Comments Thread For: Devin Haney: People Love To Hate Me; I Embrace It Now Because What Can I Do? I'm Me

[MulaKO]

Only racists hate you Devin. You’ve chased greatness and acquired it at such a young age. You beat loma at 23. The same racists that said Floyd cherry-picked canelo, didn’t scream loma cherry-picked YOU. Both you and canelo were 23 against Floyd/loma.

When there’s a double standard just look at the skin tone. If you start to see a pattern against people with brown skin then you know it’s the usual racism in the sport.

Devin barely talks trash. He’s extremely humble and most trash talk is him defending himself from actual trash talk. We’ve seen canelo get disrespectful and trash talk a bunch of people. We’ve seen teo and Ryan do it all the time. Yet people are commenting that Devin talks too much trash?! Prejudice never hides.

Out of all the young dudes Devin was the only one being to fight em all. Devin was the only one accepting absolutely horrible offers because it was the only way to get the other guy to fight him. Devin took all the risks and came out on top.

Didn’t manny Pacquiao literally fight an Australian school teacher? A school teacher. A part time boxer. Where was the hatred for that? Are racists saying that Horn would’ve beaten canelo? Because they called Floyd a cherrypicker for fighting canelo. Yet gave Manny a pass with the schoolteacher.

Devin jumped up to 140 and without a tune up is fighting the most dangerous AND MOST PROVEN dude in the division. Regis is a 2x champion knockout artist in the division. Teo has one good win at the division. Regis is more proven at 140 than Teo. He’s been there longer, been a champion longer, and fought higher quality of opposition. Devin is copying Floyd by jumping up and fighting the top guy with no tune up. Manny took tuneups. Canelo took tuneups. Oscar took tuneups. Floyd immediately went after the #1 guy and now Devin is doing it.

Real boxing fans appreciate it. Do I think he retires undefeated? No. He’s taking so many risks and isn’t a hard puncher. But I also don’t think any of these young guys retire undefeated except maybe Shakur or Tank. That’s it. Just those two. Vargas boys get whooped. Regis already took an L. Teo took a L to someone Devin dominated effortlessly. (Just because Ik yall were going to argue teo beat taylor who beat Regis) (Well keep that same energy.)

Ryan is journeyman level and needs a few more fights against journeymen before stepping up to contenders. But he runs his mouth more than a boarding school of teenage girls. So people want to see him step up and get whooped again. Realistically he should only be fighting journeymen like Duarte. Although he needs to stop cherry-picking the smallest guys he can find and bringing them up 10lbs.

teo will hold his belt hostage. He’s not going to fight matias or Gary Russell. Devin and Regis are tied up. I’d like to see a rematch against Martin because that was a robbery. But teo is cut from canelo cloth NOT Floyd’s cloth. Floyd immediately rematched those controversial “close” fights. Immediately. Ran it back and dominated them even more the second time. Canelo nor teo are built like that.

So , Regis Rougarou Prograis is a damn racist ?
Lmfao
He said exactly what everyone is saying about your idol Haney
Just cause it don’t ring well in your head it’s racist
But yes his skin colour , oh sorry they’re the same
Sounds like your the fughin racist using colour as an excuse
Try again arzehole

Calling out everyone at 135, becoming the youngest undisputed champion in the 4 belt era. Fighting arguably the best or 2nd best 140 pounder in his first fight at the weight? Bad attitude where? You like guys that duck and create excuses?

Oh ok, I love him now, my bad, I didn’t realize he called everyone out. I thought all he did was beat chump Kambozo twice and lose to Lomachenko

[JonDP]

It’s not as if you are going to date him, why the concept over his attitude and not his wins/career?

Because he fights like a douche. Him and Sakur Stevenson are cut from the same cloth.

Are you an alt-right edgelord who likes talking about "muh red pill" and calling people "cuck" like it's still 2016?

If you think Iā€™m a Trumplodyte, then youā€™re an idiot. I think you have to ask yourself how when someone is being honest and truthful that it makes you melt.

Sounds like you're too emotionally involved. 90% of the online boxing community are angry edgelords. Are you an angry edgelord?

At least Haney had balls to fight Loma. While Gervonta ducked him for years!

[dan-b]

People donāt like him because (1) he lies all the time. (2) he was on the winning end of one of the worst Robberies of the Decade (not exactly his fault) About 90 percent believe Loma is or was the real undisputed champ (3) his fighting style is typically not the most fan friendly due to a lack of power and being overly defensive (4) the way he talks and what he says is phony (5) he drops the N word every 5 seconds and (6) heās an idiot.

He hasn't had a prime elite opponent. Loma is a natural 130 pounder, 35 years old and to many he lost to Loma. I'll give him credit for choosing Regis, but lets come back after Saturday and see where he is really at.

People throw this "prime elite" argument around all the time, they're subjective terms people use to make it sound like they're making a solid argument.

RJJ-94-02=GOAT FYI above - there it is again.

He earned big respect for taking the short end and flying down to Oz to take those belts from Kambosos. And a rematch too. Just by facing Loma, he has a deeper resume than Ryan Garcia and Tank Davis. His style is not appealing. But what makes it worse is his delusion. He's an elite fighter but not a great one yet. That sentiment should be reserved for boxing fans to develop over time.
