Who does he fight next?

WHAT??

The arena seats at MSG are still warm from the fight Saturday night... and you're going on about Teo being reluctant to fight Haney??

(Damn... must've missed something)


Man... I'm so tired of hearing about Haney.

Hey. Nothing personal. The guy's a superb boxer. But let's face it. He's riding two victories over a "less-than-elite" Kambosos... and a questionable and controversial win over the smaller, older Lomachenko.

Everyone knows Haney's size is better suited for 140. But HE'S NOT THERE YET!

So are we really going to go down the yellow brick road of all of a sudden you've got 140-pounders avoiding Haney??

Maybe we're asking the wrong questions here.



Oh... and before you go on a song and dance about Kambosos having beaten Teo... let's remember that it was a physically impaired and subpar Teo that he beat. Saturday night's Teo would've ripped Kambosos a new one.
Listen, there must be some reason why Teo is reluctant to fight Haney.

Teo has a better resume than Haney and beat Loma and nearly stopped him in the last round.

Haney resume is weak (in some regards) because he can’t get anyone to fight him!

There is no reason why they can’t fight each other next..Teo dad is already pricing himself out by saying 20 million so it’s pretty obvious that Haney style will be awful for Teo.

Do you have a source that backs up your claim about Teo's dad pricing himself out of a Haney fight?

Again... Teo JUST now finished beating Taylor. The gloves are still warm from the action. Isn't it just a TAD early to make claims about Teo ducking this guy or that guy?

Haney's just gonna have to stand in line now.

Teo's got three other champions at 140 he can target. Even José Ramirez is standing in line with his hand out now.

Besides... last time I checked, Haney's last fight was at 135.

Let's wait for him to make the move up to 140, before you keep claiming that Teo's ducking him.
It’s very obvious to everyone that Teo wants no part of Haney.

You obviously never noticed over the years.

I’m not the kind of person to lie to myself, I just want to see the best fights.

Teo could have made the Haney fight straight after he beat Loma.

I already said that Teo has a better resume than Tank and Haney in regards to beating top tier fighters especially as he was the underdog in both his biggest fights.

Unfortunately Teo wants no part of that Haney/Tank/Shakur style fighter.

The crazy thing is that he can beat all these guys!

50:50 fights.


Loma is the ultimate boxer. A case can be made for his fight against Haney, even though he was giving away size.

Teo fought and beat Loma.

So why on Earth would he be ducking Haney?

If you were to tell me Tank or Shakur, especially Tank... who packs a punch... maybe I'd agree with you.

I guarantee you, if Haney comes up to 140 and wants to fight Teo... the fight will be made.

Seeing the alternatives, it's probably one of the easier (barring Romero) 140 fights Teo could make.
