    Whatever he's doing, it's not boxing.
    I remember when Sugar Ray Leonard moved/danced from side to side to keep Roberto Duran from hitting him in their rematch. But Ray Leonard made it an art form. Plus, he mixed it up with Duran.

    Haney just plain out ran. And fought a zombie in Ramirez.

    Ramirez is done and had no business in the ring. If you looked in his eyes during the weigh-in and heard him speak, you can see that he is clearly an old shell of himself. He looks punch drunk and worse.

    Ramirez should not have been an opponent for Haney. Yet, Haney looked terrible. What's going to happen if Haney gets in the ring with a boxer who is alive/awake?

      Leonard was an artist in the ring. Like you say there's a huge difference in what the masters do and what Haney does.

      The only time I'll ever watch Haney again, is if he fights someone who's skilled and aggressive enough to go against that annoying style.

      But to be honest, I don't think many fighters or promoters will want to fight that guy anymore. That's not what I consider boxing.

Boxers need to be hungry from fight to fight and that's the only way it works!
        I agree. Boxing is driven by hunger. Millionair boxers have the same issue as born millionairs. I got mine, why risk getting hurt?

          So what you’re saying is that a convicted murderer (Don King) who steals from his fighters, bribes judges and refs, and Bob Arum the grifter who steals from his fighters, bribes judges and referees are the ones that know shyte about boxing.
          Corrupt American promoters that don’t pay their fighters are better than a guy that’s actually paying fighters good money are better.

          As for the your asinine statement that “Boxers need to be hungry from fight to fight and that's the only way it works”, what you're really saying is that boxers should risk their lives for peanuts while their non-idiot promoters laugh all the way to the bank.

          Dude, how are you surprised or upset that all these American boxers are all running to Turki?
          Turki is giving us the fights we want and is paying guys what they should get paid.

                Rolly is far to dangerous for Haney. That hook he landed on Garcia would turn his lights out.

                  Haney wouldn’t get away with his in ring cardio program against Rolly. Ramirez is slow as ****. Rolly has great footwork and cuts off the ring very well. If this fight happens I have Romero winning a UD or late stoppage

                    It’s called a sport. Legal in every sense.
