    Weren't those two your picks earlier in this thread?

    Both Teo and Loma took safer opponents to avoid fighting Haney. Both lost and now their careers are on drastically inferior paths because of their embarrassing losses. Why would you want to see Garcia fight next? That's a weird pick.

    They are still my picks, I am just calling it like it is.

    Those are not safe opponents by stretch of imagination , they were meant to showcase. It will be hard to do that against a slicker Haney. Kambosos beat a couple of very good fighters before Teo and Nakatani made a good account for himself against Teo and a game Verdejo.

    Kambosos have all the belts now, this is his money time. Garcia is Oscar main stable and popular so that will bring money. Loma is the same with Arum. He can also utilize DiBella connection and fight Tank who has been cherrypicking for awhile now and some following. Maybe he can bring one of them to Australia with his accolades .

    i like Haney but his chin is too vulnerable . I think he can outbox everyone buy heÂ’s susceptible to one hitter quitter.

    Yeah, Kamboses is a pretty inspirational guy. I like him, he's gutsy and smart. He outboxed the guy who outboxed the Matrix. Both Teo and Loma are not as good of boxers as Shakur and Haney and aren't going to out point them in a fight and their offense isn't sophisticated enough to catch them. And lets just be plain: they don't seem to have the savy to escape Tank.

    Ryan has trouble keeping his head in the game. He's doesn't seem the type that will go thru fighting a lot of guys to tough out being the best. He would be the third guy in a row that would avoid Haney. And Haney doesn't punch hard and gives the appearance he's beatable. Sobeit, if his concetration is there, its going to be very hard to catch him. Haney beats Linares in all 12 rounds if he didn't get sloppy and lose concentration; and none of the other guys can do that. These guys are young so they are going to make mistakes.

    Teo and Loma had no plans to fight the big guys at 135. Lopez talked a ton of trash even to heavy weights.

    I agree with you on Kambosos.

    Loma and Teo already fought the big guys at 135. There’s a reason they have all the alphabets that Kambosos took. It’s Haney who actually have to prove himself and from the looks of it, he is willing. Also Tank has been cherrypicking and They are milking him.

    No they didn't fight any of the big guys (Lightweight) outside of each other: Shakur, Haney, Tank, Ryan Garcia are the other big guys. Teo only fought Commey and Loma vs the loss to Kambosos. Loma only beat Pedraza and Linares vs the loss to Teo. Both Teo and Loma lost embarrassingly bad. Loma got severly outboxed by Teo arguably the least skilled of the big six. Then Teo gets severly outboxed by Kambosos who was definitely not in the top six.

    Tank is the biggest money maker in the bunch and has the biggest punch - He knocked out a 140 pound champion in a big way. His knock outs are the most brutal of the bunch. And the only ones more skilled than him are Shakur and Haney. While it is arguable the Loma is also top notch he seemingly got punched hard by Teo and refused to fight for six rounds. I would have Loma as one of the most skilled at 130lbs where he doesn't manifest that type of fear.

    Bivol really won every round against Canelo. The judging (Josh Taylor) has been horrid.

    That was definitely more one-sided than 115-113.
