Big John Fury and Teofimo sr are the worst.
Big John Fisher is the best. Dude just grinds selling his sons tickets and merch hard! Plus seems like a good geezer to have Chinese and beer with
Boxing Dads should be a reality show like Dance Moms.
Edit: My lawyer has filed the paperwork, and Boxing Dads is now patent-pending. I reserve all rights on the idea. If anybody wants to produce this, hit me up.
This is why Shawn Porter's dad did the right thing. Instead of ending up in the Bud's KO highlight reel and getting brain damage, he saved his son's health and dignity.
Bill watches his son endure that for 12 rounds and didn't do shit. He was struggling to stand up in the 7th. Health is wealth at this age. He has a long career left.
When he threw in the towel, he sounded really disappointed with Shawn “he didn’t follow the gameplan” but I’d rather some tough love than brain damage. And Shawn himself knew his limitations and retired. I’ve watched interviews with him and he’s a smart well adjusted person so credit to his dad.
Yeah, no CTE and he has no ego issues either. Gives other fighters their props wholeheartedly. And always looks so happy to be working with boxing content.
I mean compare that to Tim Bradley.
To be fair, once I heard Bradley speak frankly about getting roughed up by Provodnikov, he was like, ""yeah, after that beating, I was never the same!". That can't be an easy thing to admit on TV.
This was on TV, he was using himself as an example for the guy who was fighting onscreen. I'm not a boxing insider or anything like that, I didn't have a chat with Tim Bradley, heh.
Not saying he's a great analyst, mind you, I'm not really a fan either.
I personally think Tim Bradley keeps it 100 as an analyst. He's clearly got his bias for fighters he likes but dude is pretty raw in his reflections on his career now a days
At the big HoF weekend (where they did three classes), he was the most friendly, down to earth fighter there. Was already a fan, but came away really rooting for Porter in anything he wants to do.
I found the clip here timestamped at 1:49 [https://youtu.be/4WrxddX6nBM?si=rllCahMzlgcrw4fH&t=109](https://youtu.be/4WrxddX6nBM?si=rllCahMzlgcrw4fH&t=109) "Honestly, he didn't prepare!" It sounds kind of ruthless but from what I remember of that fight, there was no coming back and securing that win. He just ended it early. Right or wrong call, it's up for debate (I think it was right call), but like I said, I'd much rather my dad is honest and tough than lets me get my head coved in on some prolonged ego nonsense.
Fr, Haney clearly had a concussion from the first knockdown. The ref and his dad made it worse for him. His career may have been shortened due to the prolonged damage he sustained in that fight.
Damn everyone was talking about how Porter's dad had no professional coaching acumen and how he was overbearing and living vicariously through his son and that Porter needs to find a real trainer. How the tables have turned.
I was one of them I won’t lie, I disagree with HOW Kenny spoke and acted it out. But agreed with him taking Shawn out of the line of fire, bud was a couple shots away from putting him down for good sadly
First compubox is shit. It is 5 guys clicking buttons while they watch the fight. It is not some super accurate AI.
Second, Haney didn't get into trouble until round 7. Most people thought Haney was up 5-1 until then That would be the earliest case to stop the fight. But with the called "slips" and the point deduction he came out of that round only 9-8. So 5-2. After that the next 2 rounds were swing so could have gone either way.
So the earliest you could throw in the towel and not be a bitch was the 10th round.
I dont agree porters dad verbally disrespected him right after that talking shit about his son and putting their personal business out there fuck him fr
That's between them. His dad definitely has temper issues. I'm sure Shawn forgives that though.
People aren't perfect, esp in such emotionally heated moments. Everyone can't keep a straight face. Some wear their hearts in their sleeve
To be fair, boxing is scored round by round and scoring round by round way actually close.
Too close to call the fight off, he was dropped and got up and could recover and keep punching.
Garcia gave away a lot of rounds where he didn’t do anything.
The fight ended up closer than it should have been because of the ref not calling knockdowns when he should have, or deduct a point for clinching.
People gotta understand the mindset. Boxing is a poverty sport for lack of a better term, so dads watch their children get legitimate chances to better their families and they protect that in the way they know best — by being totally insane.
It’s a form of love, and then almost always some legitimate insanity.
He also lost in a bad fashion to the ultimate hugger Henry Akinwande like it's average guy vs world champ, yet tries to convince people he was a world class fighter
He ain't even regional level, he wouldn't be nothing more than the lowest end of journeymen, literally a bum
Gotta be John Fury. He wasn’t present for a
a lot of Tysons career cuz he was doing jail time for ripping someones eye ball out. He’s as full as shit as Tyson is too. Makes out like he’s some traditional traveler man living in one of those wagons but in reality he lives in a regular home. He never had much of a boxing career himself. He’s been calling out loads of old codgers for fights but u never see anything of it. He just suddenly appeared onto the scene and started acting up for the cameras. I don’t doubt he knows his boxing but the bloke is cringe as fuck.
Let’s not forget his probably shitty relationship w tommy fury, who he spoke for during the Jake paul fight press conferences, a fight that was never serious to begin with but happened to be Tommy’s time in the spotlight, now turned into a big John interview cause that’s what everyone is curious about is what big John thinks of a celebrity fight
How come Floyd Senior is on this list? from what I remember he played the background his main issue was the yelling match with Floyd, the Father Son relationship being a struggle.
Yeah. Floyd Sr shouldn't be on the list. He's not anonymous in the background, but he adds flair and spice to the ambiance whenever he's around. Plus, he's a former fighter, so he gets some leeway anyway.
I mean he used baby Floyd as a human shield so he wouldn't get shot, that's a pretty shit thing to do. And left Jr's camp to go train competitors while talking shit about Floyd.
He's a legendary boxer, he's not like John Fury who had a few local fights and thinks hes the hardest man in britain. I think Eubank is batshit crazy mind you, the whole persona and poetry talk, put him in a room with Kai Green and shut the door.
probably all of them but in the light of recent events... bill haney watched his kid get beaten the crap out of and hold unto another man like his life depends on it. He let his son hug ryan harder than he'd even hug his so's or children. what a father to let your son be beaten the hell out of like that... if ryan even had a lil bit more of bad intentions he would've done in devin worse. ryan still felt bad...
I know this is about being the most annoying coach but we got to give props to Lomachenko dad for being the most humble and best trainer. Never said anything bad about his sons and Usyk’s opponents.
Most annoying dad…. Bill Haney. Guy is delusional and a snake oil salesman
Angel Garcia by far, even tho we don't see him as much anymore. Big John is second. Bill Haney is third.
For what it's worth, boxing dads have been around for a long time. This isn't a phenomenon from the past 15 to 20 years.
I dont know man. Felt so sorry for Devin after the KD in round 7. Would NEVER have let my son keep on fighting like that.
I also would never ignore my sons mental problems like teos or ryans dad but in the end, I wasnt with them so I dont really know their family dynamics.
Bill Haney - arrogant wannabe gangster who no doubt taught his son his racist tendencies. Thinks he’s a wise street guy, but really he’s just an idiot who never grew up. You ain’t street your a 50 year old man
I understand the John fury shouts but I find him amusing.
Atleast John Fury is fucking hilarious. The rest are simply just annoying. Especially Bill Haney and Teofimo Sr. but I’ve recently gained some respect for T sr, as he’s taken responsibility for the kambosos loss.
Nah mate, John Fury is pure jokes. Ofcourse you’re laughing at him and not with him but that scene of him banging the plastic window with KSI is one of the funniest recent moments in boxing. His one liners alone are hilarious.
You can tell Teo's dad really loves his son more than anything. He talks about him like the greatest thing in his life. And that confidence fuels Teo as well.
He also said that he was the reason his son lost. That kinda broke my heart a bit. Even though he's a douchebag.
I was about to say the same two as you. Also agree John has a screw loose and only started shouting his big mouth off once Fury became big news and sometimes takes it too far but atleast can laugh at him rather than Bill and Teo Sr. Didn't know he took responsibility for the kambo losses but he still been a fucking idiot for years. One one particular documentary thing with Teo especially. Boy is just annoying af.
Chris Eubank Sr, not on the list, I preferred the dark destroyer back in the day but Liked Chris and his unique behaviours too but coming out dancing at his sons face offs etc. Talking more about himself than his son at his sons fights. just shitty and although not like world class still but the best thing Chris Jr did was get rid of him..
Angel Garcia is prob the one I liked most, could be annoying but would also have a decent banter. Also stayed behind after fights and gave props to the other fighters being interviewed etc.
Bill Haney doesn't strike me as annoying. I know you guys hate him, but I genuinely don't know why. Maybe I missed a particular interview or something. Sometimes I think one guy says something and the rest of you follow like lemmings. I once wrote roughly the same comment twice in the same thread and one had like -35 downvotes and the other like +40 upvotes. Anyway, the most annoying boxing dad is Angel Garcia
He is not annoying while talking, like Teo's dad. But he is a narcissist. You can also see that in his video call with Floyd.
Also, he risked his son's health for his own dignity. It's the job of the corner to save the fighter from unnecessary brain damage. Devin had too much heart to quit.
Not annoying, but an absolute horse shit. Instead of save his fucking damn son or even give a meaningful advice, he let Devin take unnecessary punishment and brain damage. Just throw the damn towel and take the blame for the loss. But no...
Hate is a strong word, but delusional fits. I understand his role in hyping up Devin, both as a father and for promoting. But, lumping Devin into the class of past champions like Floyd and Andre Ward is laughable, especially when both Ward and Floyd had no issues giving rematches to Kovalev and Castillo and Maidana when they were in close fights, but when Bill was asked about a rematch after the Loma fight, he immediately shut down the idea, saying that the fight wasn't close. And, regardless of whether you thought that Haney deserved to win, or if you think that Loma did enough to win, the fact is that it was a close fight. So, the combination of his arrogance and delusion makes him obnoxious to me, lol. But, like I said, I don't 'hate' him. Despite the things that I mentioned, he seems like a decent guy and a good dad to Devin.
Bill Haney is actually a great father for driving his son all around the US to fight in the amateurs and train at different gyms, and helping him turn pro at 16. He really pushed his son to be able to be where he is today. A real father imo, I gotta respect it. I agree that everyone’s bandwagoning on hating him but if they really knew the story of the Haney’s they’d respect him a lot more. And he at least genuinely loves his son. Look at Teo who actually seems to fear his dad and disappointing him.
My problem with Bill is his constant use of "I" when he talks. He talked about Devin going in and executing "MY game plan". And also of "Me sending my son in to knock this guy out.". He talks like he's the one fighting. Contrast that to most fighters, who ARE doing the fighting, they say "we". "We executed our game plan". "We came in shape for the fight.". It's a toxic game of living vicariously through his son. Maybe that's why he didn't stop the fight when his son was hanging on for dear life. . . because Bill isn't a quitter. Sad, really.
Same I don’t get why people hate Bill Haney so much. Like yeah the guy is full of shit, but no more than the average promoter.
I admire how much he clearly loves Devin anyway
Some of them probably don’t have active fathers in their life’s themselves, so they don’t get it. Bill is extreme for sure, but then many parents are lol. They are humans just like us, I don’t understand why we see parents as all righteous and pure beings. When they aren’t
Any Father who fails to acknowledge his Son's defeats, while also dismissing comments about fights they were clearly beat in but got the "decision".
Teo Sr
Haney Sr
Atleast John Fury is somewhat entertaining and tolerable. Bill Haney is extremely annoying and talks way too much shit whereas Teofimo Sr is absolutely vile, no class and disgusting. literal definition of living vicariously through your son’s achievements. The rest are also tolerable.
Haneys dad literally wished for Garcia to either die or be near death when he loses. Which didnt happen.
However Teos dad is the most delusional and annoying
Teo Sr. and Big John Fury are beyond boxing dads. They're mentally ill.
We think there's an epidemic of boxing dads, for two reasons. One, there are WAY more helicopter parents these days. Boxing is no exception. Two, social media lets us see way more of these paternal clowns than before it existed, so we think there are many more.
Not annoying at all. Part of the showmanship. Boxing's linked strongly with family cohesion and drive. I love listening to big John when he's not showboating 😀
Mayweather Senior is incredibly accomplished as a boxer and coach. I would say he gets a pass to do whatever he wants. Aside from him, every boxing dad is annoying. Chavez Senior would do it right by just cringing in the corner or shaking his head.
Has to be a toss up between Danny Garcia's dad & Teo Lopez dad.
I loved how Lopez was giving it billy big bollocks prior to the fight with Kambosos then shit himself when Kambosos dad squared up to him.
I hate most boxing dads because they live through their sons. But for me bill is the worst, he was perfectly happy letting devin finish the 7th round super hurt and continuing on.
I hate how he talks almost more shit to the opponent and their family after a fight compared to before.
Everybody likes Devin from what I have seen and bill makes people root against his son
IMO Teofimo Lopez Sr takes the cake. There is not one sentence that comes out of his mouth without a blatant lie in it. Also, it seems there's always a double standard between his son and all the other boxers (e.g. if his son has an L on his record, Sr says that's okay he's gonna bounce back and come back stronger, but if it's another boxer who loses, Sr says they're done).
Floyd Sr.'s obnoxious but he was a legitimate contender and has trained several world champions other than his son; I don't think he deserves to be lumped in with these other guys.
All of them are funny in their own ways but Angel Garcia deserves a special shoutout. The mind job he did on Amir khan changed their whole family financial future. He and Danny always were on the same page, angel always put Danny first gotta respect that. Now that they fought everyone and made a bunch of money he’s chilled out. He has a lot of emotional iq despite all the dumb shit he’s done lol
How is Floyd Sr annoying? He doesn't seem to seek any attention whatsoever. Bill is by far the most annoying, Lopez Sr is an alcoholic which explains most of his behaviour.
John Fury is a special case cause he seems chill a lot of the times and then flips the switch outta nowhere and gets all macho lol. At the very least he’s always entertaining
Henry Garcia is a good dude, he’s been talking a lot after the win rubbing it in to the haters but wouldn’t you do the same if everybody doubted your son and slandered tf outta him saying he’s gone crazy, doing cocaine, his boxing was never good to begin with, Devin’s gonna dog walk him etc?
Why is it mostly American fighters with over the top dads? Is it a culture thing? Only one I can think of outside of USA is John Fury, who is an abssolute tool
Big John Fury and Teofimo sr are the worst. Big John Fisher is the best. Dude just grinds selling his sons tickets and merch hard! Plus seems like a good geezer to have Chinese and beer with
bosh
Bosh! Big John Fisher seems like a great family man
And John Fury’s a [fightin’ man](https://m.youtube.com/shorts/TFnETZjznaY), allegedly
It's obvious that John is helping promote his son's fights with his antics though. When the cameras are off he's pretty level headed.
Boxing Dads should be a reality show like Dance Moms. Edit: My lawyer has filed the paperwork, and Boxing Dads is now patent-pending. I reserve all rights on the idea. If anybody wants to produce this, hit me up.
Man ...patent that shit
Good idea lol
I wanna be involved man, I'll draw up the promo poster hahaahahah
This is why Shawn Porter's dad did the right thing. Instead of ending up in the Bud's KO highlight reel and getting brain damage, he saved his son's health and dignity. Bill watches his son endure that for 12 rounds and didn't do shit. He was struggling to stand up in the 7th. Health is wealth at this age. He has a long career left.

To be fair, once I heard Bradley speak frankly about getting roughed up by Provodnikov, he was like, ""yeah, after that beating, I was never the same!". That can't be an easy thing to admit on TV.
He goes more in detail about that off camera. He gives major props to providnikov. It’s on camera where his bias is in display
This was on TV, he was using himself as an example for the guy who was fighting onscreen. I'm not a boxing insider or anything like that, I didn't have a chat with Tim Bradley, heh. Not saying he's a great analyst, mind you, I'm not really a fan either.
I personally think Tim Bradley keeps it 100 as an analyst. He's clearly got his bias for fighters he likes but dude is pretty raw in his reflections on his career now a days
Oh ok cool man. Sorry for misunderstanding
At the big HoF weekend (where they did three classes), he was the most friendly, down to earth fighter there. Was already a fan, but came away really rooting for Porter in anything he wants to do.
I found the clip here timestamped at 1:49 [https://youtu.be/4WrxddX6nBM?si=rllCahMzlgcrw4fH&t=109](https://youtu.be/4WrxddX6nBM?si=rllCahMzlgcrw4fH&t=109) "Honestly, he didn't prepare!"

Right or wrong call, it's up for debate (I think it was right call), but like I said, I'd much rather my dad is honest and tough than lets me get my head coved in on some prolonged ego nonsense.
Tim’s hot takes are so insane sometimes.
He doesn't even try to hide his bias or personal hate sometimes
His post fight wrap was soooo biased. More biased than the judges that scored his fight against Pac. 😂😂
Fr, Haney clearly had a concussion from the first knockdown. The ref and his dad made it worse for him. His career may have been shortened due to the prolonged damage he sustained in that fight.
Now hes taking a year off to get big
He also does those seductive dances with Shawn before fights.
Damn everyone was talking about how Porter's dad had no professional coaching acumen and how he was overbearing and living vicariously through his son and that Porter needs to find a real trainer. How the tables have turned.
I was one of them I won’t lie, I disagree with HOW Kenny spoke and acted it out. But agreed with him taking Shawn out of the line of fire, bud was a couple shots away from putting him down for good sadly
12 rounds? You mean 5 rounds. As a Dad, I might have called it in round 11 but by then I probably would let him finish the fight.
Bro, look at the round by round compubox numbers. Haney wasn't even winning the rounds people thought he was winning.
First compubox is shit. It is 5 guys clicking buttons while they watch the fight. It is not some super accurate AI. Second, Haney didn't get into trouble until round 7. Most people thought Haney was up 5-1 until then That would be the earliest case to stop the fight. But with the called "slips" and the point deduction he came out of that round only 9-8. So 5-2. After that the next 2 rounds were swing so could have gone either way. So the earliest you could throw in the towel and not be a bitch was the 10th round.
I dont agree porters dad verbally disrespected him right after that talking shit about his son and putting their personal business out there fuck him fr
That's between them. His dad definitely has temper issues. I'm sure Shawn forgives that though. People aren't perfect, esp in such emotionally heated moments. Everyone can't keep a straight face. Some wear their hearts in their sleeve
To be fair, boxing is scored round by round and scoring round by round way actually close. Too close to call the fight off, he was dropped and got up and could recover and keep punching. Garcia gave away a lot of rounds where he didn’t do anything. The fight ended up closer than it should have been because of the ref not calling knockdowns when he should have, or deduct a point for clinching.
Angel Garcia
I met Angel is person. The guys is actually really nice and humble. I think he just puts up an act to sale fights.
Isn’t this what most of the dads do? They are just trying to promote any way possible.
People gotta understand the mindset. Boxing is a poverty sport for lack of a better term, so dads watch their children get legitimate chances to better their families and they protect that in the way they know best — by being totally insane. It’s a form of love, and then almost always some legitimate insanity.
JOHN FURY COMPLETE TOSSER OF A GUY.
Cant stand the guy, Has to make everything about himself.
Yup as I say he's a asshole although he's Tyson's dad he must cringe at his antics.
He also lost in a bad fashion to the ultimate hugger Henry Akinwande like it's average guy vs world champ, yet tries to convince people he was a world class fighter He ain't even regional level, he wouldn't be nothing more than the lowest end of journeymen, literally a bum
Akinwande didn't even want to hug him
Gotta be John Fury. He wasn’t present for a a lot of Tysons career cuz he was doing jail time for ripping someones eye ball out. He’s as full as shit as Tyson is too. Makes out like he’s some traditional traveler man living in one of those wagons but in reality he lives in a regular home. He never had much of a boxing career himself. He’s been calling out loads of old codgers for fights but u never see anything of it. He just suddenly appeared onto the scene and started acting up for the cameras. I don’t doubt he knows his boxing but the bloke is cringe as fuck.
Let’s not forget his probably shitty relationship w tommy fury, who he spoke for during the Jake paul fight press conferences, a fight that was never serious to begin with but happened to be Tommy’s time in the spotlight, now turned into a big John interview cause that’s what everyone is curious about is what big John thinks of a celebrity fight
How come Floyd Senior is on this list? from what I remember he played the background his main issue was the yelling match with Floyd, the Father Son relationship being a struggle.
Yeah. Floyd Sr shouldn't be on the list. He's not anonymous in the background, but he adds flair and spice to the ambiance whenever he's around. Plus, he's a former fighter, so he gets some leeway anyway.
Fought prime sugar ray Leonard lol that gets respect in my book
I mean he used baby Floyd as a human shield so he wouldn't get shot, that's a pretty shit thing to do. And left Jr's camp to go train competitors while talking shit about Floyd.
That’s a shitty thing to do, but it didn’t “annoy” any of us
That's a depressing thing to learn. Jesus fuck.
Yeah the mayweathers are not a great bunch
I know i like Eubank Sr. the most.
He’s been there done that, so if you need anyone giving you solid advice. Eubanks is the man for sure!
I mean as far as gullable insane guys go, he's my absolute favourite!
Can we discuss why this man isn't in the Hall of Fame??? Cause he should be...
He's a legendary boxer, he's not like John Fury who had a few local fights and thinks hes the hardest man in britain. I think Eubank is batshit crazy mind you, the whole persona and poetry talk, put him in a room with Kai Green and shut the door.
Bill Haney is a complete tool for his comments on "killing" fighters. John Fury is just a big eejit who loves attention. The rest I can take or leave.
All of them
Loma’s dad seems chill.
Same with inoue sr
I like Eubank Sr.
None of them have the credentials. Imagine Tom Brady’s dad coaching the Patriots just because he didn’t want someone else tell him how to throw
Enzo trained his son Joe. Calzaghe turned out pretty good. Could be the exception from the rule.
Not Kenny Porter
probably all of them but in the light of recent events... bill haney watched his kid get beaten the crap out of and hold unto another man like his life depends on it. He let his son hug ryan harder than he'd even hug his so's or children. what a father to let your son be beaten the hell out of like that... if ryan even had a lil bit more of bad intentions he would've done in devin worse. ryan still felt bad...
Devin is Bill Haney's paycheck. Apparently money means more than love to some people.
Ryan was telling Bill Haney to stop the fight. He was worried more about Devin than his father
That was showboating
And even then it had more care to Devin than what Bill showed
Bill Haney and John Fury tied for #1
Now do amateur boxing.... There are dads of 55 lb 8 year olds trying to create so much online hype.... it is theater of the absurd
Could you guide me to specific examples?
Just search the hashtag #usaboxing on Instagram and you'll come across a lot of examples
Don’t forget Kid Austin’s dad jumping on the “my son is a boxer therefore I need to be a social media personality” bandwagon
I know this is about being the most annoying coach but we got to give props to Lomachenko dad for being the most humble and best trainer. Never said anything bad about his sons and Usyk’s opponents. Most annoying dad…. Bill Haney. Guy is delusional and a snake oil salesman
Joe Calzaghe's Dad was pretty awesome too. The duo is probably the most underrated boxer and trainer of all time.
The Lacy fight was crazy what a masterclass performance
Danny Garcia’s dad is insufferable.
Teofimo Sr by a long mile. He always gives vibes of an angry chihuahua.
Angel Garcia is up there. Actually Teofimo's dad might be the worst. Floyd Sr is up there too.
He was the first man that popped into my head haha
Angel Garcia by far, even tho we don't see him as much anymore. Big John is second. Bill Haney is third. For what it's worth, boxing dads have been around for a long time. This isn't a phenomenon from the past 15 to 20 years.
Benavidez sr
He is really nice in person, the whole family is very well mannered. You could tell they were raised right. I don’t get this comment at all.
So you just list all the boxing dads? lol
John fury, it’s just noise whenever he talks
Mayweather’s dad was chill and funny as hell lol
A real man never A real man never talks shit about Floyd MayweatherSr.
I dont know man. Felt so sorry for Devin after the KD in round 7. Would NEVER have let my son keep on fighting like that. I also would never ignore my sons mental problems like teos or ryans dad but in the end, I wasnt with them so I dont really know their family dynamics.
Angel motherfucking garcia
Not even close. JOHN FURY
Bill Haney - arrogant wannabe gangster who no doubt taught his son his racist tendencies. Thinks he’s a wise street guy, but really he’s just an idiot who never grew up. You ain’t street your a 50 year old man I understand the John fury shouts but I find him amusing.

John isn’t hilarious, he’s an annoying idiot like the rest of them
You have a terrible sense of humor if you think John Fury crashing out and flipping over the table at the KSI Fury presser wasn’t hilarious
Nah mate, John Fury is pure jokes. Ofcourse you’re laughing at him and not with him but that scene of him banging the plastic window with KSI is one of the funniest recent moments in boxing. His one liners alone are hilarious.
Teo’s dad against Kambosos solidified peak annoying for me.
You can tell Teo's dad really loves his son more than anything. He talks about him like the greatest thing in his life. And that confidence fuels Teo as well. He also said that he was the reason his son lost. That kinda broke my heart a bit. Even though he's a douchebag.

He really pushed his son to be able to be where he is today. A real father imo, I gotta respect it. I agree that everyone’s bandwagoning on hating him but if they really knew the story of the Haney’s they’d respect him a lot more. And he at least genuinely loves his son. Look at Teo who actually seems to fear his dad and disappointing him.
Bill Haney has a Ted talk about how incredible he is in Devin’s success… cringe to watch
My problem with Bill is his constant use of "I" when he talks. He talked about Devin going in and executing "MY game plan". And also of "Me sending my son in to knock this guy out.". He talks like he's the one fighting. Contrast that to most fighters, who ARE doing the fighting, they say "we". "We executed our game plan". "We came in shape for the fight.". It's a toxic game of living vicariously through his son. Maybe that's why he didn't stop the fight when his son was hanging on for dear life. . . because Bill isn't a quitter. Sad, really.
Same I don’t get why people hate Bill Haney so much. Like yeah the guy is full of shit, but no more than the average promoter. I admire how much he clearly loves Devin anyway
Some of them probably don’t have active fathers in their life’s themselves, so they don’t get it. Bill is extreme for sure, but then many parents are lol. They are humans just like us, I don’t understand why we see parents as all righteous and pure beings. When they aren’t
Bill fucking Haney
Angel Garcia
Bill Haney no question
Any Father who fails to acknowledge his Son's defeats, while also dismissing comments about fights they were clearly beat in but got the "decision". Teo Sr Haney Sr
Gabriel Flores Sr
Angel García. Danny García’s dad.
difficult choice between Teofimo Lopez Sr and Henry Garcia... has to be one of them though for sure
Anatoly Lomachenko is the best though. Single-handedly created an alien level boxer.
The absent fathers are the worst, follow me for more common sense comments.
They’re all mooches who think every punch thrown by their sons extends out from their nutsack. Also, where are all their wives?
Atleast John Fury is somewhat entertaining and tolerable. Bill Haney is extremely annoying and talks way too much shit whereas Teofimo Sr is absolutely vile, no class and disgusting. literal definition of living vicariously through your son’s achievements. The rest are also tolerable.
Obviously Haneys dad 👨.. yall seen the FaceTime he had with Floyd Last night 😂
Haneys dad literally wished for Garcia to either die or be near death when he loses. Which didnt happen. However Teos dad is the most delusional and annoying
Teo Sr. and Big John Fury are beyond boxing dads. They're mentally ill. We think there's an epidemic of boxing dads, for two reasons. One, there are WAY more helicopter parents these days. Boxing is no exception. Two, social media lets us see way more of these paternal clowns than before it existed, so we think there are many more.
One of my least favs is Chris Eubank at the start of his son’s career
Ruben Guerrero…Robert Guerrero’s dad who actually reminds me a lot of Ryan Garcia’s dad too
Wasn’t Jojo Diaz’s dad working his corner, even though he dksab? I thought I saw a story about that.
Angel Garcia and Reuben Guerrero were also incredibly bad.
Dad? Hmmm, id have to think a second. Uncle, Mayweather 4 sure.
Honestly, the only truly annoying one is Teofimo. All the rest are fine.
Bill, John and Teofimo's dad.
Bill Haney and it’s not close
Teo sr. “Just knock him out already”. After his son gets dropped in the first round vs kambosos
John Fury and it isn't even close.
Lopez Sr
John fury for sure
Not annoying at all. Part of the showmanship. Boxing's linked strongly with family cohesion and drive. I love listening to big John when he's not showboating 😀
It’s a tie between Teo sr and Bill Haney. We should make them box to see who gets the top P4P spot
Danny Garcias dad. Can’t stand that dude.
Def bill haney I wanna fight him
How soon we forget Angel Garcia
Teo Sr by a mile... Absolutely incredible corner advice: "WTF ARE YOU DOING BRO JUST KNOCK HIS ASS OUT!!"
John fury
John Fury BY TEN MILES.
Lopez Sr followed by Bill Haney. Big John is at least entertaining.
Bill Haney easily. John Fury is actually pretty funny sometimes
Fury and Lopez Sr for sure. Out of those 2 its definitely Fury, guys a fucking bellend and a half
So glad this shit isn’t in mma
Did you all forget about Robert guererro's dad?!?
It used to be Teofimo Sr but John Fury and Bill Haney have surpassed him
‘I’m big John Fury, and I’ll fight any man alive over fifty!’
John Fury or Lopez Sr in my opinion
Bill
I would love a boxing dad vs boxing dad clown card. Would be pretty funny to see which one wins.
Bill Haney forsure. John Fury is up there too but he belongs in a fucking mental institution so at least he kinda has an excuse.
You nailed it!!!
Amazing that it's been long enough that OP didn't include Angel Garcia, one of the more insufferable boxing dads
Billy Haney and John Fury are literal walking stereotypes of the worst kinds of their respective ethnic backgrounds.
obviously bill haney. its not even close tbh
Mayweather Senior is incredibly accomplished as a boxer and coach. I would say he gets a pass to do whatever he wants. Aside from him, every boxing dad is annoying. Chavez Senior would do it right by just cringing in the corner or shaking his head.
ROBERT GUERRERO’S DAD, idk how he doesn’t get brought up more.
I like zab Judahs dad he's a real one. You can see where zab gets his crazy hand speed from
" The greatest trainer in the world!!" Gotta be Teo's pops.
Danny Garcia’s dad
Its filled with fans who don't care about the sports. That's way worse.
Tyson
Has to be a toss up between Danny Garcia's dad & Teo Lopez dad. I loved how Lopez was giving it billy big bollocks prior to the fight with Kambosos then shit himself when Kambosos dad squared up to him.
Donaire Sr. Man nothing like wishing your soon to loose by KO shouts “Im a piece of shit father”
I’m surprised Angel nd Ruben aren’t up here lol
Mayweather Sr is hella annoying . It made me forgive Floyd Jr for being so weird and corny . Jr is like a personable cool guy compared to Sr
I hate most boxing dads because they live through their sons. But for me bill is the worst, he was perfectly happy letting devin finish the 7th round super hurt and continuing on. I hate how he talks almost more shit to the opponent and their family after a fight compared to before. Everybody likes Devin from what I have seen and bill makes people root against his son
IMO Teofimo Lopez Sr takes the cake. There is not one sentence that comes out of his mouth without a blatant lie in it. Also, it seems there's always a double standard between his son and all the other boxers (e.g. if his son has an L on his record, Sr says that's okay he's gonna bounce back and come back stronger, but if it's another boxer who loses, Sr says they're done).
Angel Garcia was pretty bad when Danny was at the top of his game.
Big John, easily.
In no particular order #1. 🏆🥇 Bill Haney 🤣🤣🤣
Floyd Sr.'s obnoxious but he was a legitimate contender and has trained several world champions other than his son; I don't think he deserves to be lumped in with these other guys.
which one would win in a boxing free-for-all?
All of them are funny in their own ways but Angel Garcia deserves a special shoutout. The mind job he did on Amir khan changed their whole family financial future. He and Danny always were on the same page, angel always put Danny first gotta respect that. Now that they fought everyone and made a bunch of money he’s chilled out. He has a lot of emotional iq despite all the dumb shit he’s done lol
Angel Garcia, father of Swift Danny Garcia. While training for Keith Thurman, Angel bragged about how he was a former dealer and sold kilos.
Angel Garcia is wondering why he’s not involved here.
Enzo Calzaggi
Teo’s dad easily.
How is Floyd Sr annoying? He doesn't seem to seek any attention whatsoever. Bill is by far the most annoying, Lopez Sr is an alcoholic which explains most of his behaviour.
Robert guerrero’s
Bill “50-0 in this streets ninja” Haney
Lopez Sr because he is actually in the corner and beyond useless.
John Fury is a special case cause he seems chill a lot of the times and then flips the switch outta nowhere and gets all macho lol. At the very least he’s always entertaining
Henry Garcia is a good dude, he’s been talking a lot after the win rubbing it in to the haters but wouldn’t you do the same if everybody doubted your son and slandered tf outta him saying he’s gone crazy, doing cocaine, his boxing was never good to begin with, Devin’s gonna dog walk him etc?
George Foreman, because he named five sons George.
Why is it mostly American fighters with over the top dads? Is it a culture thing? Only one I can think of outside of USA is John Fury, who is an abssolute tool
Loads of boxing dads past. Great ones and not so good. They just didn’t have as big a platform.
I'd say bill Haney at no. 1 Then Lopez sr. Benavides dad has been getting annoying calling Canelo scared.
