Comments Thread For: Devin Haney in discussions with Turki Alalshikh about Riyadh Season bout

[lilacp]

haney proved how much a warrior he is by beating up some innocent man at his job with 5 other of his thug buddies. yes, devin haney is the guy to get up on a soap box about, railing against boxing fans who can see this fraudulence. look at that clown run

Uhm, tons of boxers behave in ugly ways, what's your point? The dude has some issues evidently, but I am not defending Haney as a human being; I only said he has proven to be a warrior where it matters the most to me as a fan of the sport, which is inside the ring. I have never rooted for him, but I give him that. Y'all haters will be seeing more of Haney, so get ready lol.

Lmao
Rehydrating 25 pounds in one night seems to be cheating to me
Care to explain that one

The rehydration stuff is a big issue, of course. He's been doing it for a while, which is why I do not root for him (I def was sad when Prograis lost, in fact).

Seńor Mula, I am not saying I want to necessarily see Haney succeed in the sport, but the reality is he'll be back and will be making a bunch of money, and most of the people here, including the haters, will see him fight. I don't hate because it's a waste of time, tbh, but if it serves you, embrace it, Seńor.

Beyond that, I have loved fighters who def cheated, in both small and big ways, we all probably have here.

It ain’t got anything to do with hate but can’t stand the fact that people are swift to shoot one guy but not the other when bullchit is brewing
Haney has been a cheater his whole career and imagin that , no one sued him

That's a fair point, I don't really agree with the lawsuit, but the fact he may have cheated against someone doesn't make the fact that Garcia cheated ok. Anyhow, having read a lot of your posts here, we probably agree more than disagree about the topic, I just come at things a bit differently.

All good
My sole argument is , it wasn't ostarine that kept nailing him with the left hook

Ultimately, if Haney does return to fight some live bodies, I'll be alright with that. Hopefully those live bodies will beat him, and then we don't have to talk much about him. But then we'll have López to talk about lol.

I agree, I won't defend his behavior out of the ring, although it isn't too bad, but in the ring Devin's shown to be a warrior. Some might call him a weight bully, but he is abiding by the rules and he's shown he has the courage to get back up while practically out on his feet.

How he handles guys his size or bigger remains to be seen, but I think he'll manage to surprise many. As long as he tightens up his defense and can stay focused on a game plan he will do alright in my opinion.

I'd like to see him against Teo soon.

Not really if he keeps up his shenanigans
Refusing fights but then saying they’re avoiding him
Sounds like Boots

I noticed something interesting. 90% of posters do not seem to like Devin Haney and consider him a boring weight bully. Most people say they do not want to watch his fights and pay for his fights - yet the articles about him draw some of the most interesting, intense and long discussions / battles here on the forum.

By the way, I am one of those people who do not like watching his fights but cannot resist making a comment about him.
