    Here's the deal. Haney fought the entire fight with Loma off the front foot. Which was the reason why Loma kept tagging him with those lead left hands. However, none of that happened against Regis Prograis because he respected his punching power too much. He spent the entire bout boxing off the back foot.

    Which is the reason why Regis couldn't touch him as a result of it.
    Sorry I misread your post
    I thought you were insinuating weight
    That was what I was referring to
    I thought your point was the fact of him having to make the weight
    My bad

      Haney took bad deal to fight Kambosos, beat Loma, went to 140 to take on the toughest available opponent.

      That is what all boxers should be doing, right?
      Was it really for the fans ?
      The Kambo fight credit was given to him for going in his backyard and winning the fights convincingly
      As i posted earlier i misread the post and thought we were talking about his weight issues

        Yes it was. Despite Loma swerving him earlier with the emeritus/franchise bs, he gave fans that fight as soon as he could. You should be crediting him for that.

        Ok. I missed that.

        I am fine if you don’t like Haney. But I can’t see him being discredited when his last 4 fights have been unification, BS rematch not needed but mandated by contract on road, Loma and moving up to fight Prograis.

        Imagine if all the top boxers moved like this?

          And the judges I’m afraid. I actually scored it a draw with Loma ******ly giving away the last round after having his best rounds in the 10th and 11th

              There is an argument for Haney to be top 5. I put Teofimo ahead of him slightly cause I think the Taylor win is more impressive because 1) he beat Regis, 2) he was the undisputed/lineal champ, and 3) is a HUGE 140lber and had a massive size advantage for Teofimo.

                I thought he edged it out but I do agree he gave away the 12th like it was Xmas
                I’m a believer that was the downfall
                I did score the fight for Loma but had it been a draw , I would of been able to digest it more than giving him the L
                Imo , that was criminal lol

                  What? lol Some people on this forum are so dumb. So Devin just wanted to let Loma punch him in the face all night? Lmao!! You can’t be serious …. YDKSAB.

                    No way he makes it to the P4P list. He CLEARLY lost to Loma and got a gift. Then he ducked the rematch and hand picked an aged, flatfooted counter-puncher.

                    Let’s talk about the sport of boxing and what actually IS, not the business of boxing and rewarding fighters for slipping and dipping their way to titles by hook or crook.
