    Haney reminds me on Joshua

    He doesn˙t like to get hit and he doesn`t really know how to use his reach advantages.

    He is a KO waiting to happen, just he hasn`t faced his Ruiz yet. When he loses a couple of fights, the same fans that now enjoy his gift will say he is a hype job.

    Haney is on the verge of nailing a good defence. He doesn't get drawn into toe to toe. He is disciplined. He doesn't go head hunting. With his reach and skill, he could be as defensively good as Mayweather, just depends whether he has the mental stamina. I think he has the IQ.

      Well, loma had him wobbly as **** in the 11th. He could do better with defense, if anything.

        haney demanded his dues but he only got boos

        if loma can smack him around a bit and even wobble him im not sure how he will get on at WW LMAO

        he may have to reassess his goal of being one of the greats of all time and currently the best out there

        he still has his 0 tho, maybe this was just a bit of a blip, style make fights, just making a case here

          If anything Haney is less likely to be ducked now because he can clearly be beaten. Loma could and should have beaten him, but could have done more, but still showed up that Haney is not as water tight as he may have been thought of before.

          'Robbery' or not, I don't know how much higher Haney's stock is even though he's just beaten Loma. I think he's on the same footing, and as I said, even more attractive to fight if anything.

            Yeah except Haney doesn’t have AJs power to keep guys honest. Tank is going to march in and drill him after a few rounds.

              That's crazy as **** considering how huge he is. But he definitely kept kambsos and loma in check, at least till the later rounds.

                He’s a weight bully and he still can’t ko anybody. I think he is over-rated but he’s been very carefully matched.
                Tank knocks him out and Shakur will piece him up.

                  I never understood why people thought Haney was some master boxer. It’s obviously just people who don’t know what they’re watching but a lot of people thought this dude was some elite technician.

                  Haney has good feet, fast hands and knows to utilise his size/length/athleticism to control the range, but if you can get into mid or short range he’s not difficult to hit. He isn’t slippery like a Floyd or a Hopkins. He doesn’t have an inside game like a Ward or a Toney where he can slip punches in close.
