    Who would be the aggressor? Who would take the center ring? What would be their strategy?

    Haney just isn't that guy. He'd lose and then sue or go to an amusement park and have his body guards beat some random up to feel better.

    Could be a great battle of jabs and foot work. I feel like Shakur does more things well compared to Haney. I think think Haney hits slightly harder but does not consistently put power on his shots. I think Shakur eventually wins a 116-112 type of fight. I'm not sure how Haney responds to another defensive fighter who is more versatile

    P4P arguably the worst fight in the sport at the moment. Shakur is the much better technician; he'd shut him out like he shut Lopez out. There's nothing that Haney does that would trouble Shakur; I could see a wide points decision, 118-110, something like that.

    With both of them standing at the opposite ends of the ring throwing rocks at each other.

    Probably Shakur wide but I can also see Haney smothering Shakur ala Andre ward

    One for the purists...but even this matchup may test their loyalty to the sport.

    Shakur in a competitive, low output, hard to score UD

    Hey now, that sounds far too aggressive, someone could get hurt.

    I don't see Shakur shinning on Haney. Haney's boxing game is just as good as Shakur's and I can see where Haney comes out on top.
