If ur honest, you'll see Haney is doing what Bud never did his whole career.

Bud has never fought an elite prime champion in a high risk fight. And on top of it, Haney is fighting a black fighter. Bud's whole resume is filled with guys way out of their prime or b level guys. There isn't a single prime elite fighter on Bud's resume or a fight on Bud's resume that made you say 'Bud might lose this one because his opponent is really good' Canelo- past prime Madrimov- b level Spence- past prime Avanysean- past prime/b level Porter- past prime Brook- past prime Mean machine- b level Khan- past prime Benavidez- Injured/past prime/b level Horn- c level Indingo- b level Felix Diaz- c level Molina- c level/past prime Postol- b level Lundy- c level Jean- c level Dulorme- b level Beltran- c level Gamboa- weight bullied badly Burns- b level Haney is fighting an elite prime champion in a fight that most of us think he's going to get beat up in. This is a very high risk fight for Haney. Bud has never challenged himself like this.
