Comments Thread For: Devin Haney's Claims at Two Weights Makes Him 2023's Best

Just posting the facts. Did I hit a nerve? You seem mad.

Nobody is mad, laughing at how childish and defensive you're being.

Crawford, Inoue, and Benavidez would be three split on who deserve FOTY. Haney is a slight runner up but I think some writers will try to make the case for Haney in order to help make him a star.

You got triggered and let me get under your skin, if not why even bother? I clearly upset you and you are in shambles.

OK, but he got the W from the judges. He's still in the top 3 for fighter of the year regardless

Yeah but what IF judges are crooked of favour the national fighter in this case, Haney...

There was no Robbery but Haney didn't seperate himself from Loma.

Nobody thought after that fight that Haney was better.

If you are the fighter of the year, you should be able to be dominant over a semi active late 30s smaller fighter...

Crawford, Inoue, and Haney all deserve respect for a GREAT year. My knock is Crawford only fought once. Missed opportunity there....

But that was the best win of the year right? 2 top 5 pfp and i didn’t know how it would go. Dude took it up a notch and yeah, it was only 1 fight. I just think inoue shows his skill is so much higher compared to Haney but maybe that’s a bias of mine

Same reason why he got the decision vs Loma...

While I agree that he didn't show he was much better than Loma, I think that speaks to the talent of Loma as well. He's an elite fighter himself. I don't think Haney should win it anyway, I have Inoue as fighter of the year. Moving up to a new weight class and stopping 2 unified champs trumps what Crawford did as he only fought once this year. Haney and Benavidez would be 2 and 3 for me.

No offence but outside Inoue fans, nobody rates Tapales. Fought once in the last 16 months and arguably lost that fight then fought a guy 23-18 before that.
Inoue is a great fighter but outside Fulton his body of wins compared to other Pound For Pounders are beyond average.

Was Tapales champ or not? That's what matters. Beat the chap to become the champ. That's how it works. That takes all the reasonable criticism out of it. But people still want to criticize.
