This content is protected No love for Haney. If he can't get the Kambosos fight he should just move up.
Who is he going to get at 140? It might be an even worse situation business-wise. There was a lot of excitement for Kambosos but if the disputed-undisputed belt cluster is going to be defensed against a non-contender I think they should be split.
You have Josh Taylor, Teofimo, Prograis, Ramirez, heck even Broner there. Plenty options there. It's not worth killing yourself making weight for a fight which may not happen this year IMO.
Taylor will leave LWW in March. It will only get worse for Haney. Lord pillowfists cannot add muscle if he stays at 135.
They've realised Haney doesn't draw fans. Problem is they've burned through $10 million before realising this. Hearn has messed up DAZN badly.
I understand if they prefer Kambosos/Garcia, but what if Lomachenko(ESPN fighter) gets to him first? Garcia needs time, and if Haney becomes undisputed and if they use their amateur rivalry correctly, Haney/Garcia for the undisputed could be huge.
Haney should move up right now. He is old enough to fight close to his natural weight. at least 140 or 147. Martin, Easter Jr, Zepeda - he could fight one of those guys next. It's embarrassing that he is still fighting super featherweights at LW. Kambosos should fight Loma, because he had most impressive latest fight and is ready to go to Australia.
Haney just fought Linares not long ago who fought at 140 stop with this nonsense. If Haney can make 135 he can stay there.
So he could bully small fighters again ? There are better fights at 140 and 147 for him, but "fans" like you don't want Haney there, I wonder why...
Why did Linares move back down from 140? To bully smaller fighters again??? You see how that works? 135 is a better division than 140, there are better fights for him there than 140. Why do you want him to move up? I wonder why?
