    Bradley telling it how it is. Keyshawn should be working his way to earning bigger pay days instead of expecting to be just given to him.

    We've seen two slick defensive fighters duke it out plenty of times, it just doesn't happen as often.

    Shakur vs Haney could very well stink out the joint but it's still a fight that should happen for the fans to see the elite fighters going at it. Boxing still needs to see the best fighting the best even if it means a likelihood of putting the fans to sleep. Someone's 0 will have to go at some point.

    Quite sure Shakur would agree to fight Haney at 135, like Loma did. That will never happen, though, and Stevenson would get zero credit if it somehow did.

    Even 140 won't happen since Haney seems to reject even the catch weight at 143 or 144 that Stevenson proposes.

    Stevenson has never fought at 147, and has actually said he's looking to get back down to 135 since that's the weight he's most comfortable at. Can't see it as a duck that he won't face Haney in a weight class he's not looking to compete in.

    Davies is another matter. The 5 mil net that he damanded is pure fantasy and he must know that.

    Maybe, I mean Haney's 0 has already gone in the eyes of many, hasn't it? I know the Garcia fight was an NC, but he was walking into left hooks all night, and he should have lost to Lomachenko as well; he's got the 0 more on paper rather than from an angle of invincibility as Mayweather did.

    I commend Haney for fighting actual challenges and not pricing himself out like Keyshawn, to be honest, he also goes on the road, like he did when he went to Australia to win the belts. Do you think there's anyone Shakur loses his zero to? I don't think there is now that he has signed with Zuffa. He beats Haney pretty easily, I think, in an extremely dull fight. I'd like to see him in there with Azim, Dalton Smith, and Gary Russell, who will actually go at him from round 1 and not be afraid to throw caution to the wind and try and take his head off, but I don't think any of them pose a serious threat.

    Doubtful given how reluctant he has been about fighting him at 147 and his comments on size. Shakur a lot bigger than Loma but Haney still a lot bigger than him and he sure as hell wouldn't have fought him in his country with a home ref and 3 homes judges if Haney was a foreigner like Loma did

    They ain't scared of Haney, I think they both smoke him but they are both delusional clowns who overestimate their value.

    Davis is a fraud. He even defrauded himself.


    Clown.
