    Devin Haney is moving up to 140 with the opportunity to come back down and face winner of Stevenson vs Lomachenko, should Devin come back to 35 for the winner?

    Why wouldnt loma go get paid vs monster in a fight at his natty weight? how can anybody think shakur isnt too big for loma but then say crawford is to small for canelo while calling for benny canelo. This **** is insane. If im loma i fight monster at 126.

    More importantly, why would Lomachenko accept another fight in which he has virtually no chance of earning a decision?

    Any prospective fight with Shakur is likely to be highly competitive, and if it goes to the cards, does anyone believe he'll get the nod over a young standout TR is busily grooming as it's next superstar?

    haney was better of taking on teo first then going for prograis. I think after watching prograis last fight this is a cherry pick. It could go wrong though. I like prograis to adjust but nothing strategical is coming from his corner. Prograis gonna have to watch tape on devin and devise his own plan. His corner is straight clowns. Didnt once tell him to cutoff or press that last fighter. Told him to continue counter punching. A simp coulda seen and told him to quit following him around.

    stevenson beats his ass. Trust me, none of these guys at 135 want anything to do with shakur. Loma and frank martin will prob fight anybody. Kambosis will prob fight him. teo, rolly, ryan, devin.......forget it. They know who is better between them. Thats why teo, ryan, and hhaney jumped ship so fast.
