What has been said?
“It’s definitely tougher for him now, I’m a much better fighter than I was four years ago, much stronger, more mature, more experienced in the ring,” Haney said.
“I know he is a tough competitor, he’s going to prepare well for the fight but I will be the better man that night.”
“The better opposition, the better I perform and I will show that. He is the best guy on paper. I will show that I’m above him as well.
“He was the guy on the No 1 pound-for-pound list, and eventually I will be that.”
