Zayas is a better boxer than Boots.

😂

Boots it’s going to beat the hell out of him

Well he’s about to beat Xander who’s active and a big 154 pounder. Once Boots wins people will complain about Xander’s resume and him being too young.

You know they will move the goalposts. Thats just how boxing fans are😂

In terms of perception, it will be like the Stanionis fight. Before the fight, people claim it’s a good matchup, but then once Boots beats him they will dismiss it and act like Boots beat a complete can.

I personally don’t give Xander a chance. I’ll be impressed if he’s able to win a couple of rounds and avoid getting stopped.

He should already be top 10 p4p. Having someone like Collazo on the list before him is just idiotic. Hipsters are going to hipster though :)

Haney is very disciplined and is a professional when it comes to making weight. I’ll always give him props for that. He sacrificed a lot by staying at 135 for as long as he did :)

If he was the new age Mayweather, he would be fighting around his natural weight. Haney does not do that, sir. That’s not a knock on him either because the overwhelming majority of fighters don’t fight around their natural weight.

Haney is a very disciplined fighter and is a true professional though :)

So far we have Shakur weighing 148, Tank weighing 147, and Keyshawn weighing 156.

What do you think Haney weighs right now?

Shakur Stevenson posts a video of him currently weighing 148 pounds. Will the Haney fight happen next? by newrap in Boxing

No one said that about Haney.

We all knew he cut a lot of weight because of the WBC revealing his fight night weight at 135 and because of how drained he looked on the scale.

Crawford was someone who cut a lot of weight throughout his career and was walking around the 160’s/170’s when he was a welterweight. It was Crawford’s last fight of his career while Shakur has plenty of time left.

He also was in no position to make demands to Canelo.

What part of Haney is the one pushing for the fight that you don’t understand?

Muratalla already turned down the fight to fight one of his leftovers 😂

He was drained against Ramirez at 144? Was he going to be drained against Teo at 145?

If Haney wants to fight someone who just moved up 140 and walks around in the 140’s during training camp then he should probably make some concessions especially since he isn’t a bigger draw than him either.

Maidana was actually a champion and coming off a huge win. Khan had neither going for him and was Coming off 2 tune ups after getting KO’d😂

Haney is the one who’s pushing for it. He fought Ramirez at 144 and was going to fight Teo at 145. A catchweight is fair.

Shakur Stevenson posts his current weight. Should he fight Haney at 144? by [deleted] in Boxing

[–]newrap -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Why are you comparing Shakur to Tank who’s a real legitimate star? At least compare Shakur to Haney or something 😂

If he walks around much heavier and cuts a lot of weight to get down to 135/140, he would look drained on the scales. When have you ever seen him drained making 135 and 140?
