And how's that Haney's fault? Would be force fighters into the ring

No, and this is the issue. Social media has allowed boxers to make themselves more than what they are. It allows them to bark like little chihuahuas “calling out” so and so and so and so. “Fans” in turn suffer from this pandemic known as celebrity worship. They seem to believe that because actual accomplished fighters aren’t giving “their” worshipped fighter the attention necessary that’s somehow ducking. Haney is literally 25 fights into his career and has fought no one. That’s 100% on him. 15 years ago Haney wouldn’t have been given the time of day based on his resume. As now as it would have been then he’d have been laughed at by his peers. Is he talented? Sure. Worthy of a world championship? Debatable. His oppositional combined record is pathetic.

Chihuahuas are know for being a yappy sort except they have no bite. Haney is 100% this

Bro, it takes 2 to tango....if he wants to fight them& they don't want to fight him, what should he do...IMO Ryan never wanted that fight, teo seems like he wants to fight, but his team dont want him near Haney, so I ask again, what should haney do.
in back & forth trash talks between Haney & these fighters, it easy to see that they say alot of things apart from "let's fight"

Ok.......you mention the fact that Haney has 25fights with nobodies & you're right, but the question is can you mention one noteworthy fight that was available and Haney passed up on it, cause that's the only way we can agree it's 100% on him

I do agree with your sentiments. It does take two to tango and no one will ever know the real answers. Ryan could tell his promoter make the fight as could Teo and as could Haney. Any of the three could call their promoters to the table and all three could say whatever it takes I don’t care money or otherwise make the fight.

I just saw the weigh in. I was surprised as hell to see Linares looked as perfect as Haney. No sunk-in eyes or dehydration SKELETON look. I CAN SEE LINARES HAS BEEN TRAINING WAY LONGER THAN 8 weeks.
Haney better box. Forget brawling.
