    Haney is good but I doubt anybody is dcking him because btw 135 elite, he's the more featherfisted of the lot.

    Because of his arm length and skills he's still a tough fight, don't get me wrong...

    Haney most likely can brings you at worst a pot shotting decision type of loss.

    I think most 135 fighters would rather face Haney than Tank and his highlights KOs.

    Even lil Loma would have stopped Gamboa at this point.

    Teo is just not buying into WBC bullshts.

    WBC wise, he's the champ because he beat the guy who beat the guy (Loma who beat Campbell)

      No, but I think Top Rank is. They're not going to keep bringing up Haney as much as they do if they don't see a risk there. Teo's talk can get ridiculous but he really has earned his position as #1 in the division. People seem to have forgotten that quick. My only issue is that if Lopez doesn't want to bother with Haney, Tank or give Loma a rematch then why not just move on to 140 already? Nobody cares about Kambosos.

        lopez just fought 2 top 3 guys in a row. haney has never faced a top 10 guy. the fact that people are buying into this crazy narrative shows that its working. well done to team haney. thats how you promote yourself!

            How can you duck a guy that don't even live in your city? Devin needs do more than decision a older guy with a faulty wheel if he's trying to make it in Teofimo Town.

            That said he could easily get there or Teo could decide to fight him next, but at this point I don't even think Devin has showed if he's good enough vs a quality enough guy to even hint he's on Teo or Tank's level. Both Devin & Ryan got things to prove & Ryan is gonna prove himself after New Years so Devin needs to get too work cuz he's about to be the odd man out of the Four Prince's.

                  He has over 800K on Instagram. How many fighters can say that?

                      Maybe. Teo might be ducking Haney *heavy sarcasm*. Look none of these fighters want to fight each other. Someone has to lose, someone's career is gonna end or slowly die if the lose. I bet they both agreed not to fight each other until later in their career where they could bounce of a lose or where a lose won't affect the amount of money they can make in the future. Plus, how big of a pull is Haney vs Teofimo compared to how big of a pull that fight will be in 5 or 6 years when Haney "probably" beats Ryan Garcia and goes on to win more titles, and Teo goes and picks up straps at 140 and maybe even 147.
