I think both fights are great for boxing. I'm just glad to have 2 pairs of elite fighters box within a month span

Haney quickly countered his argument admitting that perhaps he could have been involved in a more lucrative blockbuster event had it been a different dance partner than Lomachenko. “I wouldn't say this is the biggest fight I could have made at 135 pounds, but definitely the toughest. The guy with the credentials and the experience [is Lomachenko], for sure,” said Haney.

Therein lies the dilemma! Biggest vs. Toughest! Canelo has the dilemma, Benavidez or Bivol? Fury has the dilemma, Joshua or Usyk? Bigger is not always better!

Anything over 135 is a Super Lightweight fight so Haney's not wrong there. Tank-KingRy is the bigger fight in general though.

Both great fights at the end of the day

What have Tank Davis and Ryan Garcia done for them to be called "elite"?

Tank is a former SFW Champion, and he's 28-0 w/ 26 KOs. That's elite!

It's obviously more significant. It's for the world title. It's not necessarily more interesting or appealing, however.

Both are great fights, but one is for the undisputed lightweight championship so yeah more significant hands down.

Loma is past his prime and is being fed to Haney. Interest in Tank vs Garcia is far more important. The ratings will easily prove that. Shakur would beat Haney easy.

Haney misspelled 160.
