So you are picking the least proven of them all because you think everyone is ducking him? Let’s be honest, Haney looks to have a ton of talent and could possibly be the best of them all, but as of now, he has definitely proven the least.
Teo has tons of options so let’s wait to see what else he does. Many of his options are better options than Haney. Tank and Garcia are the same. I would love for Haney to get in the mix too, but I’m not calling a duck unless these fighters are picking weak opponents. All three of them just beat good fighters while Haney fought Gamboa.
They are picking lesser fighters though, and giving up the shot at undisputed. It says something that they would rather have less money and not be undisputed.
I agree Haney is the least proven. He’s also the one out there at every fight “fight me” and they all have reasons where they want less money and no belt.
Maybe Haney isn’t that good. He certainly didn’t look great in his last fight. But I’d like to see one of these guys step up to his challenges. And saying you’ll fight him for 10 million is saying you won’t fight him
What lesser fighters are they picking? Teo fought Loma who many people considered #1 p4p. Before that, he fought Commey who was a proven lightweight. He hasn’t picked his next fight yet so we will see. I will see your point of ducking Haney if he fights a low quality fighter next.
Tank is still technically at 130 so we will see what he does. I do agree that Tank has definitely been dodging some people. I’m not sure so much if it’s Haney but he hasn’t been fighting the best competition lately.
Garcia just fought Campbell who is a established lightweight that he could get real recognition for. Beating Haney before beating Campbell would most likely result in Haney being called overrated rather than Garcia being legit.
Again, let’s wait and see what these fighters do in their next outing first. We will also see what Haney does. It’s easy to call out top fighters when you are the unproven one. If Haney fights and beats a caliber of fighter that the other 3 have done in their last fight then he has more of a case to be their top priority. As of now, I don’t think Haney is a top opponent of any of them.
