Oscar is a good dude. People give him a hard time but they're so quick to forget this man won 11 world titles across 6 different weight divisions PLUS a gold medal in the 1992 Olympics. Not to mention the exciting fight nights he provided for us fans. Put some respect on his name. I hate hearing people talk about about a blip in his life where he did a little too much cocaine!!! That's minuscule to his achievements and now look at the fights he is making happen for us now!

[@genielove9067]

Most people give him a hard time not knowing how insanely dangerous it is to amass that much fame and fortune so quick at a young age. He made mistakes and got caught up in that world which lead to a terrible coke and alcohol problem but he’s been open about everything and changed for the better.

Don’t speak too soon. Keep in mind that Haney could not stop or hurt an older small Loma, and he could not stop Regis flatfoot prograis. He couldn’t even stop Kambosos, a guy more than half his size 🤦‍♂️ Haney will most likely win off points as usual, but he still has so make it through 12 rounds without getting clipped by Ryan, someone who can 100% hurt him. Yeah Regis could hurt Haney, but Regis didn’t start boxing till he was 17 years old and has no idea how to move properly against someone like Haney. Ryan has fought Haney 6 times already in the amateurs and has been boxing since he was little like Haney. Ryan can definitely win if he stays fully focused and disciplined. Plus Ryan does not have a rehydration clause. He will be Haneys toughest test besides Loma. We all saw Loma snap Haney’s head back all night with the left hand. Ryan’s left hand is 3 times more powerful than loma’s so we will see what happens.
