Is Devin Haney the new Broner???!

[War Room]

Exposed as what?

1. As a fighter with a weak chin.
2. A fighter tha can be timed easily with a left hook.
3. A fighter than can be outhustled when they're not fighting cans.
4. As a fighter that has little answer for combination punching.
5. As someone that should not be a champion.
6. As someone who's been taking easy fighters because he's getting hurt in the gym/sparring.
7. As soneone with poor recovery.

from here on out every haney opponent will have to wear pillow gloves.

Based on last night, Devin should steer clear of the heavy-hitters at 135. I think we'll see him fight the winner of Fortuna-Jojo and then move up in weight. He's a big lightweight so I expect his chin and powers of recovery to be significantly better at 140. I'd be surprised if he takes the Teo fight, I would give him massive props for jumping in with the Champ.

maybe but i remember khan saying that too...i mean canelo was clearly drained out of his mind at 154 or 152 for pu-ssies but you could see he was struggling at those weights: very low work rate and not a lot of confidence in letting his hands go. low energy as trump would say. haney keeps a good work rate, lets his hands go, and seems to have pretty good stamina at 135.

Broner was better and more exciting at 22

I was thinking that watching his last fight and last night. Looks flashy. The hand speed is impressive but he doesn’t really hurt anybody.
We’ll see if he actually steps up the competition. I think Ryan Garcia or Tank Davis would catch him with something big pretty easily. Could be like Broner/Maidana.

Not knocking Haney's ability, he's very good. I just think he's still a bit too green for the elite so he'd be doing himself a favour by fighting them at a more comfortable weight, giving himself time to develop also.

Khan's chin was definitely much better at 140 than 135, he took bombs from Chino and Peterson and wasn't hurt by the others he fought there until he ran into DSG. Khan was also KO'd before he reached world level, Haney has looked nowhere as vulnerable.
