    There is absolutely nothing special about Devin Haney.

    I’ve said this for a while too, I think after his performances vs Gamboa and Linares people are now starting to agree.

    At least the 135 version of AB actually looked impressive whilst people were hyping him up as the future of the sport.

    There’s no way in hell this kid could hang with Teofimo or Tank. Even Ryan Garcia walks through him IMO.

      I don’t even think he’s that skilled tbh man, I really don’t see anything special in the kid.

      Not saying he’s a bad fighter he’s a legit top 10 or even top 5 lightweight but I just don’t think he’s in the same league as the other young lightweights like Teofimo, Tank, Garcia in terms of talent.

        Lol stop it. I don’t like like the kid but he’s got skills just little pop.

        Getting buzzed by Linares is better than being dropped by Campbell. I do agree that Teo and Tank bear him though.

          He’s got good skills but so does Tevin Farmer. That doesn’t make you special. I just don’t see anything in Haney that makes me think he’s a potentially elite or great fighter.

          Whether I dislike him or not doesn’t come into it. I can’t stand Ryan Garcia for example but the kid clearly has exceptional hand speed and legit power, he’s a potentially special fighter because of those assets, Haney simply isn’t IMO.

            That would be sweet if that was his official nickname

            When he does his ring walk the ring announcer could be like, "DEVIN "THE BLACK PAULIE" HAAAAAAAANEYYYYY"!!!!!

            And then the crowd would roar

              Hes pretty good. I like his jab but yeah i agree. He has surprisingly little power and soon as he faces an aggressive fighter like stank or lopez he'll get laid out. Ryan has the speed and power to put him out but hes not as aggressive so i see a late stoppage. Which is why i see him begging ryan for a fight. He sees him as the weakest link

                  But stopping Cambell(who has never been stopped)the way Ryan did is more impressive than hugging for dear life against an old chinny Linares.

                    I’ve been saying the same thing for a while too Haney is just not special and just because he’s black folks want to act like he’s some “skilled” guy he’s NOT!!!!

                    Hes sloppy lunges with his shots and gets off balance a lot too just like Andrade.

                    Teo, Ryan and Tank hurt him badly.
