    Those would be good fights. I’m not sure about how feasible they are given the ESPN vs. DAZN issue but if those guys could “cross the street” as they say then I would be all for it.

    I believe that Top Rank would wanna keep things in-house though.

      I like Linares in this fight,I really do,reason being,Haney has no power and when Linares loses,he's knocked out,so imo Haney don't have the power to Keep Linares from winning this fight.#GOLDENBOY

        Matchroom Boxing, Haney’s promoter, made an offer on the fight earlier this week

        yet they never made any offers to loma, lopez, etc...bunch of hot air. they only made offers to over the hill fighters. well boxing is a business, building the hype

            They might be banking on Linares weak chin and age. This is a good fight to see where Haney is really at.

                Lets be real here,linares boxing ability/skill is SEVERAL levels above those bums man lol. Guys chin is his Achilles heel and Haney isnt exactly putting people's lights out. Not saying Linares is atg or anything but Barrios and Kambosos dont belong in the same sentence as Linares. Should be a great tactical boxing match between Haney n Linares

                  I dont think its a solid fight. Its alright, because Haney doesnt have Linares ******nite (power and physicality) and without those Linares is
                  still a decent test.

                  I know you Love Davis (I dont get the undying love though). Did you have the same energy criticizing Davies when he went through that Walsh, Fonseca, Cuellar, Ruiz, Nunez stretch? Even Gamboa wasnt a good fight and Santa Cruz was objectively not a legit 130 fighter. Davies has been a champion since early 2017 and only fought 2 top 10 rated fighters.

                  Honest question, I dont know if you did or did not, but if you did, that would show some consistency.

                    Teofimo has to face his mandatory Kambosos next in case you hadn't heard?

                    As for Lomachenko...Haney was already his mando but Lomachenko asked for Franchise Champion status so he wouldn't have to fight him. So the Ukrainian missed his chance.

                      Good fight. This will tell us where Haney is really at.



                      Looking forward to this.
