[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Devin Haney knew for years that he had the skill set to become the best lightweight in the world. What he long sought for was the right opportunity to prove to everyone else in the industry what he always knew to be

Yes, Devin Haney has all the belts at lightweight but let's not forget that's largely due to circumstance. It's not like he went around beating all the top guys and taking their titles, he just got the perfect opportunity to take them all in one fell swoop from a relatively average champion.

I can't think of any other division right now where the question of "who is the best?" is more unclear and up for debate than at lightweight.

When i think of Devin, I think of a stylish boxer with fast hands and feet, pretty good jab, not a big puncher. But he has stopped a little over half of his opponents, which isn't bad. If only he can get some man strength and sit down on certain shots, turn his knuckles over, and punch through his target. But if he did all that, he would be a different cat, hitting harder, but a little more vulnerable to get hit with something coming back at him. Hopefully he can find that sweet spot where he's sitting down more, but still defensively responsible

it’s not difficult to recognize the best in the division; Haney beat the man that beat the man, it’s pretty simple, Lopez >lomachenko, kambosos>Lopez, Haney >kam’ lineage is fairly recent. As the top guy, he does have some interesting challengers because he hasn’t defeated lomachenko or Lopez yet who, imo pose realistic threats. This makes it interesting. But, We have a clear title picture with none of the “4 queens“ nonsense, that was being force fed to make it seem other LW contenders were being held to the same standards as the divisional leaders. That said. Haney proved to be the cream of the crop with Lopez separating himself also. Opposition level doesn’t lie, dev and Lopez actually defeated some top guy’s, tank isn’t even in the same league as crying Garcia

Wasn't Haney prepared to fight Loma but Loma went the "franchise" bs route instead?

How much “due” he gets after this fight depends heavily on Kambosis. If he doesn’t drastically change the game plan, Haney will control and clinch, control and clinch. He gets zero due then for doing the same thing to the same guy who did the same thing.
Kambo could really make this a long night for him. The problem is that Haney is so good at that technique that he may have to be not only rough but perfectly rough. Violent clinches without losing points, angles, and far better distance control.

Abdullaev an underrated win for Haney

Haney is the best ever, greatest of all time , pound for pound number 1 at Clinching aka Hugging.

First he was the email champ then he got all the real belts by beating the man who beat the man, and that's still not good enough. Let me guess, he's still not the real champ cause he doesn't have the I.B.O and the N.A.B.F. belts. You guys are weird. Devin is THE UNDISPUTED LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMP OF THE WORLD. Deal with it homie

Oh shyte Hearn is in Austrailia now too. How much do you guys wanna bet he's ****ing on Haney's hotel door begging for him to come back 'home'. Nah, I'm quite sure TR got armed security around Haney to keep Hearn away.
