    Linares is available. I thought he was facing Garcia but I guess that was just talk.

        Guys like you have been projecting so damn hard. Let me let you in on something. The only guy here who is emotional is YOU.

        All im saying is that if you're claiming to be the boogeyman of a division maybe you should take on better fights.

        You really seem to take issue with that.

        Oh there's still next fight you cry! Against who? Can Haney even make 135 for his "next fight" and if he can't or will struggle too why is he fighting trash now?

        Too funny man. I can't believe you actually got your feelings hurt.
        I've only ever seen you post from an emotional place. Never a rational assessment of anything.

          I won't go so far as to say good. It's a stay busy fight really.

            Sad but true- this actually is Haney’s biggest test. This is what is wrong with boxing today: Haney is already the wbc champ yet he has only fought taxi drivers and pizza delivery guys. Now he’s a fighting a guy closer to 40 than 35 who hasn’t been competitive at the top level in years.

              Gamboa is a vet, yeah the ankle thing is an * but still.


              If it goes 12 rounds then that's not a good look.

                When they announced Linares vs Fortuna and Garcia vs Campbell I knew Haney was going to be in a shit fight. For 21 and coming off an injury there are far worse opponents. But where these guys are right is that Haney should be fighting better comp since he's a champion. I also didn't cry like these guys because it looked like the WBC was lining up his next two fights against the winners of Linares vs Fortuna and Garcia vs Campbell.

                  WBC agrees.

                    Apparently Loma said he wants Haney next?
