Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: William Zepeda Beats Devin Haney Right Now

[Eastlos]

Why is Haney an option? According to B-Scene's rankings, Zepeda is not ranked in the WBC Top 15! He should not be anywhere near a title shot yet! If Haney fights at 135, his options should be Kambosos, Loma, or King Ry! If anything, Haney should be targeting Jose Zepeda, not William Zepeda! Haney should be making a move to Top Rank or PBC! MatchRoom is not helping him at all!

Ryan has a fight set for April, while DAZN ain’t putting the money up for a Kambosos/Haney fight. Anyhow, Zepeda might not be ranked by the WBC but is ranked Top 6 by the WBA & WBO. Also, Haney satisfied his mandatory against JoJo so none is up next. Honestly don’t know why anyone wouldn’t want a Haney/Zepeda fight that has fireworks written all over it. Haney ain’t getting any better opponent.

Totally agree. Haneys not looking to fight Zepeda. He is after bigger targets. Zepeda is ranked 6th by both the WBA and the WBO. He was in the ring top 10, pre Davis vs Cruz. Davis was not in the top 10, but was at 140. So since Davis winning that fight, Davis has went in and Zepeda is out. But he's on the periphery. But he needs to fight better opposition. He's being ranked off of 1 win, against Tanajara, who lets face it, hadn't done anything either. Zepeda fought a journeyman last night, and didn't look anything special. This is all just name dropping from DLH.

Like I said, if not Kambosos, Loma, nor Kingry, Haney would be better off fighting Jose Zepeda @ 140, than William Zepeda @ 135! Even Michel "Ali" Rivera or Pitbull Cruz-Gonzalez are better choices @ 135! If Oscar wants someone to fight Haney, it should be Ryan Garcia!

Old man Linares almost knocked out Haney. Zepeda is way better than Linares at this stage, Haney does not have the power to keep Zepeda off him, which is why Haney struggled with Linares, difference is Zepeda throws way more punches and is not 40. It's 50/50 but Zepeda would beat Haney.... Book it, I doubt Haney would give this guy a chance unless he's the mandatory, which might not be that far away.

Winning 10 out 12 rounds in pretty dominant fashion constitutes struggling now? Linares landed ONE good punch at the end of round 10. That was it. Devin outboxed Linares more than Loma did.

Agreed, Haney is a hype job.
Linares schooled him also, age got to him..

Lost 10 out of 12 rds. Yeah he schooled him alright.

But everyone you named refuse to fight him
