This Is Exactly Why I Think Devin Haney Beats Shakur Stevenson

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Puqj6HzpvFM The dude in your gif below is about to fight right now :lol1:

I felt Shakur got the better of that. Good spar though. I disagree on that. I think the quality of their pro opponents has been overall quite comparable and one could argue it both ways, but whatever disparity there is is negligible regardless. The real difference maker in experience between the two is Shakur's superior amateur pedigree. It's evident in this spar IMO. They have both developed and improved since then of course so you can't put too much stock in an old spar, but still, if it happens (which I don't think it will) I'd pick Shakur I have nothing against picking Shakur. Haney is at a different point in his career than Shakur is though and that is unquestionable and he's younger than Shakur with it. Haney's fire is a bit hotter than what Shakur's is at the moment and I'm not a Haney fan by any means but Shakur isn't getting a walkover like his pro career has been so far, fighting against Haney. Whereas Haney has fought at least 1 guy that challenging. Shakur has had walkovers this whole time. It's negligible until you see them in the ring and it's "oh shit. this is going to be another jab and grab snore fest" while Shakur has nothing to answer for it. experience matters

I usually fade your picks so my money's on Shakur if this fight happens

Bro you just chatting..... Loma vs haney was never negotiated at any point. Haney became number 1 in the wbc and Loma became franchise. No negotiations Tank vs Haney was never negotiated at any point. Just team tank putting up fake obstacles to avoid real smoke. No negotiations When Haney was with DAZN he asked for 5 million dollars to fight Loma. Go do your research if you don’t believe me. Teams never got to negotiations because they were too far apart from the get go.

He priced himself out of a Loma fight years ago and he also priced himself out of a Tank fight back in the Tank vs Barrios times. When Floyd talked about fighters knowing their worth at the press conference it was a direct shot at Haney. Bro you just chatting..... Loma vs haney was never negotiated at any point.

I have no doubt that Shakur would wash Haney in a fight, 10-2 fight for Shakur. He’s just that much better than Haney.

You know damn well that's a lie as i tried to bet you some SC tickets last year but you didn't want none That had nothing to do with Tank vs Ryan. That had something to do with Ryan pulling out of a fight. I don’t remember who the opponent was supposed to be.

Bob said he's interested in resigning him at the haney/Loma press conference. And Haney has never priced himself out of any fight. So to suggest that sounds haterish. Haney has showed the sacrifices he's willing to make in order to get the fights he deserves. Tank vs Haney should be next on showtime ppv. No reason for anything else if they both win their next fight He priced himself out of a Loma fight years ago and he also priced himself out of a Tank fight back in the Tank vs Barrios times.

To show an old sparring session and determine how a fight would go now based on that, is so incorrect. Besides, that sparring match was pretty even.

I felt Shakur got the better of that. Good spar though. But I will say, Haney has at least fought better opponents and thus has more experience. I disagree on that.

I think none of them will avoid the fight when it is offered, assuming Haney would still be okay with fighting at 135.

Devin Haney is really expensive I doubt TR resigns him. And I’m sure he’ll price himself out of a Tank fight. Bob said he's interested in resigning him at the haney/Loma press conference.

Devin is too clumsy for Shakur. It’ll be a competitive chess fight for sure, but Shakur will systematically dissect him round by round.

He’s was a unified champion at 130 though. How many times have we seen a champion from the lower division move up to challenge the reigning champion? So many times we couldn’t begin to count. Problem is he lost his Belts on the scales, therefore it voids the option to move up and automatically challenge the Champ. :boxing:

You don’t believe Ryan’s going to win stop fronting. You know damn well that's a lie as i tried to bet you some SC tickets last year but you didn't want none

It would have been tough to justify Shakur getting a shot before Loma. There was a lot of hype around Haney vs Loma, though I do agree that Loma is on the decline. Shakur hadn't yet fought at 135 when they finalized the fight and Loma is ranked #1 in WBO and WBC. He’s was a unified champion at 130 though.

Shakur should be fighting Haney now instead of Loma. He’s supposedly the future of TR and Loma is on his last legs. He should’ve tried to force his way into a title shot, especially with Haney on the last fight of his TR contract. Now TR has no control of the belts if Haney wins and goes back to DAZN which is what he probably does. It would have been tough to justify Shakur getting a shot before Loma.

At this point between the 2,I think TR has the ability to offer the larger purses to Haney than does DAZN considering they have all the big players at 140. There's no Tank fight for Haney cause that little bulldyke is getting dismantled come April 22, regardless no way Haney makes 136 after Loma anyways. I guess Hearn can dangle a Ryan showdown at 140 for him but without any belts on the line is there really a big enough incentive there? You don’t believe Ryan’s going to win stop fronting.

Shakur schools Haney. He's just a better boxer.
