Shakur can't just jump the line People pay the sanctioning fees so they expect the rankings etc to be honoured as often as possible Zuffa will be dead in 5 years
??? The WBO is the org stripping Haney, not...the Ring??? Long live Turki, Dana, and ZUFFA! RID US ALL OF BOXING ORG CANCERS !!
Zuffa is going to clean up boxing. Dead in 5 years is/was PBC. They were just the boxing version of BLM with zero actual concern for fans or for helping fighters develop...that's why all their fighters were contenders, at best. Zuffa is...THE TAKEOVER
IDK if the Ring belt will last or go away or merge w Zuffa belt...IDK. But this thread is about WBO org stripping WBO belt from Haney. I am cheering on Zuffa to get rid of all these belts bc they are a joke. Keyshawn is not a better opponent than Shakur. I would like to see Keyshawn in some fights, for sure, but Haney v Shakur is a much better fight. The WBO is trying to play matchmaker which is an old and tired game.
There’s already sparring footage of Shakur vs Haney…. agreeing to stupid catchweights and stuff.. I’d like to see Manny go back to 140 and defend his IB0 140 belt against Shakur…
Haney has a longer reach, more battle tested, sticks and moves, pretty fast himself, and can make it ugly.
Power and explosive difference is going to be apparent Especially when Keyshawn Davis realizes that he can hurt Devin Haney and Devin Haney cant hurt him
Davis is inconsistent, consistently misses weight, and while he definitely has the tools to smash Haney to pieces, it's hard to say which version of him shows up; he's nowhere near as professional as Haney. I've constantly doubted Haney, but he turns up, is professional, and could definitely pot-shot and win rounds vs Davis. If the best version of both shows up at 147, I have Davis. I also hope Davis wins to avoid the horrendous possibility of a 12-round bout between Shakur and Devin.
Albright made it all 12 rounds and Ortiz didn’t get stopped until the end of the 12th. I think Haney will be fine
