    I’m going off the eye test but Haney looks a lot longer. Maybe I’m wrong…

      I think they are roughly the same height. both are just a bit taller than Lopez.

        - - If Loma was fighting Kambo in Oz, Heinie be fighting Natasha Jonas in England.

          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 would of fought a safe fight till he could get in with the top guys.

            Eddie Hearn is known for resurrecting the dead for his fighters. I wouldn't be surprised if Salido is dugged out from the grave. It's also possible Linares would get his rematch... I don't even understand why Haney opting for the Kambosos fight is such a huge deal as if he's giving everyone favors. He's getting the same money Lomachenko, who is the bigger star, was offered. George on paper is not even the risky fighter everyone wants to avoid. Everybody wants him from Tank to Cruz to Loma. People need to stop worrying about the rest of the stipulations. It's a one fight show. Kambosos wins the fight. Get it over with and we'll see who Haney fights next after the loss.

              Yeah, I don't think he would have had a mouth-watering option if the Kambosos fight never happened.

                The Loma fight getting cancelled and Haney getting his rightful title shot is the only good thing that come
                out of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
