So Sr and Jr have both come out recently and said they will fight Haney and they want to shut him and everyone up for saying they are not undisputed because they don't have the WBC belt. Both also mentioned to Haney pricing himself out, but if this fight happens in 2021, who ya got?
Haney would rehydrate to super middleweight on fight night and bully Lopez.
I still think Teo gonna be too strong for him. Josh was like 165 during that fight
I'll still say that it is a 50/50 fight. Haney was fighting way out of his element against Ryan Garcia. He squared up just a bit too much and fought a lot off the front font. However, I don't expect him to fight like that against Teofimo Lopez, Jr.
Also, Ryan was a lot faster than Devin Haney too. Which was something that I couldn't envision happening. Every punch he threw was accurate and to the point. His hand to eye coordination was exceptional that night.
However, we all know the reason why now because he was juiced to the gills during that bout.

Let's see, Teo can't cut the ring and Devin can't fight a guy his size that actually has power. I suspect it looks a lot like Shakur v DLS or Teo v Ortiz. Haney gonna be running and hugging all night long, Teo will be failing to catch him. Depends on what the judges like and which side dropped more discreet envelopes under the table, and whether Haney gets caught. I'm leaning Teo. Teo is a much more complete fighter than Ryan, even though he can't cut the ring.
The fight to make at lightweight is Davis vs Loma or Lopez. Let's focus on crapping on the promoters until they make the fights we want. Haney can fight Nakatani if they want it tough.
I'm a fan of both, and I can see how both would win and it's gotta be hard to pick against Lopez right now as he is rightfully the king of the division. But... I'm taking Haney, I just think he's got the style to frustrate Lopez.
That's how I see it. Lopez has a way better resume but I feel Haney has the tools to take his explosiveness away and really frustrate him. I also feel Lopez is very tight at the weight & despite a big 12th round he faded badly after 7 despite it being fought at a snails pace.
Lopez is better than I gave him credit for & he's the man right now but I feel he is a level or 2 below Tank & Haney personally.
Hopefully they all fight & give us fans what we want.
Right. There’s ways we can see Haney make it a boring fight, and win the day. But I have a feeling that he’d have to make Teo look really bad to get top credit for it. I could see a frustrated Teo still get the win on points if it’s Haney who is the one trying to make a boring fight. Loma did very little in the first half versus Teo, and came on late, but too late. Also to Teos credit he fought hard in the twelfth. If that cut came earlier...
Nobody wants a boring safe Haney win vs Teo except Haney himself. I hope the fight is one of those wars nobody was expecting. But yeah, I can see why people are nervous.
Teo would bully Haney.
He's getting overhyped due to fighting a certain style but I actually think that Teo is the better boxer of the two and actually has pop.
Although I think Loma was sorta there for the taking at 135, it's still hard for me to pick against the most proven guy at lightweight.
Most proven doesn't always mean best. We don't know how Lopez does vs a slick counter puncher with good movement yet. I think it'll be a chess match but what if Lopez gets beat to the punch?

- -Nobody want to watch Haney.
Watching tripe simmer would be more elucidating.
