    Haney should move to 147 right now

    I was surprised how easily he beat a career 140 guy. I must give him a credit.

    Why losing time fighting guys like Teo Lopez or Matias at 140.

    He should go to 147, fight somebody like Stanionis or Thurman first, if he can win, than he should fight Ennis.

    Do you think he can beat Thurman? that's who they're going to fight next.

      If you were surprised, you overrated Prograis, a slow footed career 140 guy that's not a big 140 guy, Devin was drawn down to be a 135 guy he was always going to do well at 140, the only fights Id like to see Devin in now is Shakur and Tank and Teo, Id like them all to fight each other, he wouldn't be losing time he hasn't matured yet.

        I think Haney beats this old inactive Thurman.

          Shakur and Tank won`t fight him, Haney is too big.

            I disagree there are great fights with backstories for him in 140, and whatever belts he might win again in 140 will be from a champ, not a vacant no name, and he can go for 2x undisputed..anyways Teo and Ryan are better fights for him than whatever there is in 147 for now, he can collect meaningless belts but he showcased he's not the type to do that, no matter how much anyone hates him.

              Which fights are more dangerous for Keef ' I gotta get a big retirement' Thurman, not who can beat him at this point in his inactive career.

              Crawford - stopped
              Spence - stopped
              Benn(UK) - stopped
              Ennis - stopped
              Haney - 12 rounds
              Brook - win now but no one wants to see or pay for it.

              Who should he fight?

                If a recent ESPN article is anything to go by, that's possibly next.

                  147 might be a more natural weight class for him though, why struggle to make weight again? Shane Mosley skipped 140 completely back in the day.

                    What this this demand for fighters to just keep moving up. Its such contrived bs. Just stay in a division and clean it out if your so good.
