Line up a string of the oldest & most limited of the top 15 for defences & mandatories as long as you can preaching that everyone of them are unbelievable fighter's to any womble that'll listen.

Its a very good test and I'm rooting for Haney.


Hopefully the kid has it.

Sorry Hearn, Lopez has all the belts and took down the best in the division. Haney holding a fake belt and failing to impress, the Gamboa fight was a snoozer where if he was the best he would have clocked a highlight reel KO.

Ko's don't show that a boxer is the best in his division. I guess no one with any knowledge of boxing will say that Wilder is currently the best active heavyweight simply because he has more ko's in his resume than other elites in the division.

Nope not when Haney was completely irrelevant has yet to fight a legit opponent, who still claims a belt the face of WBC proved irrelevent when he stated Lopez as the undisputed champ. Loma would not have faced the likes of Lopez if he feared anybody. I am stating the facts that Salaimán said himself. Haney fans are a sad bunch. Don't hate me because your boy sporting a fake belt. It's good enough for you, Hearn and Haney himself, why you mad then? The truth hurts thats why.

your mindset is way off.

haney won the eliminator. He was the mando. Loma dropped the belt rather than defend against at him. Haney in no way needed to do anything else to earn the title shot.

facing Teo doesn’t make him brave it makes him like money. Every boxer takes the big money fights. It’s rare that guys are like Hagler- fight all the tough guys to climb the ladder.

your giving Loma credit for not fighting Haney and them criticizing Haney for taking the belt. That is crazy.

I’m not out here claiming Haney is the champ. I’m just pointing out what happened.

let’s hope Teo fights him before going to JWW. Garcia opted to not fight him even though he is the mando. Loma dropped the belt rather than fight him. Tank is talking Gary Russell. Teo signed to fight kambosis.

it’s fine if you don’t like Haney but it’s clear the top guys see him as high risk, low reward and thus will not fight him.

seems crazy to hold that against Haney imo.

Excellent post.

Even if Haney KO'd Linares in one round, it wouldn't mean much because it's happened to Linares several times by random mexican journeymen LOL

i like teo (the fighter) the most out of all the lightweights, but i genuinely think he's afraid of haney. if they fight any time soon, im putting money on a Haney decision.

The belts only signify that the holder is an above average fighter. That’s it. They have to meet each other to prove they are king

[MONGOOSE66]

Haney fighting Linares is a solid fight. That said, anyone who thinks Teo is worried about Haney doesn’t know boxing. In terms of boxing skills Haney isn’t superior. What truly separates them is Haney hits like he has a king size pillow wrapped around his hands.
If any boxer is slow in foot. Haney will whip them with BOXING SKILLS. That’s why Linares is a smart match up for Haney but he better not get hit solid by Linares.
