Comments Thread For: Shane Mosley Convinced Devin Haney Does Not Want To Fight Shakur Stevenson

[Raggamuffin]

Haney has fought Kambosis, Linares and Loma. Shakur has fought Valdez. Haney can’t make 135 anymore. If Haney fights Prograis then I’m good with Haney. Those of you who think that Shakur washes Haney better not bet on that fight if it happens. If I were Haney I’d stay at 140. You can’t make 135 anymore kid. Not comfortably.

Errol Spence is only reason the fight happened. Had he not caved to Crawford's demands, both Bud and Haymon were just fine with walking away if contractual demands weren't met.

It would have been Bowe-Lewis all over again if not for Errol.

Why would Bud be ok with walking away from the Spence fight when he was chasing this man for five years and undisputed was the only reason he moved up to 147? That makes no damn sense.

why does haney get so much hate?

Simple fix. If Haney wants to prove he's not ducking Stevenson, the offer should be changed to: Stevenson gets 25% if he loses, 50% if he wins.

If Stevenson's as good as he says he should have taken the 25% and the belts in exchange for beating Haney up. Don't see what's wrong with paying the guy 75% for that.

Agree. I don't understand why Shakur is so about the money at this low level of the crazy high level he can be at one day. This doesn't bode well for him being in big fights when he's not making short money fights over money issues. Devin had to take a rematch clause fight in Australia vs an Aussie cat to get the belt so he got the **** end of the deal himself not long ago. Shakur can take the **** end of the deal for one fight, but instead he's gotten all uppity with Jamel, when Jamel was the belt holder, & now all uppity with Devin, when Devin had all the belts in his division.

To me Devin is doing what he's supposed to be doing despite me feeling like he's talent-wise no better than the 3rd best guy at 135. He fought George twice cuz he had to agree to the second fight to get the first fight. He fought Loma, a future HOFer. He tried to fight Shakur, the guy who's looking like this era's Floyd. And now he's gonna fight Regis for a 140 belt. Meanwhile, Tank, who I think is a bigger talent than Devin, is talking about fighting a rematch with Pitbull & Shakur, who I also think is a bigger talent than Devin, turned down a fight with the undisputed champ of the division to fight the overhyped Frank Martin. Like wtf is going on lol.

This is what I don't get either.

so Haney took the 25% offer, traveled to another country and had to do it for 2 fights, but Shakur(who has no leverage as a contender and has beat no one) thinks he deserves more. Does this make sense to you? Just remove the names "haney and Stevenson". Would this make sense for 2 guys that can't sell **** to flies and one of them trying to convince the world he deserves more than a 25% split just because he's better at typing on twitter?

Haney got 30%+ options. YDKSAB.
