Devin Haney refuses to say his walking around weight in interview

[The Big Dunn]

Of course not but apparently it can be too scary for some.

That isnt fear. That is using your power as the bigger earner to create an environment that is to your benefit.

No different than ODH making Bhop come in at 156, Manny making Margs come in at 151, etc. etc.

It's fear. I don't care how many others were afraid, it's still fear of going up against someone who might overpower and defeat you.

No it isnt. Its using your negotiating power. You’re entitled to your opinion.

[Offensive Wizardry]

I don’t think anyone cares, nor is it relevant, what weight a boxer is at outside of competition.

If Haney makes 135 at the weigh in, he’s a LW.

its very relevant.

it shows what actual weight class a boxer is suppose to be in instead of being a weight bully trying to take advantage of the 24hr rehydration system.

if a guy walks around as a light heavyweight or super middleweight,

he has no business fighting below 154lbs.

haney refuses to tell his walk around weight because he knows people will make fun of him for being a weight bully. similar to floyd refusing to show his fight night weights despite his fanbase saying "he small too doe" "he dont rehydrate much doe"

or floyd using a cw against marquez then breaking the contract and having to pay marquez for not living up to the agreement both guys agreed to.

or floyd forcing canelo to fight at a cw despite floyd being a 2x 154lb champion himself.

Your boy Floyd was scared that Marquez might hit him more than twice. Thats why he welched him on the catchweight of 144 pounds.

Marquez was already a lightweight why was Floyd so scared.

Thats my opinion.

Not really anything else to discuss.

If you are a real fan of the sport, you know walking around weight of a boxer is not relevant.

Agreed. Should have asked him his Ring night weight. That’s what matters. I spoke to Antonio Tarver a while back and he told me he was always around 195-200lbs when camp started. Walk around weight means nothing.

Like I posted, etc. etc. There are many examples of CWs.

IIRC (it’s been a while) Hopkins didn’t have to come in that low contractually, it was like a 158 catch weight (if there even was one) and he came in at 156 to prove that weight was never an issue
