Devin Haney REACTS To Rehydration Drama: I Didn't Throw My Weight Around Or Bully Him, I Beat Him Off SKILL

[uppercut510]

Haney is getting a lot of irrational hate.

He is about to organically become the next Floyd type villain that Floyd/Al have tried to carve out for Tank.

Just do not understand it.

ud think boxing fans would appreciate him seeing as tho hes literally walking the walk

He only offered Shakur 25%. Shakur said that would amount to less than what he got paid in his previous fight.

He should have rematched Loma at 135. That was arguably a fight that he loss. If you want to compare yourself to Floyd Mayweather then you have to run close fights back. That's probably another reason why people are hating on Haney. His actions aren't matching his words.

Yeah. He lowballed him to see if he could get the bulk of the dough. I don’t think right now the fight maximizes its potential revenue.

Bob is at fault for that imo, requiring that ridiculous rematch with Kambosos instead of 2 fights with Loma.

Yeah, alot of posters said same about running it back. I get that but not if it requires you to starve yourself.

Maybe. But Haney had been getting irrational hate for a while.

Mayweather was the opposite of Haney though. Reverse weight bully. Dude used to come 15lbs lighter than his opponents in the ring. The Mayweather hate was because he was a highly successful, sh/t talking black man. He never won a title by some email or automatic crap. He beat champions for his titles, and he did it while being smaller. Also rematched his tough opponents.

The Haney hate is very warranted. Email champ, weight bully, gift decision to Lomachenko that he won’t rematch, fighting 35 year olds and weak title holders. Outweighing his opponents by 15-20lbs and can’t KO them. He dwarfed Lomachenko and still got his ass kicked. If Mayweather had 15lbs on an opponent, it will for sure end in KO.

For him to be labeled pillow hands nobody is just running up on him, i think at 140 he has decent power, enough to make his opponents think and not be wreckless, thats all he needs

Solid post. People can’t seem to realize Haney might gain power when he doesn’t have to starve himself to make 135.

Just hope he doesn’t all the sudden get concussive ko power out of nowhere.

It's probably because his old man is ranting and raving about how Devin's the best fighter on the planet and clowning Floyd's career, after he beat Regis. It may not seem fair, but this is what happens when one toots one's horn too loud, too soon.

I think he may be suggesting that a sudden gain in KO power from a currently >50% KO ratio fighter, would be su****ious.

hes been doing that for years lol

That's not a realistic offer. 60/40 would have been fair just because Haney had the belts. But what makes Haney think he can offer someone a 25% split. Bro, you're not bringing that any money to the table. Haney is still largely a nobody so a 25% split is basically a **** you offer. That's the kind of offer you make when you're not serious about the fight, but want to save face.

I'm not a Haney fan but Shakur effed up that one. Haney himself took Kambosos with a 25 split when he had one belt and Kambosos had three so that he could go undisputed, so why would he have to offer Shakur more when he is beltless and not that big of a draw himself either? It isn't like he was Tank and brought huge money on the table by himself but had zero interest in fighting Haney or wanted to become undisputed to begin with. The fact that Shakur, while beltless allegedly offered Frank Martin a 25 split further adds on to the pettiness.

The end result is that Haney moved up and got another belt while Shakur had to linger around waiting for an opponent and finally ended up fighting for just one of Haney's belt for likely less money. Now after that boring match Shakur will have even less allure to get big money matches in the future. If Shakur thought he could win against Haney (which I thought he will) and was smart enough to look at the long term picture back then, Shakur would be an undisputed lightweight right now and have every right to offer 25 to any contender not named Tank (who obviously has no interest in fighting a live body) and made so much more money while having the legacy of being three division champ currently undisputed.

Why do you hope that?
