After seing Pitbull Cruz couple weekends back I had it in my head that he would give Haney nightmares, probably even capable of beating him. I strongly doubt Haney would be able to keep someone like cruz at bay with his jab. Its Tough division.
Still unifying titles, he is a world champion at 140 so take a chance at the most lucrative fight in Teo who is prone to having hot and cold performances.
The problem with him moving up is that he is not a ****er as it is and these bigger dudes hit harder. He has talent but was overrated IMHO. Garcia exposed his flaws. Shyte happens!
You could have a technical boxer puncher in those divisions but they are very competitive. I mean most people in the world weigh around 130 to 160 meaning your dealing with a really rich talent pool to begin with.
He would have to be able to hit hard enough to make a puncher, or a pressure fighter, think twice. He would have to make his jab even better and he already has a really good job. And he could not make mistakes like mental lapses, forgetting to keep his hands up, etc.
I would say it's possible not probable. And yes Garcia definitely exposed his problem areas. Ironically the fact that Haney stuck with it might work against him. I'm thinking for example of when Joe calzighi did a number on left hook Lacey. Time will tell.
This dude was always overrated just like Stevenson, and Crawford. Crawford is the only one who has done better match making to spare his career. As you can see Crawford continues to avoid anyone who poses a threat, people like to bring up Spence and to that I say, Spence was and is the only name on Crawford resume but let's be honest, he waited for Spence to have an accident, need eye surgery, and by that time Spence had outgrown the division and was draining himself to make weight. That's not Crawford fault but he's very careful about taking on serious challenges.
Damn
You still haven't gotten over the way Crawford demolished Spence
Please Put some respect on Terrence Crawford's name Bro
Lol
ramadan just ended a couple of weeks ago, just blame allah for this one, couldnt train right & thats why u couldnt think right in the ring, actually blame bill for this one as well & switch onto a non fasting religion is the way to go
Wow
Why even mention putting the blame on Allah?
What does Haney's religion have to do with him taking a loss in the Ring?
I guess this is another one of Smash's intelligent boxing Post
Smh
