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

oh yeah he calls loma privileged and protected when he was the guy who got the call in their close fight and he got a clear UD in that fight, thats privileged actually, hes got it backwards, u get those results u are the privileged guy, hello

I keep wondering how he can have such fast hands and such low power. Maybe he'll get into 140 or 147 and start knocking guys out. That would be hilarious if he turned into a KO machine.

“At the end of the day, you know, people love to hate me,” Haney told DAZN’s Chris Mannix for an “Off The Cuff” segment that was released recently. “You know, I don’t know what it is.” ~ Devin Haney

It's the way you fight. It's your phoney gangster image. It's your dad.

If you don't like truth, call it hate.

I guess pushing Loma so hard in the weigh-in faceoff is not hateful.

“So, it is what it is. They hate the greats"

lol this guy is just so full of himself, his fav pastime is calling himself a great

dude, u just fell over the line v loma, some say u were saved by the corrupt vegas morettis of this world, just because u werent lauded after the fight doesnt mean everyone hates u, u said you were going to dominate and retire loma & acted like a petulant spoilt brat after the fight demanding flowers and completely ruling out a rematch after a close fight as well, deal with it, now shove off too

Haney isn't gonna win many fans with his boring style of fighting(hugging and pillow fisted), so he might as well play the heel role. If he continues winning, plenty of people will pay to see him lose.

I think he's great. People shouting at him on social media probably have mental health problems and are definitely unhappy with their lives. People love "undisputed" and he went to foreign territory to achieve it. We might see some more pop in his shots at 140 and 147, I'm looking forward to seeing how he does.

People don’t 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) he’s an idiot.

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.

This is the most deluded fanboy drivel I’ve read in some time. Are some teenage girl simping on Devin? Manny did not want to fight Horn. He was going to fight Amir Khan but that fight fell through. And Horn was ranked as a contender. Manny was also OLD. This post had me laughing. So much ******ity in this post I cannot address all of it ​
