Comments Thread For: Kambosos: If I Didn't Give Haney His Shot, He Wouldn't Have Had His Moment Now

I do agree with your statement that Kambosos isn't a Duran, or a Leonard, so actually this was bad example to reference in comparison.
George Kambosos has some decent boxing skills, and will to win but I don't see him winning another title against the top guys in his division. AlthoughI do respect your respectful point of view on their fight, which I actually did enjoy watching.

There's a reason GBP didn't want Ryan Garcia to fight Haney, when there ZERO obstacles in the way! Haney is very talented, but not very exciting! That was a lose-lose for GBP! I think Haney beats Kambo again, and then we get Haney vs. Lomachenko, or Haney vs. Shakur Stevenson!

Totally agree. I really want to see Haney fight Loma first, then Stevenson second. But unfortunately we'll have to endure the process of the rematch. It makes me wonder if Haney will ditch the belts for 140 as he probably won't be up for that rematch. But it'd be at the cost of some other great fights. Loma won't follow to 140, and that's the fight at 135 that will give him true credit, as he's still perceived by many as the best in the division. I'd like to see Arum, have a word with DiBella and offer step aside and give Kambosos a fight, so that he can get back in the win column, and we can get Haney v Loma. With Kambosos to get the winner. But Arums tight, and dare I say it, this would be a good time to have a Hearn type, who'd throw some money at a step aside for Devin. Bob won't. I've a feeling Haney will step up, citing the weight cut becoming too difficult, and pointing out that it didn't do Teo any favours, and he doesn't want the same to happen to him. Time will tell.

More of the same.
A pure boxer will usually > the guy who depends on aggression.
Especially if the aggressor isn't known for KOs.

I never used to pay much attention to the Light Weight Division.

It was leading up to the Kambosos Junior vs TeoFimo Lopez fight? Did I start paying more attention to the division. Instead of just now and again watching Lomachenko's fights.

I think the Light Weight Division is one of the best divisions in boxing right now. It is full of great match ups, rivalries and characters.

The Heavyweight Division is still the number 1 division for me etc.

Yeah, I wouldn't hold my breath on Arum giving step aside money! It's a f'd up deal for Haney, but he's UNDISPUTED, so I guess it's worth it?

Haney is nothing special either.

Haney is nothing special either.

Remember this when Loma starts to look ordinary against Haney. Shakur is 130 correct so why are people mentioning him? Especially when Shakur has stated he wants undisputed at 130.

[Boricua181]

Haney is nothing special either.

Well now that he has all the titles to defend, we will soon find out so lets see what 2023 reveals about his skills.
I thought that he should have thrown more combination's, and been more aggressive in his fight with Kambosos.
But Kambosos was playing safe himself during their fight, it would've made for a more exciting fight.

[Oregonian]

Fck these rematch clauses. I wanted Kambosos to win but he didn't so let Haney face someone else and get back in the line

Truer words have never been spoken!!!

I thought Kamboso would win and now he’s turning into Teo with his ****** rants.
He forgets now that If Teo didn’t give him a shot, he wouldn’t have been champion.
