Awkward stance, often of balance almost no guard and vulnerable to right hooks. Doesn't like fighters who bring it to him, uses his feet to avoid punches and often brings his feet to close together and is poor at taking body punches. Grapples if the other fighter gets in his face and has been known to throw his opponent to the floor. Doesn't like to travel far from home. Gets away with quite a few fowls especially at home constantly looks to the ref if he thinks he has been wronged. And has been very lucky with his fights.

He's good.

Quit hating.

A lot of specialty picked opponents and a lot of luck sometimes he digs deep and deserves his win, not hate just fact.

He beat Hall clearly. Was Hall a speciality picked opponent?

Very easy win for Lee though. Good comeback opponent for Hall after Butlers finished with him.

One the best fights I have seen

Having won English, British, Commonwealth and European titles it must be a right pi$$er to see Hall, Ward and Mcdonnell (who he has already beaten) get shots at the World title and he hasn't.

Anything else that is wrong with him ? Don't seem like he is worth writing about on that ? Considering he has beat nearly all the best fighters over here and unlucky not to be fighting for a world title, because no one wants to fight him, don't know why based on your description of him, would have thought they would have jumped at the chance ? He has beat guys who have won world titles, not bad for someone who according to you has so many faults ?Another stupid post.

He`s a nice guy too,very honest and straightforward and readily admits that some of his previous fights were dreadful to watch.Thankfully he`s making up for it with more aggression nowadays,he`ll always be unorthadox but he commits a lot more too.

Very interested in how he does against Perales.

Apologies, the fight against stuart is in the past as for haskins he has got under my s in by the way he keeps Slagging stuart off. I watched him fight recently and looked at some of his past flights, so my comments came from that.

Nick885 just out of interest where are you ranked currently ?

I commented from a traditional fighters view, yes he has beat nearly all the best fighters but nobody seems to mention that those guys who won world titles both beat a fighter who beat him.

I haven't seen him slagging him off, all he's said is that he wants a rematch for the world title and that he would beat him again, like he did the first time.

Calling him a fake champion and regularly saying he should not even be a domestic champ is that not slagging him off.

He was very lucky to get the shot, credit to him he took it with both hands and dug deep against Malinga to win it, but in all honesty it's hard to argue he's world class after twice falling short at European level in the past. Haskins is trying to get himself a world title fight, he's trying to work his way up the rankings with this eliminator against Perales, but if he can get a shot quicker by talking the fight up, I don't blame him for it, he's seen McDonnell and Hall get world title shots when he's beaten both previously and Ward and Butler have both been given the opportunity ahead of him when he's more deserving than either of them.
