I thought Teofimo was going to be the favorite in this bout. But I guess, he's a coward; afraid to lose. This is the second time that he turned down an opportunity to face Haney. Teofimo is starting to come across as a man with a big mouth, but no action to back up the words...

Im with Teo. All money isnt good money. Haney can win ugly and has no shame about it. He'll stink as a stratagy. If Turki has Haney money, he can buy someone else. Its not like Haney is a treat for the eyes.

In his position, not smart to bash Sheik Moneybags

teo having visions of his sandor martin and ortiz outings where he could have even taken two L's if not for some nice judging for him maybe

haney may well be there for the taking after getting whacked by cheating garcia as well, it maybe the perfect time to fight him and for 11 mil!!!! LOL

turki should just wash his hands of this guy, timewaster

Im not sure Haney will win, but Teo isnt all that. What Im against is watching combat replaced by ritual. Points over blood and valor.

Same old **** from Hopez. More like duck over instead of the rake ovet

its not crazy, fighting Haney, an African American fighter, would have resulted in his behavior being placed under the microscope...it's not ideal, he would not have been able to sit there, in the presence of reporters, Haney's family, everyone, and justify this behavior, the fact that he is even being offered this money after that video, and then he turns it down...he is self destructing, he will never make money like this in his life.

Haney would beat him in ugly fashion. Plus he would come in probably at 160lb without a rehydration clause.

Teo, funny talking, looking little boy. Boots would absolutely obliterate lil Teo and Haney would ravage him before Teo Sr. throws a towel before round 9.
