    this dude. Someone tell bill context matters, I know this generation doesn’t like all the facts but for all except one of his fights he was supposed to win. The only fight on Haneys resume worth any respect is the win over Loma. I’ll give them this, they caught good timing on making their matches so they involve belts on fighters that don’t have the physical attributes to fight Haney. They can thank that 72” reach for their success. But for the record, pretty boy would’ve sparked this kid had they met at 135.

      Mayweather was too keen to save his O. Most of his fights were against ageing champions.

        If Floyd had even a slightly disputed bout, he rematched to put any doubt to rest. Lomachenko is waiting and will be forever, I assume.

        Stop trying to come up off of Floyd's legacy.

            I don't how any reasonable person that watched Mayweather at 135 can think Haney is even close to Floyd. The skill gap is massive.

            Haney beating weak ass Kambosos for the titles really inflated his ego.

                OK, so we'll never see Tank vs. Devin! Thanks Bill Haney! That was real smart!

                  I am a fan of both fighters but let's be real, Floyd's better than Haney in all aspects of the game at this age. Belts don't tell the whole story IMO.

                    In a head to head fight, I'd be betting on Floyd.
