Comments Thread For: Devin Haney's legal action against Ryan Garcia driven by 'destroyed image'

[Roj]

Teo Sr. would know about how to destroy an image given his role in helping Teo Jr. wiz away his image since the early ESPN days when he was knocking out people and looking like a potential mainstream star.

Meanwhile, it’s hilarious how all of the Ryan groupies are hysterically vilifying Haney for doing exactly what he should do by suing Garcia. They would be better off starting a GoFundMe page for Ryan’s legal fund.. The guy’s got big issues: no money coming in because of his suspension while a lot is going out (personal stuff, legal issues, etc). Garcia can troll and joke all he wants, but let’s see how much he trolls and jokes when he's in deposition and in court for the Haney lawsuit.

It's really hilarious how Haney fans are ignoring all facts and evidence concerning what happened and crying along with Haney.

Garcia is personally hugely wealthy from social media. Which is one reason Haney is trying to get more money. He believes Garcia will settle. I hope Garcia goes to court and gives constant whiny pillow fists Huggy Haney ZERO. And countersues him for using IVs.

Also I dont give a damn about Garcia. He is more fun to watch than Haney for sure. But he is an arrogant little jerk who says silly stuff. Haney could have whipped him in the rematch and justice would have been served. But Haney can't. That is why you see him self imploding.

Haney is constantly whining, he got a gift when Loma clearly beat him, he gets the young fighter card constantly. He's been using IV's for years, he bullies guys using illegal weight tricks and still gets hurt whenever he gets touched. Just awful. Then runs around saying he is the best in the game.

Dude just needs to retire, no one wants to watch him fight. It's embarrassing.

Who wants to fight an unpopular prick like Teo? Teo, Sr really needs to lay the crack pipe down. He is prostituting himself by coming off as very desperate and thirsty. He is soliciting popular black fighters who could draw a crowd and some money among casual fans to fight his son.

Garcia is a wealthy kid. It's a money grab.

[TheOneAboveAll]

Well it's certainly true his image is absolutely wrecked. Nobody is going to forget that swollen face falling all around the ring and his reaction and whining to this day after the fight. Dude is an absolute diva and sets a new standard for it. Just wait for his next fight when they introduce him as undefeated and listen to that crowd laugh their asses off.

The loss was devasting, but it was just a loss. The best fighters in history have lost. Devin Haney' career was ruined by his own actions. He is the least likeable fighter in the entire sport and he seems intent on losing any fans he has left.

Teofimo Sr is partially correct. Despite Ryan Garcia cheating, Garcia exposed quite a few of Haney's weaknesses. It's hard to recover from exposure like this (Haney's ability to generate revenue has taken a hit). Fighters should be salivating at a chance to face Haney and leapfrog him in the welterweight standings. Haney has to do quite a bit of image rebuilding.

Teofimo Lopez could use a booster himself. He lost against Kambosos, beat an overrated Taylor, and just got by Ortiz.

Haney and Lopez Jr should get in the ring and settle who's stock deserves to rise...and who's stock deserves to fall.

I don’t dispute that. To be fair, that destroyed image came at the hands of a fighter who was clearly using performance enhancing banned substances so this lawsuit is not without merit. I for one favour state aggravated assault charges for those who use PEDs while engaged in combat sports as well. Garcia has gotten off very light. Ban these fighters for life, sit them, and charge them criminally when this happens in any of the 50 American states or territories and you’ll see this stop.

Exactly. Yes Devin's image has taken a hit with the loss. But what about Ryan's image. (1) drugs and liquor instead of training for the fight (2) purposely being unprofessional and missing weight (3) 'paling' around with 4Chan *********s (4) espousing extremely racists views towards blacks, ******s and others, getting arrested for B&E his baby mommy's home (5) neglecting to care for his child (6) committing felony property destruction in a historic hotel ... I mean what else do people need to see to question his image? You're right Oldskool this guy has gotten off completely light and to make it worse he's going around laughing and bragging about it. I guess this is what they call the "machismo culture". Seems pretty lame to me!

Ryan is a cheater and whether you like Haney or not, Ryan is not good for the sport.

[elfag]

gift win over loma when he outweighed him by 20 pounds and KTFO by cryin ryan, yeah a lawsuit will really repair his public image. Get back in the ring and beat someone legitimately you giant *****.

big head feather fisted haney wont be able to make 140 much longer and he is screwed at 147 where he cant just hug and weight bully everyone.

He didn’t exposed nothing about Haney that we have not known. Haney is not a power puncher. Ryan exposed himself as needing peds to beat a feather fisted Haney.
