Comments Thread For: Hearn: Linares Is Breakout Fight That'll Show Devin Haney Is Best Lightweight On Planet

[Greenfield02]

Let's not get ahead of ourselves now, Linares got knocked out not so long ago by Pablo Cesar Cano... and I think it was in the first or second round too.

Wrong, Hearn! When Haney, Lopez, Ryan, and Davis fight, then the best Lightweight will be determined. Assuming Davis doesn't get put in the slammer for too long.

Linares is still a good fighter. Haney is a pillow fisted unproven email champion. This will be the beat fighter he’s ever faced.

Linares has only the name left as hes way long in the tooth. Haney shouldve fought Loma. This fight is sadly Devins best. That doesnt say much

[TernceBudCharlo]

If Haney dominates every round of the fight, you definitely have to put him in the same category as Garcia or even above Garcia. You don't have to rank him as high as Teofimo, but you cannot deny him of the right to fight Teo for the title of number one either. He must be given the opportunity.

I don't know about all that, the best does it vs the best. What I see is, Haney has been slapping more since the operation and Linares has been kod in the kiddy pool. Hearn didn't pick Linares for his iron jaw, Haney might powder puff and maul him into a tko.

[andocom]

In Hearn's defense he isn't saying beating Linares makes Haney the top lightweight on the planet, just that he thinks Haney is the best lightweight, and this fight will show everyone else.

I mean I don't agree, but what would you expect from a promoter.

Accurate summary.

Haney fan but this fight won't prove ****. Its a good fight but Linares is probably not even a top 5 LW & Its not like Haney will even beat Linares more decisively than ever before as he has been absolutely schmondingled on multiple occasions.

[dan_cov]

Haney, Garcia, Tank, Teo just need to all stfu, stop fighting all these weak links and just fight each other already and their fans need to stfu making excuses for them and start boycotting their fights and demanding they fight each other already.
