After Fury vs Usyk and Beterbiev vs Bivol this is one of the best fights to be made in boxing right now. I want to see it and I hope they do it within a year or two (that's a pipe dream I know, but there's always hope). I just can't see Haney winning though. Shakur is more complete. The only hope for Haney is that going up against Loma was good preparation and will show him what he needs to do to get to the next level.
Shakur is just a tier above in terms of speed/reflexes. Not only that, i think he has a better ring IQ and self belief. I can see Shakur dominating Haney.
Shakur is the best of all those guys. He and Boots are the most talented younger American fighters right now I think.
Haney is most likely moving up or should do. Shakur v Tank would be great but unlikely, if Tank losses then he's lost the hype wagon. Shakur is P4P number 1 in the future. Not many people are going to want to step up. Maybe Garcia for a big fight on his way down. Shakur's only just moved up to 135 but I'm pretty sure he cleans out 140.
I pick Shakur, but it's a tough fight for him. It'll be a chess match with both guys winning their fair share of rounds. Shakur via MD.
Cruz is arguably the most skilled fighter in the game P4P. It is as if Floyd, Lara, and Pernell had a baby.
I'm suspicious of Boots. Not to say he's bad or anything, and I'm rooting for him, but it feels like they are hiding some flaw in him that a really top opponent could expose. I suspect Andy Cruz is in the pros to cash out. He already had his career. Shakur will get revenge for baby Keyshawn Davis.
Yeah would love to watch him in there with a killer in the division. Difficult to call much in WW though while no one seems to want to face each other. Ortiz v Stanionis is the biggest fight made there in a while. Looking forward to that one.
