    I'd be surprised if this fight gets made tho. I mean if Tank's team wanted to make this fight the time to make it was before Regis when Devin had all the 135 belts. I get Tank might not want all the belts, but Devin was still the #1 guy & Tank could not pay the 3% & lose them all the day after the fight.

      Devin Haney will have trouble getting any 135-140lb fighters unless they also rehydrate to 165+ or more. He’s better off calling out fighters like Crawford, Spence, Jermell. They’re closer to his size.

        This wasn’t a knock on you or your post , I’m actually asking you if you’d let a Haney fight in a tournament ( super six ) knowing what we know now
        If a fighter can make weight properly. I don't see the problem. I don't know when the issue of people complaining about fighters being able to make weight started. If anything my biggest issue is when fighters can't make weight! Or when they throw some bs catchweight or rehydration clause into the fight.

        As for Haney, if he wants to move up and fight at 160 or 168, that's his choice. His legacy, as it currently stands, sh.its all over everything Davis has accomplished so far.

              He won't have issues imo. He has a belt and there's some good match ups at 140 for him. If he moves to 47, maybe Boots can finally make a fight instead of waiting around as he's been. At 54, he gets murked by Bud, Mall, Tszyu and maybe even Errl

                Again, Tank would fight Haney only at 135 and with rehydration clause.

                And he is right, actually. If haney wants to rehydrate to 165, than let him fight 154 guys, where he belongs.

                  Didn't Rolly & Ryan go to the top of the highest mountain & scream for Tank? Who didn't want to see those fights?

                    Not me and many other boxing fans. Social media sold the Garcia fight. N I'm not too sure but can pretty much guarantee about 95% of this forum never spoke a word about Rolly b4 he became Davis opp

                      Does tank want to fight again though? He made what 30 or 40 million for that Garcia fight, does he want to get back in there and do the work..hope as a fan he does. Hard to see him taking that Haney fight with the massive weight difference, I doubt Devin will bow to his demands. Pray we can see tank, Devin, Teo, Mattias, Shakur, Zepeda, Cruz too, all mix it up together in the next 2 years.
