    Devin Haney vs Tank Davis now needs to happen.

    Davis should really be calling for this fight.

      Maybe Kambosos dared to be great by fighting Haney when he didn't have to, when he could have fought some low-key fight or a Mando instead of a dangerous fight like Haney. Maybe it was Kambosos who dared to be great, not Haney.

        Hope tank ices him.
        Kambosos Junior could of had a easier fight for his first defense.

        I don't recall many champions, after winning titles then jumping straight back in to a mega fight.

        There is probably a few of late, but not many.

        They both dared to be great, but Kambosos Junior attitude opened the doors.

          Yes we should always give respect to fighters who are willing to go out of their comfort zone to chase greatness. Win or lose they deserve respect. Haney deserves a lot of respect even though he isn't the most exciting fighter. Also Kambosos deserves respect too. He could have defended his titles against a much easier opponent after his tough win against teofimo but he chose the young hungry lion from Las Vegas United States of America. Respect to everyone. To boxers and non boxers. Everyone deserves respect!!!!

            You mean would Teo have fought him. I highly doubt that.

            None of the other top guys seemed willing to fight Haney. Now they have to if they really want the belts.

            It’s fine if people think Haney is boring ( last night out a couple my boys to sleep lol) or if you don’t like him.

            But let’s stop the BS- Haney is too fast and had the reach that all the LW’s are going to avoid. That is why they didn’t fight him and why Kambosos team made an offer that they figured would be rejected.

              Kambosos also dared to be great, first he took the titles from Lopez, than he fought Haney in next fight.

                well done to haney, thats super stuff going all that way and taking the titles, plus to kambo too, he could have easily i presume taken a few easier fights and milked the belts and he too came all the way around the world to take the belts himself from teo

                rematches u never know 100%, could be same again or kambo could do better

                  I feel Tank will find the way to duck. Haney. Tank only fights for WBA regular belts.

                    Haney has a rematch clause he has to honor and Bob Arum owns him for the considerable future.

                    There will be nothing but Top Rank in-house fights next.
