Chris Mannix wants him to take the fight at 147 pounds, where the result could be judged without an argument over restrictions dominating afterward.

“If this fight happens with a catchweight and a rehydration clause, there is no way that Shakur Stevenson is going to get full credit for his win if he wins,” Mannix said during his podcast discussion with Sergio Mora.

Mannix pointed to Gervonta Davis’s victory over Ryan Garcia as an example of how contractual limits can remain attached to a result long after the fight ends. His concern is that Shakur could outbox Haney only to spend the aftermath defending the terms rather than discussing his performance.
