    Haney needs to come in at 150lbs at 135 to use his wrestling moves.

        Shakur ghouls Haney

          I’m a big Haney critic, but I don’t like exaggerating. That’s when you become a sh/tposting hater. So unless there’s proof that Haney comes in at 155+, i’m going to keep my guess of 150lbs.

          If it’s just something that is being guessed by his haters, and parroted, then it has no merit.

          Not saying he doesn’t come in 155+, just saying I can’t argue for something I don’t actually know.

            After this fight, its pretty much back to being seen as regular. Haney will make some very good money fighting Tank and Shakur, but he will lose both fights. He doesn't have enough power to keep Tank at bay for 12 rounds, and Stevenson is a better boxer than Devin. When he goes up, the only guys with a name that he could beat are Ryan and Teo. Matias, Prograis, and Taylor are too strong with just as much skills. He's in a tight spot, but at least before he comes back to earth, he will stack plenty of bread.

              Best we can hope for is Shakur or Tank ripping those belts off him. I’m rooting for Loma but he’s too tiny to get the job done on the pillow fisted weight bully.

                You've got it right, Haney want's the weight advantage, because he doesn't have the natural power to get Tank's respect in the ring.
                Stevenson is the better boxer between them, but that would be a hell of a fight to watch, I would definitely love to see that fight happen.
                Nothing intrigues him at 140, what he really is saying I've got to be really care in that weight class, it is the most stacked division in boxing right now.
                More importantly I won't have the height, weight, and reach advantage's that I currently enjoy now in the 135 weight division.

                  There's no "hating" on this one. A poster recently posted a video of a conversation/argument between Sulaiman and Bill Haney where Sulaiman confirmed Haney gained 24lbs for his fight with Gamboa.

                    How tf does no one at 140 intrigue him? Not what you want to hear from a young fighter.
