Ring Magazine<\/a> about his belief that by beating WBO welterweight champion Brian Norman Jr. on Saturday, it would be worthy of him being added to the pound-for-pound list.<\/p>\nWhat Haney Must Actually Do<\/p>\n
For Haney to be added to the P4P list, he would need to do more than beat Norman Jr. It would be a good start for him, but he would need to put together some solid performances consecutively. He hasn\u2019t done that.<\/p>\n
Prerequisite wins needed by Haney for P4P consideration<\/p>\n
Brian Norman Jr.
\nJaron Ennis
\nGary Antuanne Russell
\nTeofimo Lopez<\/p>\n
In Haney\u2019s last four fights, he\u2019s had three lackluster performances in which he should have had two defeats. A 2-2 record in his last four fights isn\u2019t worthy of P4P.<\/p>\n
Jose Ramirez: Win \u2013 12-round unanimous decision
\nRyan Garcia: Loss \u2013 12-round majority decision
\nRegis Prograis: Win \u2013 12-round unanimous decision
\nVasily Lomachenko: Win \u2013 (controversial ) 12-round unanimous decision<\/p>\n
\u201cIt would show the type of fighter I am. I\u2019m fighting the best guy at 147 in my first fight. I didn\u2019t take any tune-ups or look to find the easiest guy to win a world title,\u201d said Haney. \u201cI went and faced the best guy. That\u2019s just a pound-for-pound fighter. That\u2019s a pound-for-pound champion.\u201d<\/p>\n
