OK, good come back.

I honestly don't believe, however, that Devin either could or should be scared of ANY of those men you named & I honestly think he beats them all. Loma definitely is the biggest risk because they match up in skills but Loma has so much greater experience. IF I was Bill Haney I would let that one 'marinate'. Teofimo looked amazing v Loma & I said beforehand that Loma would clown him so, my bad, but he has looked pretty bad in other fights. I'm still not totally sold on Teo. Tank is bouncing all over the place from 130 to 140 taking in 135 on a whistle stop tour. I like Tank as a boxer but I think he's screwing his career up & it shocks me that TMT are letting him do it. Right now if he fights Haney I think Devin stops him. Finally, there is Ryan. He stands there, head in the air, looking around like he just don't care. I got Devin to stop Ryan also.

You made a v good point about Leonard. All I was saying was, in the last time there was a division with this much talent, you didn't get lots of quick KOs because the best was fighting the best. Leonard w15 Benitez, Duran w15 Leonard, Hearns w15 Benitez, Benitez w15 Duran OK Leonard stops Hearns in 14. When the most scary bad MoFo fights the most scary bad MoFo you get great fights & seldom do you get short fights. That's all I was saying.

Best regards

props to u Bro - u also know the sport. Would agree with u on Haney beating the other top fighters IF he had more punching power to keep the top opponents honest. Just see Teo and Davis(who is being fed cherry-pick after cherry-pick by Floyd/Pbc) methodically walking him down and stopping him in the latter rds. Power is the great equilizer in boxing and it cant be taught. Despite all his boxing skill, it will b his eventual downfall. But heck, just like everyone else - would love to see these young guns and Loma fight each other. The only one u can say is truly ducking the risky fights against the best is Davis...and like u stated - its probably has more to do with Floyd/Pbc not wanting to risk that 0. I dont even include Ryan in the mix at the top bc of his terrible defense like u pointed out, he hardly bends at the waist at all and wide open to be countered.

Looked like it could be the first good fight on DAZN this year until the last 2 rounds. BOOOOO! lol.

Go back to the early 80s, which I think was the last time there was a division as stacked as 135 is.

What

[Dr Rumack]

Time will tell. It likely won't matter much in the long run. But hanging on for dear life for the last 2 rounds is not a good look no matter what anyone says. If he had fought through the crisis then that's different. A bit like Khan when he beat Maidana, people can respect that.

Oh man Akinwande vs Lewis. Yikes. That was brutal. Yeah Haney shoulda had a point deducted for sure. It wouldn’t have changed the outcome but it would have affected his stock a bit and highlight that he might be a bit chinny. He looked like he took a decent punch at first but it was how long it took him to recover if he even did that might open some eyes. I’m scared that Teo is going to price himself out of any potential big match up. He’s in no rush.

That's a good point with Teo, I get that feeling too. Im not sure when were going to get another big fight at lightweight. Davis seems to have skipped the division, Garcia is AWOL and Teo pricing himself out like you say. Slight chance of haney vs Garcia but I'm not confident we see that either.

I'm not hating but the young man got exposed. Plain and simple.

“Devin Haney gets the learning experience he needed.”
How the hell are we writing on and recognizing a “World Champion” that has an article titled as such? I mean cmon boxing orgs!? How TF are we granting a “World Title” to a fighter who’s 26 fights into his career, fought his first top 10 opponent (still question that) and whose greatest challenge came from a 35 yo fighter!?

WTF is wrong with Boxing!!!??

I know, the truth hurts sometimes. 21 posts in? Whose alt account are you?

My brother told me King Ry is dealing with mental health issues? I don’t want to make light, or get cancelled. But we all deal with them. I have no problem with a pro athlete like say Osaka just did with pulling out of the French open if she wants to. But these people make millions and are still raking in endorsements and can afford to do this. They love the adulation when they win, they break down and cry with joy, but if they lose or have to talk to people after they lose they just can’t handle it. It’s still just sports. People lose family members and still have to go to work to pay the bills. Mental health is no joke sure but there’s regular people on the brink it’s ridiculous that rich athletes are the ones that are getting attention over it and are considered brave or progressive for it?! If Nike cares so much then why don’t they lower the price of their sneakers? That would cheer people up. Not to mention the mental abuses they are accused of in their track program. Sorry off topic I know. But I’m just sick and tired of how hard done by all these celebs are. All they do is slap their names on some lousy booze and contribute to the problem.
