    I just watched 1 1/2 rounds of the Shakur fight and turned it off, Shakur is scared of death from getting it , and his output is so low it's embarrassing.. dude actually thinks he is Mayweather Jr lool but Mayweather early in his career was good to watch this guy is a## to watch ...sorry I couldn't do it lol ..

    Haney is not boring. He just has no power. He lands clean blows but guys don't feel them. Why is he boring other than the power? He's pretty aggressive.

    Obviously Shakur struggles to crack an egg, but Haney has no hope of cracking an egg lol.

    So IMO yes it matters because Haney doesn't have the pop to stop Shakur either lol

    I think Shakur hits a little bit harder, probably hard enough for Haney to not just walk through any way.
    Haney is a safety first guy, usually he doesn't have to walk guys down becuase he just outclasses them.

    With Shakur, I think Haney has to be the aggressor and use his size. Shakur probably out boxes him from range IMO.
    I think Haney needs to hit and hold and and rough him up. Haney probably still doesnt have the power to do much though and gets out pointed.

    Styles make fights and regardless of peds Haney wasn't going to do much to King Ry.

    I still think Haney might have something for Tank though. Tank is just too economical with his out put and Haney might just out hussle him.

    Shakur is more boring by a distance. At least Haney tries to be aggressive and go for KOs. The Linares, Loma, Jojo, Prograis, and especially the Ryan fights were all pretty watchable. The Kambo fights were kinda dull and uneventful but they weren’t awful. At least the guys that Haney fights actually fight back and he doesn’t low blow the hell out of them.

    Both are boring as hell. Haney fights can be more entertaining because he is so fragile it was entertaining seeing Ryan beat the brakes off him, it was entertaining seeing the much smaller Loma light him up like an Xmas Tree and having him stumble all over the ring, It was entertaining seeing old Linares make him do the Macarena.
    Shakur is more boring because he is the better defensive fighter.

    That’s not hard to explain.. Loma is always p4p better than both.

    Haney is way more boring and it isnt even close. Take out the fights that he struggled in and Haney is way more boring.

    When Haney fought Kambosos he literally just did the same thing over and over again. Haney has no ability to change speeds or throw in combination.

    Shakur Stevenson has put on great performances that were exciting like Jamel Herring and Yoshino.

    Devin Haney has never dominated a rated opponent in an exciting way. I dont think hes even ever stopped a rated opponent and this includes a shot Gamboa

    Definitely Stevenson. Haney has that fragile mandible, and so can always potentially provide fans with great entertainment every time he tastes canvas!
