There is absolutely nothing special about Devin Haney.

    Good win for Haney tonight but I fully stand by this.

    Good fighter but absolutely nothing special about him, the comparisons to Floyd are absurd.
    You were spot on then and now.

      He has a good jab and is big for his weight class. He has good punch selection. But he's not this special fighter that people are making him out to be.

        Solid win.

        I had it a lot closer than the judges.

        He loses to any elite fighter.

            Honestly his jab sucks for his reach advantage. He just left it out there to measure distance half the time, which technically is illegal anyway. He just doesn't have the goods imo, I guess we will see.

              Maybe not special but you once said he'd vacate his title if he had to fight Fortuna and fight James Tennyson instead so maybe he's not special but he is better than you gave him credit for.

                Amir Khan was much more skilled than Devin Haney and I’m a fan of Haney

                  I would bet against Haney if he fights Loma and the Kambosos who fought Neofimo. Both by KO

                    Chinny. Leaky defense. Not good when forced backwards. Kambosos gonna expose him

                      If Tennysson beat Straffon that fight was happening.

                      Regardless, I think I was spot on in regards to judging his level though. I never said he was a bad fighter, I think I call him a top 5 lightweight in the OP.
