Comments Thread For: Bernard Hopkins Believes Gervonta Davis Is Better Than Devin Haney: "He Beat The Better Opposition"

[MMegatron]

Rolly and Cryan are better than Loma and Prograis? LOL

Even Kambosos beat Teo.

Tank won't lay a glove on Haney and Hopkins knows it.

what a bizarre thing to say from bhop, i dont know how tank has done it but hes managed to hook wink a massive bunch of groupies, hes literally turned boxing on its head, what a blue print from floyd, amazing really

You alright with Haney rehydrating to 168 ?
Ffs , he looked huge against Regis imagine him against Tank
There is reason why the first thing Haney insisted on is no rehydration clause
Not that it’s ok to have a clause in the first place
Hey maybe they deserve each other

As long as he makes the contracted weight I’m fine with it I tbh. I believe there’s pros and cons to draining your body like Haney, Benavidez etc do.

I’d still pick Tank regardless too, I’ve always sort of felt that fight is like poodle fighting a pit bull.

Wouldn’t completely rule Haney out but I make Tank a heavy favourite.

I get what your saying but not sure this is right
Opens up a Pandora’s box

I think it’s something they need to address myself, I’d shorten the time between weigh in and fight.

Exactly
Something has got to be done

Hopkins has to make the win over Ryan look more impressive than it really was, so of course he's going to say Tank had the better win.

bhop is giving out about drama queens (cryin) in the sport & now hes saying tank has beaten better guys so hes praising cryin by doing this lol

cryin has never even won a belt, but then again tank has barely done the same, they got boxing backwards

but then again they are the richest guys in the sport or certainly around their weight class so maybe they do know whats what idk

I don’t agree with rehydration clause but then again I find it crazy that Haney rehydrates overnight to almost super middleweight

this is what is wrong with next day weigh-ins. They were introduced so that there'd be a longer window between the dehydration pre-weigh-in and punches landing on a less-protected brain during the fight. But how is it safe for a 150'b/155lb fighter in the ring (Prograis) to be fighting a SMW (haney)?

And it really blows a hole through the whole point of weight classes. Some fighters like Haney have an amazing ability to cut weight and then re-hydrate healthily. A large part of their competitive advantage lies in the unfair advantage they have on fight night because they can cut weight far more effectively than their opponents.

The best thing would be for all fights to have a re-hydration weigh-in the afternoon of the fight at say +10% of weight class limit - then you have a more even playing field and a safer fight too.

Nobody give a dammmmmm about what Bhop thinks, we need to see serious fights in 24 the best most talented division and no ones fighting each other, weak asS champions!
