Comments Thread For: Oscar De La Hoya: No need for Devin Haney-Ryan Garcia rematch

[steeve steel]

Garcia can make as much money fighting someone else. And if Ryan were to lose the rematch, then the PED's argument would hurt his reputation more than it has already. As for Haney, it's the contrary. This is what Oscar is saying.

Garcia showed up to the Ring magazine event looking trim, and not all red-faced and acting crazy (maybe because alcohol is illegal is Saudi Arabia lol). Really, it’s the first time in ages I’ve seen footage of him in public where he doesn’t look like an absolute gong show, including presser events and weigh ins. Hopefully he’s getting his act together, because I’d love to see what a properly trained, mentally stable, but not roided up Garcia can do.

Theyll eventually meet again at 147 imo. Same result will happen tho

You might be right but if Ryan doesn't get his act together, such as taking his meds to control his bi polar and manic disorder, as well as give up drinking for good or at least while he's still a pro boxer, he might not have many fights left as a marquee name.

A few more racial outbursts on social media combined with a loss against Teo or anybody else and his popularity will take a hit big time. We know he's not disciplined enough to give his all to boxing and he surely doesn't respect the sport as much as it takes to be elite. The guy's talent will only take him so far, in my opinion..

Great points.

This writer is a Haney lover. You can tell by the tone. So, let's cover a few things. 1. Haney accepted the fight knowing Ryan was overweight. He thought he was going to run over him. 2. If they were using VADA, and testing throughout. How did Ostarine didn't appear in the samples? 3. Victor Conte, and VADA have a connection. Look at who tested the samples. 4. Let's take some from number 2. How can he come up positive the night of the fight when previous samples tested negative? The drug doesn't metabolize that fast. You are only believing what people tell you and the testing hype which is totally subjective. Remember, they said they found 'traces.' Here is a good write-up on Ostarine. https://www.pumpingironstore.com/how...-take-to-work/. If they were to fight again, they would have the same result and Haney would cry about something else. That's just what he does.

haney is prob also using the lawsuit to put pressure on ryan to make the rematch u drop the lawsuit i will make the rematch is what might happen whih is fair enough if someone is on peds and overweight the loses deserves a shot at a fair fight is what imk thinking makes sense to me anyway

Garcia doesn't need Devin to make money. Devin needs Garcia to make money, though. It's interesting that Haney wants no parts of any of the other killers at 140. That's why he dropped his green belt rather than fight Sandor Martin.

Nobody made Haney sign to agree to fight him coming in overweight.
The amount of Ostarine has been shown to be so small as to have no performance effect..however it is a banned substance..
Lastly Haney avoids other difficult fights now and appears to be mind bugged by this whole fight history

This is about punishing Haney financially. A rematch with Ryan is his most lucrative option. DLH is making him pay for being a crybaby and suing them. Now Haney has to go back to fighting stiffs and unknowns for marginal purses. No 8-digit paychecks, no legacy fights.
