    Josh Taylor? I don't know, I'm not sold yet either way.
    Nah, I think Haney's jab is too long, too fast, too sharp. IMO he's got all the tools, the only thing I don't know about is his chin, a fight with Lopez I assume would answer those questions one way or another.

      But that's my point. Jab but no defense. If he eats a flush counter uppercut I don't think Mr. Haney takes it well at all.

        Brutal. Not a low blow but it has to hurt like a nut shot.

          Broner never beat anyone remotely close to the name loma is at 135.. not even close.

          As mentioned earlier teo has showed more maturity than broner has NOW at 23 years old. He felt he had mental problems, got help, and has had 2 tremendous wins.

          Absolutely incomparable.

          Broner idolized floyd for the flash, there was no substance to his circus. it seems lopez is more so using his business model and seems to have the same fire.

            That's fair but honestly I still have just as many questions about Lopez defense. When Loma finally found his range he was landing a lot, and Nakatani showed Lopez is there to be hit with straight right hands and Haney's will be coming a lot faster and sharper than Nakatani's were. It would be great fight unfortunately for that reason I don't see it happening any time soon.

              Depends. NSB says that no rematch is warranted despite Teo saying "everybody" wants it and Arum pushing for it - but if Teo continues to duck a rematch, he may go after Haney.

              Of course, if Haney gets upset by Gamboa (unlikely), Teo's back will be against the wall.

              It's an exciting time for 135.
