    I didn’t mean to dismiss Lopez, I just thought he had outgrown 135. If he can make 135 he should definitely be considered. Any man that beats Loma is top notch, if they take a loss or not elsewhere still top notch.

    I think I would quite like to see Haney fight Tank. Would be an interesting fight.

    Having been there and up close, it was very clear Haney held a huge reach advantage over Kambosos and he fought a smarter fight. Kambosos wants fighters to be in there mixing it with him, Haney simply outboxed him from start to finish not allowing him to get in close. Haney will do the same to Tank and Lopez who are perfect for Kambosos. Haney is very good, he works on the hit and not be hit method, he stuck Kambosos with three or four jabs in a row and was gone before the counter came...I can see the same frustrations occurring with Tank or Lopez. A rematch is a waste of time, Haney will do the same thing again, his options are plentiful though, Tank, Garcia, Lomo, Stevenson and Lopez? He will definitely go up to 140lb within a year or two, but he's only 23yrs old! There is no rush, it's going to be very difficult for anyone to beat him in that time.

    If i was Haney I'd just do the rematch v kambosas (if he wants it), it's contracted and he'd win, so he'd get paid, get a world title defense in to pad the stats and be ready for whoever wants it next. Haney is young still so he doesn't need to rush, he's got the time and he's got the belts. I'd hope to get the rematch out of the way quickly and then let the challengers come to me... I'd try to get a good deal out of lomachenko after the rematch, he's top class but also getting a bit older and not a big lad at this weight class.

    Obviously as a fan it'd be cool to see him v any of the top guys but the young git has time, I'd like to see him v Davis and/or lomachenko in the near future.

    If I’m Haney I’d go for Loma if it can be done because I’d consider it a good matchup with the reach and speed advantage. And it’s a bit of legacy that can’t be acquired 2 years down the road.

    As a boxing fan though there are few fights that intrigue me more than Haney vs Tank.

    Have to wonder how Haney would do with the turning footwork and inside work of Loma. Haney won't get those opportunities to clinch off the lead so much. Actually love that he won, it feels like the division is finally feeding it's potential to explode. Many great match ups!

    I'd welcome any of Haney or Tank vs Garcia/Lopez
    With the winners meeting.

    It seems Tank doesn't have many fans around here but I think he might be the best of the lot. Maybe Haney's size and style gives him problems, but he is a big danger for them all.

    Loma is currently, seemingly tied up in Ukraine.
    Shakur moving up a little down the line to be in the mix as well.

    What a great crop of talent! Let's hope they all fight one another and give us some memorable fights.

    Certainly an advantage inside for Loma. But how does he get there against the length and speed both of hand and of foot? I could see Haney taking the first 6 and then it turns into “will Haney make the final bell?”
    Or Haney can come back better. Of course he faded being so obviously over hyped for that last fight. Does he settle into who he is a bit now? Or is stamina always going to be an issue?
    So many questions and I love it
