Tank was too young, but Haney is not?

That has no bearing on the fact he'd fought at 130 most the vast majority of his career before he fought Tank who walked over him like he wasn't world level. No matter how you want to downplay the match, it's probably the best win a 22 year old scored this decade.

    Haney has never even fought a live body. His amateur career wasn't very extensive either. He dropped 2/4 fights to Ryan Garcia while he was like a sop****re in high school and Garcia hasn't looked great himself. Brought along correctly, he certainly has the potential to be something great.

    As for throwing him in with Loma right now? Not a chance lol. Not a chance in hell. The odds would reflect that. And you yourself, despite what you say to me, know that.
    Didn't I say that Pedraza was Tank's best win? I'm also saying Pedraza had trouble making that weight, so he immediately moved up.

    Watching both fighters, anyone can see that Haney is the more polished between him and Tank. But Tank fans give Gervonta a pass claiming he is too young at 21 to fight Loma, but those same Tank fans have been posting on the forum claiming Haney isn't too young because deep down they know that Haney would have a better chance at winning. Tank has little to no chance.

      Um, why would you make a thread about Haney and include Tank? So are you saying you made this thread just to bash Tank? Why would you bring up Haney's age if HE is pushing for the fight unlike Tank? LOL at talking about double standards between Haney and Tank like you are offended Haney and his fans are calling for the fight.

      So tell me how much I hate Lomachenko?

        Man you are dense. I made this thread asking the Tank fans why they felt he was too young to fight Loma at 21, but those same fans think Haney is not too young at 20...of course they won't respond with a straight answer, deep down they know Tank won't beat Loma, not at 22 and not within the near future. They see something in Haney that they don't see in Tank.

          So no, Haney or Tank fighting the best fighter across like 3 weight classes who is 31 before they're 25 isn't the same thing.



          Did he use it as an excuse for getting walked down and blown out by a 5'4 midget?

          You clearly don't think Haney or Gervonta would give Loma trouble. I don't either. So why do you want to see the fight?
          So delusional...😂😂😂

          Who’s Haney beat that’s even comparable to Valdez or Ramirez?

          GTFOH...

I mean once he gets rolling, you have to be mentally tough enough to overcome his onslaughts but no single punch is going to really ruin you. I believe and have believed that Tank gives Lomachenko a nice fight even if he loses. Wish his team was more confident as he won't get embarrassed and it only helps him in the long run.
            Loma beats both convincingly IMO. But the fights are still interesting and there’s no harm in wanting to test yourself against the best.

              Lomachenko very well may be able to beat both convincingly. Or he may struggle and the fight is competitive. I rather both give it a shot rather than just give Lomachenko the hypothetical win. And if one, or both of them lose, so what? No one will look at them any different as they just lost to arguably the best fighter in the world.

                Haney very well may be the better fighter of the two, time will tell.

                All I know is Haney is doing something that Tank didn't do, and got killed for not doing. Hopefully he gets his shot at Lomachenko soon.

                  Well Haney wants it, Tank really wasn't calling for it so I don't even see how this is comparable honestly

                    You're right.

                    Tank doesn't want it and his Mayweather promotions definitely doesn't want it. They won't risk him, he's too young- bull**** bull**** bull****.

                    Haney wants the fight.

                    I believe Tank probably punches a bit harder and may be stronger physically- he's built like a tank. Haney is the better boxer and technician. IMO Haney is a better fighter than Tank.
