In this segment of Episode 90, the panel discusses the strong possibility of top lightweight names moving up to the junior welterweight division. More specifically, the panel breaks down numerous scenarios where undisputed lightweight champion Devin Haney would still stick around the 135-lb division to face names such as Shakur Stevenson or Gervonta 'Tank' Davis, depending on how well Haney fares against Lomachenko on May 20, 2023.
