Comments Thread For: Oscar De La Hoya Doubts Devin Haney Would Ever Fight William Zepeda

Imagine the power it takes to be in that situation and arguably also be the biggest star in boxing. Fuck the belts.

yeah thats called manufacturing a star. its a bad thing. you dont want someone to be a star who wont fight anyone good. why dont you get this? also we dont really know how big of a star he is since the only big fight he had he was more of the b-side and he hasnt fought since. here are his numbers when he was the a-side

Hector Garcia – 200K Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero – 275K Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz – 100K Mario Barrios – 200K Leo Santa Cruz – 100K

nothing too amazing there but lets see how his numbers are in his next easy fight and if the grift is truly working. will people tune in to see him knock over tomato cans and teeny tiny men?

just tell me the top guys tank davis beat to make him the top lightweight please. oh wait its all based on fantasy just like i thought. was it his amazing performance against isaac cruz? a guy that looks worse and worse all the time and tank barely beat him if at all. maybe it was teeny tiny hector garcia? or teeny tiny santa cruz? no wait it was rolando romero a complete bum who gets gift decisions every single fight he has. no wait it was 50 year old gamboa! best lightweight doe! he literally has an interim belt and you call him the real champ. so embarrassing for you

The top guys in some orgs and those ranked by Ring and the like aren't gospel. They are corrupt, too, like the alphabets. I don't respect those. Real fans see what they see.

I wasn't even saying whether it was good to be the star in boxing or not. It's not me, it's the boxing fans. People know what they are seeing.

There goes Oscar talking **** again, if he keeps this up they're going to start calling him Oscar Meyer Winner!
William is a damn good fighter who although he has a considerable amount of wins, he's no where near the accomplished fighter/champion Haney is.

hahaha... JoJo Diaz hurt Haney TWICE.!! Zep gave a one sides beating & hurt him at 1 point. Haney is CLEARLY OVERRATED & yes Zep will bust his ass too

[11Combos]

Of course Haney is not gonna fight Zepeda, Oscar.... Haney, Shakur & Tank wont no part of Zepeda

[Toprope]

he fought the number 1 guy in the division instead. so silly you fall for fighter propaganda. haney was only calling loma out because he knew he wasnt going to be fighting him. loma even said make me an offer or im fighting lopez...what did dazn do? oh nothing. then loma tried to fight him even after losing to lopez, haney chose ta-da linares! only after loma looked bad against ortiz did haney finally fight him and we know what happened there.

blah, blah, blah....but what is not propaganda, since Haney is missing one of those belts and may move out, is that Stevenson beats the shiznit out Zepeda...again, what you think?

[richardt]

Hey Richardt, how you been, bro?

I don't know if you know my history on this site as a hardcore Zepeda fan. I was on that wagon since even before the Tanajara fight, before anybody really knew him. The Tanajara win sealed the deal for William as one of the top lightweight contenders. I used to rank him above Haney before Haney even had any of those meaningless, and crooked belts.

The point is 140 is easy for Zepeda. I wouldn't be surprised if he himself is struggling to make weight at 135. I remember one fight where he couldn't make 135. He might be much better at 140.

If it happens, this might be the FIRST exciting Haney fight I have seen, ever. Zepeda, with his volume punching, won't let it be boring.

Oscar, make the fight.

Yeah, Zepeda vs Haney would be in intriguing and most likely exciting in every round of the fight. A great jab from one guy vs the volume of the other. I hope it can get made!
