    Yeah definitely, he looked poor against Gamboa also but he at least put him down 3 times and eventually stopped him. It’s clear Davis was well out of shape for that fight too. He could definitely work on his professionalism if he wants to fulfil his potential.

    He’s also proven his quality by destroying guys like Pedraza and Santa Cruz. Haney is yet to prove anything like that. What’s his best win? Gamboa? Burgos?
    The thing I don't understand is: Hearn was willing to pay Davis $5 mil for Farmer. Farmer is tier two. Why doesn't he have the same energy for Haney?

    Haney is really not much. He's also boring to watch fighting 2nd tier comp. They should step him up.

      Good point tbf. Farmer can’t draw at all too. I think they must feel they can probably make some decent money having Haney beat these C/D level guys he’s been beating. There seems to be considerable hype around him, whereas nobody really cared about Farmer.

      Hearn should have made Haney-Campbell. They’re both his fighters and it’s a great step up fight. I’m surprised he let Oscar and Garcia get in there first.

          Nobody fears that guy. He's hiding behind Arum and franchise BS. Why go to Australia when you have Gervonta Davis right here? Who really thinks that Aussie bum would pay them more than Davis?

          Lopez is scared shitless of Davis, believe it. He remembers flashes of their sparring. I don't buy the crap Arum is selling.

            Shakur is gonna be top fighter, I wanna see him fight Valdez or Berchelt next year.
            Yet nobody wants to take that hype job's belt

              It’s hard to argue Loma f-cks him up when Loma chose not to fight him.

              Just sayin.....

                Cause its worthless. He got it via email.

                Everybody knows who the man is at 135. Haney wants to get paid big money to fight these guys, nobody is gonna pay a guy big money who’s unproven and has fought nobody.

                  Teo is the one asking for $10 million not Haney. Show me anywhere where Haney had demanded any type of purse to fight any of these guys

                    Loma unified with Teofimo instead. You saying he should have fought Haney instead?

                    That’s like saying Fury should fight interim champ Povetkin instead of AJ.

                      Teo just beat Loma and became undisputed champion. He’s entitled to be rewarded.

                      Haney has just beaten a 40 yr old shot Gamboa. There’s no comparison.
