    Comments Thread For: Devin Haney: Money Fights With Shakur, Tank Probably Only Fights I Would Stay At 135 For

    LAS VEGAS - Devin Haney has plenty of financial incentive to squeeze down to the lightweight limit one more time if he beats Vasiliy Lomachenko on Saturday night at MGM Grand Garden Arena. Haney's weight cut for their 12-round, 135-pound championship match has been more tolerable than usual because he

      I keep thinking that Haney, a growing young boxer, might be drained here. In that case, the odds aren't gonna be as one sided as they are.

        I guess you are correct. If he loses to Loma tonight he might move up immediately for Tank would prefer to fight Loma, in that case fighting Haney becomes pointless.

          He gets his ass whupped if he fights Shakur Stevenson. However, I would favor him to defeat Gervonta Davs however; Because it's a much better style match up for him. Both fighters throw very few punches.

          They are both counter punchers. If Tank decides to fight on the outside like he did against Ryan Garcia then he is going to stay out there because Haney will never allow him to fight on the inside.

          Davis would have to take a lot of risks in order to get inside against Haney; Which will not be easy due to Gervonta's short arms and short stature.

            Haney will be an easy fight for Tank for he won't respect his power. So, he is gonna fight him like those taller fighter without big pops, he will take Haney's punches and walk right inside to deliver his devastating goods. Tank is a skillful fighter whose craft is underrated by many. If that fight ever happens, depending on whether he beats Loma tonight which won't be an easy task as many believe it's going to be, I can fancy Tank knocking him out.

              Neither fights really sell.. so I wouldn’t qualify either as “money” fights…

              Tank vs Haney does what, maybe 300k being optimistic?

              Haney vs Shakur does maybe 200k being optimistic??

                  I understand he wants the bag, but I think win, lose, or draw, he should go to 140! Health > Wealth!

                    Linares stung him good, now imagine when Tank hits him! I see it as a miniature version of Ali vs. Frazier I @ MSG!
