    I don't see Tank wanting any piece of Haney if he beats Lomachenko. Shakur will likely bide his time and fight Haney in a few years.

    If Tank put a hydration clause on Garcia what do you think he will demand of Haney. I Don't think Haney will cripple himself for a chance to lose all 4 belts.

    Why not? And I ask that out of genuine curiosity.

    I think Tank might even stop Haney.

    His not beating Loma, and his not beating any top fighter at 140. So his hype will end and he will have same faith as Lopez. Maybe they will fight after Lopez loses to Taylor.

    Lomachenko should be his final fight at 135 regardless of the result. He should then move up to 140 and fight someone like Regis Prograis or Teofimo Lopez if he beats Josh Taylor.

    Too many unknown variables to predict.

    Stay at 135, fight Shakur then move up.

    What's the rush with everyone moving up so soon......

    I think the Tank and Stevenson fights are the way to go. Clear out the top guys of the division while undisputed. Nobody is defending their belts fighting that level of opposition. Loma, Tank and Stevenson. Where would he be ranked if he goes through those guys undefeated? But, beating Loma is a big ask.

    Depends on how he feels, really. But maybe Tank will be game to make a fight at 137 or something.
