Comments Thread For: Devin Haney: "Look At Shakur's Resume, Look At My Resume, If Anybody's Ducking It's Him"

[Califire209]

While I agree that Haney is not interested in taking on the younger lions, this notion that all these other guys are scared of Stevenson is non-sense. Bob offered Pitbull, Zepeda and Loma sh** offers, amongst other people as well. That's what Bob does, Did it with Crawford, Loma himself to a point, Beterbiev, Fury, Haney as well when he was with TR. That's what Bob does, protect his fighters, Bobby is not eager for Stevenson to get in with the big dogs, and by no means I'm I saying Stevenson himself is scared or wouldn't win, what I'm saying is that Bobby ties fighters hands, I mean look at Crawford when he was with TR, Bobby wasted his time, once he got out, he truly opened his potential.

Haney isThe Youngest Lion and Most accomplished Lion. Haney is willing to Fight the Best & has proved it time after time. Shakur all Cap, didnt Dare to be Great

Fair enough, but if it was true the Haney takes on the best and when I say the best, and I mean fighting someone in their prime, not once they get old. He would of faced the true 140 champ in Lopez who is young, instead of a guy is 34 on the tail end of his career who is coming off a win where he looked like absolute sh** with a guy who boxes and moves around like Haney does..... So..... That said I bet you that Regis even in his old age will give Haney problems just like old man Loma, why? Because Haney is way overrated.

[ShoulderRoll]

That would have been the move but Stevenson's arrogance prevented him from taking the risk.

And then Shakur turns right around and asks Frank Martin to take 25%. For a fight with no belts on the line.

[Bullrider]

Don't know why this guy keeps pushing this deception of his. We all know he's not going back to 135 and he's just using the belts as bargaining chips. He himself says he's having a hard time making it at 140 in a recent article, let alone 135.

To top it all off, he and his fans say they offered Stevenson $8 million. This sport a joke. Everybody lies

Bobby Created Crawford. Everyone in PBC hidding behind Al Haymon doesn't make Bob Responsible. You will say Bob is protecting Shakur from Tank, you must be delusional.

Where are the offer from Pitbull, Zepeda, or anyone to fight Shakur. Where is the Tank offer?
Bob is not the only one who can make offers, you have Haymond, De La Hoya, and Hearns, haven't head shiat.

Shakur should have taken the 25% offer for the chance to become undisputed lightweight champion of the world.

For the millionth time, yes, yes, and yes.

Forget that 25% was not enough yadayadayada...had he taken ****ty money just once and became the undisputed lightweight champ, by now he would've had multiple fights against bigger/better names that wants his prize (the belts) that would've more than made up for the low price from Haney.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

I suspect Haney has a very low IQ.

[Elheath]

Exactly...what did he think he had to offer to Frank that made him so willing to fight for cheapness?
Had no belts, and not even an eliminator that promised him a chance for belt next...literally, high risk minimal reward.

I don't even like Haney personally and talent wise I rate Shakur above Haney, but lucky timing and crummy judging aside atleast he actually took the opportunity to get the belts in the ring when given the chance. Shakur was given the same chance, but denied it due to wanting money over legacy.

Haney ducked. Just because one guy is “champ” or the “A-side” doesn’t mean you can’t negotiate. Stevenson tried his hand on a better percentage through the sanctioning body he’s mandatory for and Haney dipped. Haney walked, not Shakur. Can’t even remember if Haney waited for the WBC to reach a decision. Now Shakur is fighting for Haney’s belt. It’s obvious Haney ducked.

Haney is an oppurtinist looking for weak links. He’s not about that life. Shakur really believes he’d beat anyone and will fight anyone, he’s not looking for favorable styles and circumstances.

Actually. If I remember right Haney was already negotiating Prograis. He threw Shakur a sht offer for the fans to eat up.

[Jab jab boom]

It’s pretty clear that Haney doesn’t truly want to fight Shakur and it’s even more obvious that the man who Yanet was fortunate enough to get the W against in his last fight wants even less to do with Shakur.
