhere because they won't draw money.

No fans, no boxing.

At some point, you and some others here need to come to terms with that truth.
