    I'll throw Frank Martin into the mix. I think he's pretty elusive and composed, has decent pop, too. Only question is whether he can take Davis's punch.

    If Loma has anything left by the time of the fight then he can do it.

    Haney could maybe pull off a decision but I'm not so sure. To me Ryan and Rolly had some success against tank because they're big and hard-hitting. Devin is big yes, but he is a notoriously weak puncher. Davis won't fear anything that Devin has for him and will likely walk him down without fear. Diaz has success against Haney as a southpaw pressure fighter, I don't see why Davis wouldn't.

    Josh Taylor beats him i reckon. Though I wouldn't be surprised if he got caught and stopped.

    Shakur has the best chance of victory over him I think. Other than him I think Teo could beat him. I know everybody thinks he sucks nowadays, but he like Rolly and Ryan is a big strong kid. He also has tighter defense and better footwork than Ryan.

    If we rule out a KO and suppose it's a decision full of 10-9 rounds, you have to favor Haney.

    The question is can Davis (or rather, would Davis, over twelve) drop and/or stop Haney?

    ...not sure.

    Tank is not a super lightweight. I'm not sure why everyone is trying to put him in there with Prograis or Taylor. He's undersized at LW as is.

    Anybody who’s defensively responsible and can box a bit could take him. He’s not that good.

    They've got to also not have a glass chin or body in case anything gets past their D, though.

    There is no way Devin Haney is lasting 12 rounds against Tank. I refuse to believe that. Tank puts him to sleep.

    Tank vs Shakur, Loma and Haney are all close to 50/50 IMO. Good times ahead for the 135lb divisiion.

    I like Lomas odds as well as Shakurs. I also think Pit Bull beats him in a rematch. Not sure about Haney though.

    Stevenson and Loma for sure. I think Frank Martin has a chance to make it to 12 and if he does he wins a decision.

    I still think Loma can beat him if he's not too past it. Haney is 50/50. I think Shakur beats him - odds at 60/40.

    Exactly. They can't name any LW's so they have to resort to fighters much bigger than him.
