Comments Thread For: Devin Haney Deserves to Have Ryan Garcia Bout Viewed Through His Lens
There's a double-sided truth to what happened in the Ryan Garcia-Devin Haney fight two months ago, and as both sides now move on, one sentiment remains: We cannot unsee what we saw.

Haney vs Garcia is a modern day version of Julio Cesar Chavez vs Meldrick Taylor I. In the sense that the punishment Haney took in this fight ruined him just like the beating Taylor took against Chavez ruined Taylor.
These pro-box guys denouncing PED’s is kinda hilarious. They have Roy, Tarver and several other guys who probably took PED’s on their payroll.
Garcia shouldn’t be awarded the W, the NC is fair but we saw what we saw and Haney got exposed.
What we saw was Haney lose to a fighter who failed to make the weight and who was on PEDS. Can’t really say he was exposed, due to those circumstances.
Ryan/haney should have a rematch with heavy scrutiny on any peds and a have more stricter weigh-in, so there is zero room for excuse when someone loses. That's the only way to settle this bad blood.

If we are going to look at it through his lens then we should look at it from the beginning when they saw a fight with KingRy as easy money...they saw an opponent who had weight issues in the past, appeared to lose focus on boxing, had mental issues and was made to quit by Tank. They thought the fight would be easy money and an easy W.
When Garcia came in over, they just squeezed a little more money out of him because they saw it as further evidence that their opponent was unprepared.
Garcia popped positive and deserves whatever punishment meted out to him by the commission. The fight should be a No Contest. Haney, as a lifelong "A-side", has enjoyed all the advantages against his opponents throughout his career. He has Conte cooking up performance enhancement while tiptoeing the lines of legality.
Boxing is a vicious dirty sport and I don't condone Garcia's behavior but I have difficulty seeing Haney as pure victim when I look through his lens.
