    At this point in time... Who has Haney beat to suggest he’d even be competitive with Loma?

    Haney has only showcased his skill set against C level guys and worse.
    This right here. How many times have we been let down by a guy who passed the “eye test”.

      I think physically and maybe mentally as well, he is less than he was a year ago. Over 400 fights, the training, the focus, moving up weight classes, employing his style, I believe has taken its toll.
      Much like Breadman commented, I think there's a chance he just retires. It appears he is on the decline. He's passed his peak. Father time is knocking.

      Can he still win ? Of course, he was that good. Younger, tough, bigger guys ? ..... not so sure ---
      I said it in another thread, he’s an old 32 and a guy like Hopkins was a “young” 40. Sone people understand the quote and some people think I’m talking out my azz.

        Well we are in agreement 100%. I think we sort of "saw him get old overnight" with the Teofimo match. And the longer he has to wait to fight Haney or someone like Haney, the less chance he has of winning, IMO.

          Agreed man... we need to see him tested.

            Almost never. Almost everyone who passed the eye test in recent memory and was promoted as a top prospect ends up winning a belt. Only one I can think of recently is Verdejo but he probably will get one eventually.

              Ever since the salido loss, loma has shown that he doesn't like being pressured, doesn't like rough tactics and hated being swarmed, and his "matrix angles" are predictable. An intelligent pressure fighter who knows how to cut off the ring will give him huge problems.
