    Who would have Haney fought next if the war didn't break out?

    Lomachenko vs Kambosos was set to be announced before the war broke out.

    Everyone knows how long it takes to wait for (a) fighter/s with (a) scheduled fight/s.
    3-4 months from presscon to fight night. Then another 2-4 months for the winner to get ready for the next.
    So it's a long wait. It's not an option for many fighters. It's not even guaranteed they'll get the fight.

    What exactly were Haney's options if the Kambosos fight didn't happen?

    He already agreed to all of Kambosos demands and signed a 3 fight deal with Top Rank. Haney has shown he is willing to fight anybody.

    He ain’t a spineless chump like Canelo who keeps avoiding Charlo and Benavidez like the plague,

      Providing the world didnt play out the way it did and Loma and Kambosos had fought I could see Hearn getting him a Maxi Hughes type fight to keep him in the ring but considering it worked the way it did I'm proud to see he is willing to do whatever to become undisputed. I believe he beats Kambosos honestly

        Maxi Hughes I reckon. Maybe they could have got him a Commey or Cruz type at best.

        Fair play to Haney though, I don’t like the kid, but he’s betting on himself, I respect that.

          Maxi Hughes was my guess too it's a solid fight that Haney should win and it wouldve kept him on Dazn for another fight and kept him busy. Like I said before I believe Haney can beat Kambosos.

            Yeah I actually favour him against Kambosos, just think it’s a matchup that stylistically favours Haney. I see Haney edging it 7-5’ish, whether he’ll get a decision in Australia is another matter though.

              Valid points made here my friend. I believe he wins a 7-5 type score but itll probably be more a 9-3 type fight. Haney is stylistically all wrong for Kambosos and likely gives him a true boxing lesson. As you said the cards probably wont show that kind of fight but that's how I see it playing out.

                His length is gonna be a big problem for Kambosos. It’s just a question of whether Haney can keep him off. Interesting matchup for sure.

                  There is no significant difference if the numbers are correct. Kambosos is taller, reach is similar 68 to 71 inches. Boxing measures reach in a ****** way, imo. Fingertip to fingertip when it should be fist to fist. Unless you're going to poke someone in the eye.
