Comments Thread For: Devin Haney on Teofimo Beating Mendard: 'I Softened Him Up'

[Bronx2245]

Nane the guy Broner beat for his first title? Name the guy gervonta Davis beat for his title. Name the guy Lomachenko beat for his title.

Then once you figure that out, tell me where those bums they beat are at now?

Era kid, ERA. This is a weak era where getting titles hold no weight.

Broner won his first title @ 22, beating Rodriguez who was 34-2-1. Davis won his first title @ 22, beating Pedraza who was 22-0. Pedraza just fought Lomachenko in a 135 title fight! Lomachenko won his first title @ 26, beating Gary Russell Jr. who was 24-0. GRJ is STILL the WBC Featherweight Champion, and hasn't lost since!

I don't think your question helped your argument at all, and you still didn't answer my request! I'll repeat: name 5 fighters that won a WBC. WBA, IBF, or WBO title before their 22nd birthday. I'll Wait!!! If it's so easy, in this era, you should easily be able to name 5? OK, name 3! I'll make it easier for you!

Rodriquez? Pedraza, Russell? All those dudes are scrubs? Do you seriously know who Rodriquez is?

Pedraza? Who has he beaten that was worth anything?

Russell? Because he has kind of a little PBC fame makes him legit. Dude lost to Lomanckeno in a white wash and besides that who has he beaten that was worth anything? A many years past his prime Jhonny gonzalez.

Broner, Davis, Lomachenko are hype jobs who benefited from being in a watered down very weak era. Fact

Haney will get the same treatment they get because thats the way this era goes.

You know why there has only been a very few pre-21 year old champs in history, because the other era's had real true talent and it was extremely hard for a young guy to do that.

If Haney becomes a title holder pre-21 that dont mean much in the grand scheme of boxing history.

Fact is boxing nowaday isnt what it used to be and the talent level isnt there as it was in years past and thats fact. So that in turn makes it more common and more easier now for a fighter to win titles at younger ages compared to past eras. Fact

If it was more common and more easier now, you would be able to name 3 fighters who have done it! However, you can't, because it's not that common, and not that easy to do! I'm 50+, but I don't live in the past! I'm a Tyson fan, but I remember the "bum of the month" run, but I still didn't diminish his accomplishments! How many people remember Alexis Arguello's first 39 opponents? We don't diminish his accomplishments! What about Roberto Duran's first 50 opponents? Don't act like everyone in the old era were fighting top notch opponents every night! Appreciate what you're seeing now, or just YouTube old classics. It's your choice!
