Who should Haney fight if not Sandor Martin?

[Bullrider]

Maybe he can go back to Australia and fight Paro. Might be a big fight there.
He should face Martin though. He's the most proven, deserving contender in the division.

Sensible fight for Haney. Liam Paro looks small and Haney can rehydrate to middleweight just like he did with Prograis and Kambosos who look the same size as Paro. He can then whisper, "You're too small" in the faceoff. Except Paro might not be ready yet and needs a minimum of three months to feel ready for his next fight. A lot of things could come up in 3 months.

Keep the belt, fight the Mando and then cash out vs Tank. If not, probably a move up to 147.

They're on a balancing act. Haney is not a stable fighter and with a fragile chin. Any decent fighter can get a crack at that chin of his. Not hard to see them trying to figure what's next.

Do you think Sandor Martin "can crack that chin of his?"

I think Sandor Martin is a winnable fight for Haney. Martin is a low output fighter. Sensible come back fight for Haney compared to the others.

[Bullrider]

Haney would be silly to drop the belt. Haney isn’t a big draw and his stock has fallen recently with the loss to Garcia. He should defend against Martin, a fight I think he’ll win, then look to unify against Teofimo.

Why would he vacate to fight Catterall? Makes no sense at all.

I would agree with that. Martin is a low output fighter. It's a winnable fight for Haney.

If he doesn't want to fight Martin yet, he needs to unify. If he's not going to do that, move up or retire.

Fast Eddie is already working on making the Liam Paro vs Devin Haney in Brisbane. Don't know if Paro would be ready in 3 months time, minimum. They can always bribe Sandor Martin to keep him quiet. It's all up to Paro and his team. They are holding the aces.

Who do you think he would pick?

According to Hearn:

"The WBC belt is going to become vacant and Sandor Martin v. someone will take place," Hearn told video reporter Sean Zittel. "One-hundred percent, he’s not going to fight Sandor Martin. Who's going to pay for that?”

Hearn predicted that Martin (42-3, 15 KOs) "will want to fight for the world title. Unless Devin boxes that off quickly, you've got to take a tiny payday for that, and I don't think Devin's all about that."

Martin is a ruff fight for anybody.

[GhostofDempsey]

That one-sided ass whoopin’ he took from Ryan crashed his stock. Beggars can’t be choosers. Fight Martin, who is not a big puncher, and win the obligatory decision. Then unify with Teo. That’s pretty much it at 140.
