    I would rather see those guys fight when they are a little more prime. Crawford vs Spence is much better now than it would have been when they were both 22. We probably won't see that either but hypothetically.

    I would hope to see them fight twice.

    Once in light weight & again down the road at jr welter or welter as they are both Big for the LW division.

    Promoters & fighters gotta be careful letting things marinate for too long or Ryan & Haney could both lose their respective “0’s”

    just look at both of their last fight vs Luke Campbell & vs Linares respectively.

    Both got hit clean & flush could have been a setback for both of them.

    nothing is guaranteed, might as well get to the Bag twice.

    winner to face Teófimo for undisputed.

    before he also moves up just like Tank.

    I don't hold nothing against Haney, He was magnificent and he will be better next time out. Yeah he was younger, bigger and faster but what he didn't have was wisdom and Linares had that going away. Linares was in prime shape and played the long game. It almost worked but Haney survived and now he knows that he must measure himself out through the entire fight. I think he understands how he must fight when he is a little winded. His punch resistance can be worked on and I think that his power will improve enough to keep a guy honest. Once he accomplishes that, he will be a hard man to beat and I am looking for big things from the youngster.

    The more I think about this fight the more I lean towards Garcia.

    Luke Campbell is a textbook fighter, similar to Devin Haney, difference is that Campbell's textbook boxing skills got him Olympic gold. Haney is still somewhat unproven.

    However, Haney is also an good textbook fighter, but I don't think he has Campbell power, or even Campbell skills. Haney may be a little more talented than Campbell as far as speed and reflexes but I don't think its enough to overcome Garcia's talent.

    Lopez should be next. Garcia too busy on Twitter as he the lighter version of Fury with his mental case.

    Lopez can fight on the inside so Lopez by brutal uppercut TKO

    I was impressed by Haney, he boxed masterfully for 9 and 3/4 rounds, got caught with a bomb and managed the rest of the fight! Say what you want about hugging, but what was he supposed to do, he was clearly rattled and did the right thing tying Linares up... If the ref doesn't stop him, fair play! Just like in soccer, play to the whistle.
