Mosley was asked where Keyshawn fits into the picture and gave his breakdown of how he sees that fight happening.
Mosley pointed to Garcia’s upset win over Haney as the type of performance Keyshawn should try to replicate.
“I think Keyshawn will use the Ryan Garcia method and jump on him. Dev is going to try him the first two or three laps, but as soon as that doesn’t work, he’s on his bike and he’s gone.” Mosley told MillCity Boxing.
“He’s got to make sure he’s ready because if he’s not all in, then you know, you’ve got to go with Devin because Devin, you know, he’s going to be ready,” Mosley said.
The former three-division world champion’s father also suggested that Haney and his father, Bill Haney, had developed a reputation for getting an edge before the fight even started.
“They’re very good with their talk and mess with the guy. It’s the fight before the fight,” Mosley said. “That mental warfare. It definitely works.”
Keyshawn, currently the WBO’s #1 ranked welterweight, has repeatedly called for the Haney fight since becoming the mandatory challenger. Haney, meanwhile, continued to talk about wanting to face Shakur next.
The WBO ordered Haney to face Keyshawn next, while Haney also publicly discussed a fight with Stevenson. A decision on which direction he takes could determine the immediate future of the division.
