Yes and stylistically Haney is more inclined than DLS to create his own openings, placing his left front foot inside a southpaw opponent's right, and busting down the door with jabs and elbow-checks to bait the counter and then counter that with his RH. Also more inclined to hit the body. Coming round here talmbout some styles make fights like IDKSAB.
Haney can’t crack an egg. Shakur was hesitant because of DLS’s devastating power. Haney will get shut out, it would be like Lara vs Trout.. bu bu Angulo almost knocked Lara out.
Okay, yeah, Edwin has a high KO %. Great, whatever. Twelve rounds of downloading data? At that point you can't call him "hesitant" any longer. Shakur is sha-kurred lil punk.
Shakur was hesitant to counter. He’d counter and outbox Devin all day. Now Tank is another story. Based off last fight gotta favor Tank now.
Haney > Tank > Shakur in overall h2h ability. In terms of power, Tank > Shakur > Haney. In terms of pure boxing skill, Haney > Shakur > Tank.
A motivated Teofimo Lopez is the toughest assignment in boxing 140 pounds and below. You just never know if he's going to pull a James Toney and put in a zero effort fight.
Two pillow fisted fairies going at it. That has to be the worst fantasy match up right now. Bar none. If this fight was happening in my backyard, I'd draw the curtains.
I would rather watch Haney vs. Stevenson fifty times in a row than ever watch Stevenson vs. DLS again.
Probably doesn't seem to be the case after what Ryan has done and if Haney will recover. The good thing for Haney is that Shakur doesn't have the power that can shake him up. I honestly wouldn't mind seeing Haney and Stevenson go at it in the future.
