    Top guys at 147 would beat him to a pulp. He has no power at all to earn nobody's respect at 147. Not only are the top 147 guys equally or more skilled than Hanney, but they will also be able to just walk him down like a hot knife cuts butter.

    I would like to watch him trying though. Maybe I'm wrong, who knows?

    Haney can run to WW, and for what? Get whooped up by Bud? lol Haney can't draw bulbs to a Christmas tree.

    Haney should be fighting at 154. I don't normally call fighters weight bully's but he is one. He walks around at 160+. He looked two divisions bigger than Prograis.

    Haney is a 147 lb fighter right now IMO. As for power, Prograis seemed to respect Haneys power even since he was floored early on

    Nothing compared to Bud`s power and Spence is far too big.

    I'd prefer to see him stick around 140lbs for a few fights and then move up.

    Theres big fights there.

    You don't believe that innes is high risk low reward and arguably the most skilled power for power fighter in the business

    Let him clean out 140 before he moves to 147, I don't see anyone at that weight who can beat him and in a couple of years he can naturally move into the welters.

    Haney gives Bud a tougher fight than Spence. At least Haney has world class footspeed and jab. Spence was a flat footed, sitting duck

    Ive a feeling Hearn is looking to sign Ennis.

    If he gets him, it could be a big fight in the next 18 months

    Just to add that Errol Spence Jr would also beat Haney.

    Haney may be a safety first guy but think his power was better at 140 than 135.

    @ 135 he couldn't dent a washed up Linares, and he was landing at will punches with bad intentions lol
    @ 140 he was consistently buckling Prograis who I thought had a very decent chin

    Violate woah & more so Crawford would do that to Ennis right now,

    I would like that fight to be made next just so that many hovering around this false believe can finally hush once more.
