    Honestly I don’t see a lot of options for Haney. He should take this fight. All the big names don’t want anything to do with him cause his fight won’t sell. No one is paying for a Haney headline PPV. The only fight that could have sold was the Garcia rematch.

    He sure as hell ain’t getting that Turki money any more.

    This fight won't happen who will pay the money for it? There would be no world title on the line too it would be at 147.

    I don't think that Haney is the same since the Garcia beating. If Hitchins is aggressive like he was against Kambosos I can see him beating Haney.

    The other night was my first time watching Hitchins and he looked impressive to me. Maybe I need to watch other fights from him but from what I saw, he would beat Haney. His jab is elite. He’s a pretty good counter puncher. He mixes up his offense to the head and body. He seems to have some pop on his shots. Never seen Kambosos done up like that. He had Kambosos badly hurt early on. Looking at his record, I’m surprised he only has 8 knockouts. He has the tools to beat Haney.

    Kambosos is past his prime, had won 2 of his last 5 fights and it should be 1 of his last 5 because he clearly lost to Maxi Hughes, struggled badly in his previous and only outing at 140 vs a fellow Aussie who took the fight on six days notice after being plucked from the crowd and who had never beaten anyone above domestic level before and had been KO'd by a 0-2 fighter

    And 2 fights prior to losing to Hitchins Kambosos was completely dominated and knocked out by an old blown up 126 Loma


    And most importantly, Kambosos is a natural 135 pounder who was facing a massive very big framed 140 pounder in Hitchins who has a massive 74'' reach and is a natural 147 pounder bare minimum.

    It was difficult enough for Kambosos just to get past Hitchins 6'' reach advantage for goodness sake. It's much easier to keep your opponent at bay on the end of your jab when you're much bigger and longer than they are and you're naturally a couple of divisions bigger than they are.

    People glazing the hell out of Hitchins for doing that to that much smaller version of Kambosos? Really?
