    Even if Cruz didn’t say that, it doesn’t take a genius to see that Tanks hand was injured and he primarily relied on his right hand for the vast majority of the fight.
    Yet he keeps running away from Cruz for the Rematch. All talk and no show.

Cruz would be there all night and would get to him. Plus Haney has been known to do the chicken dance, his chin is not all that.
      I don't know but Haney has shown more punching power in his last fight and has been sitting down more on his punches in this Division since it seems cutting weight and rehydrating hasn't been a factor for him like it was at 135lbs. Haney's Defense has improved since doing the "chicken dance" plus how much of that was also cutting weight and rehydrating who knows.

        Haney has only shown some power in the Prograis fight but let’s face it, prograis was a sitting duck. And it’s not like he got the KO.

          Still not relevant to the point that I was making, which was addressing the allegation that it was a lame excuse injury. It was clearly a legit injury. As far as running away from matches, I do recall Cris flat out declining a Shakur match. But that’s neither here nor there as well.

            Cruz then declined a Ryan Garcia fight as well, he must be scared of Ryan per your logic.

            Why would Cruz decline a feather fister runner? He already face Tank Davis with 2 week notice, let alone a silver Medalist olympic runner.

              Ryan had previously declined Cruz actually. Cruz declined shakur because his team knew that he’d get easily outboxed. Sorry but the best Mexican fighters cantu outbox skilled elite level boxers and Cruz isn’t even that good. Shakur would blank him 12-0 and then back to the line Cruz goes. He was outboxed by a one handed tanke who isn’t nearly as skilled as shakur.

                Did you mean Mexicans "can't out pusssy pusssy boxers"

                Benavidez Just annihilated one of you're precious "boxers"

                Canelo played with your "boxer" jermell like food.

                  I said Mexicans, not Americans with half Mexican descent. Canelo was schooled easily by Floyd. Chavez was schooled easily by Whitaker, Marquez was schooled by mayweather and Bradley. Barrera got washed by junior jones. Morales got schooled by Zahir Raheem. Cruz isn’t anywhere near as good as those other Mexicans I mentioned and would stand 0 chance vs shakur. Why else do you think he ducked the fight?
                  and speaking of pusssy. There isn’t a bigger one in the sport than canelo right now.

                    Beat me to it, perfect assessment, eventually that chin will be able to take so much, he'll get hit with a monster shot do the stanky leg, go down, and it'll be over for him.

                    We've all seen this movie before so know the ending, but its fun to watch up until the end so I will.

                      He would beat him in a race, Shakur can't even break a pinata. No one is ducking Shakur, every knows he is a fuffy. No one was to run around for 12 rounds chasing his ass.
