    If Teofimo and Ryan fight.. You'd expect a battle of power/speed versus Skills/IQ..
    But where would you rank each man - amongst the top handful of names in Light/Super Lightweight?
    (Tank, Ryan, Teofimo, Shakur, Loma, Haney)

    It's a random one, but I'll do my rankings for Power and Skills. Let me know how you'd rank them all.

    POWER:
    1. Tank
    2. Ryan
    3. Teofimo
    4. Haney
    5. Loma
    6. Shakur

    SKILLS:
    1. Loma
    2. Shakur
    3. Tank
    4. Teofimo
    5. Haney
    6. Ryan

    Even though he literally weighed 20lbs more than Loma in the ring, and Loma is a blown up 126 who is tiny for the division, there's no way in hell Haney hits as hard as Loma

    At 135 Loma KO'd or stopped (all dropped too)

    Linares
    Kambosos
    Crolla
    Nakatani

    And badly hurt, dropped and came very or extremely close to stopping

    Pedraza
    Commey
    Campbell

    Hurt

    Haney
    Ortiz

    All the aforementioned were way or much bigger and heavier than him

    So he has either KO'd, stopped, dropped, badly hurt or hurt every 135 pounder he has fought sans Teofimo

    Haney is the biggest weight bully in boxing and he has never beaten anyone remotely close to his size

    At 135 he not only couldn't KO or legitimately stop any of the much smaller world champions or top contenders he fought he couldn't drop a single one of them. Hell, he couldn't even really hurt or wobble them

    He threw everything bar the kitchen sink for 12 rounds on old shot versions of Linares and Gamboa who he was much heavier than and he couldn't put a dent in them and both were known to be chinny way back in their primes against fighters their own size. They've been stopped a combined 10 times in their 14 losses and been floored dozens of times between them

    He couldn't put a dent in a much smaller Jojo

    He couldn't drop the much smaller Kambosos once in 24 rounds

    Obvious Loma KO'd a prime active much bigger Linares despite having suffered a very serious career-threatening shoulder injury in round 2

    And he KO'd a much bigger Kambosos too

    Haney has only registered 1 KD against a world champion in his career despite him being much bigger or way heavier than them all, including the 9lb lighter one he dropped (Rougarou)

    Loma has dropped 5 of the champs he fought at 135 alone

    Teofimo, Haney and Garcia have moved up to 140 but when they were at 135

    1. Teofimo
    2. Twink
    3. Garcia
    4. Loma
    5. Haney
    6. Shakur

    SKILLS:

    1. Loma
    2. Shakur
    3. Teofimo
    4. Twink
    5. Haney
    6. Ryan

    You can make a solid argument for Twink over Teofimo for power or even Ryan over them both. It's hard to tell and the top 3 could be in any order. But people forget how devastating a puncher Teofino was at 135. He had vicious one punch KO power in both hands not just one
