    Both . Doubt he will be a star because I think Kambosos wrecks him. Definitely an email champ atm

    Haney is a great raw talent with some special skills but he has a few flaws and things to work on if he really wants to make it to the elite:
    - Needs to improve his style overall, we saw him in a couple of close fights on the cards because the judges didn't appreciate his style at all running away from his opponents
    - i want to see him committing more to his power punches, i think he has some decent power as we saw him knocking Antonio Morans head off with one single punch and Moran is a very tough and durable guy but he's not committing to those power punches very often so he looks like a guy who can't crack an egg which might be true or not, i still want to see him going more for his shots
    - chin is unfortunately a big fat questionmark at this point albeit i wouldn't overreact to the fact that he was hurt by Linares. Linares can hurt a lot of guys. People forgot he dropped Loma. Nevertheless i have a slight feeling that his style is mostly due to chin issues. He reminds me of Anthony Joshua somehow. Joshua hasn't a bad chin in general so he's not getting dropped often but he's getting rocked and buzzed quickly! Especially with those counter hooks in close range.

    I like Haney though. Since taking the Kambosos fight in Australia i start to like him even more. I hope he makes it. He's way more likeable than all the other guys at 135 (Tank, Garcia, Lopez etc.)

    He better be ready he will be with a Spartan from the hood of Sydney. Kambosos is a giant killer bayby.His mental next level.Kambosos wants this a war every second but i feel like Haney doesn't

    Prolly box and move. Like your typical slick American boxer. We'll see..Haney probably spoil a lot. He can't do that in Australia.
