Comments Thread For: Devin Haney: I Believe I'm The Best Fighter in The World!

Devin "huggy" Haney, sorry but you'll always be associated with that lunge and hug when Linares had you on ***** street. Beating basic Kambosos twice does not make you all world beater yet.

Haney is a good technical boxer. He is usually bigger than everyone at that weight class. HOwever he gets schooled by Stevenson. I think Davis, Garcia, knock him out. Loma school shim too. He is a holder and he gets hit way too easy. He doesnt have a great chin, Too basic would get bewildered by someone with better speed. Kambosos were good wins but George is more of a jr lightweight and Haney is more of a jr. Welterweight.

This is how a champion suppose to think. He has done something that may not geat repeated. Youngest ever to have all 4 major belts in the 135lb division whether you like him or not, and he's getting paid well

If you’re a pro fighter you have to that type of mindset but this kid is straight up delusional.

You won your titles by beating Abdullaev and Kambosos. That doesn’t make you an elite fighter never mind best in the world.

Haney is gonna have his Maidana moment sooner rather than later.

He beat the man who beat the man. He deserves his credit. They had the opportunity to fight him and didn't. He shows he is willing to do what it takes to make a fight happen, and that's rare with these modern fighters. This type of fighter should be celebrated.

So did Carlos Baldomir… was he the best Welterweight in the world in 2006? Was Briggs the best HW in the world in 97? Was Cotto the worlds best Middleweight in 2015?

Haney got gifted a WBC title versus a fringe contender in Abdullaev then unified with a lower end top 10 guy in Kambosos. Belts don’t mean sh** in the modern era, there are so many manufactured champions.

I give him credit for betting on himself and going on the road twice but beating Kambosos doesn’t give you P4P status. It doesn’t even prove you’re an elite fighter. Let’s be real, Loma, Tank even Ryan Garcia would absolutely smoke Kambosos.

He’s not even the best Lightweight in the world never mind best fighter in the world. Lightweight is in a similar position to 115, the best fighters aren’t necessarily the guys holding the belts.

Well at least I can say that he has definitely made a case for being P4P on Saturday night; By fighting Kambosos in his own backyard for the second time in a row while dominating and nearly stopping him in a more convincing fashion than the last time.

normally when a fighter says they think they are the best in the world after beating someone x2 who most think is a bum u would expect a lot of stick off people for that statement

[GhostofDempsey]

I guess we'll know how true this is if others at 135 refuse to fight. Will Tank fight him? One would think he would want to be a champion again. Shakur is moving up, will he want Haney? Loma making his comeback, will be go right for Haney? If all of them want Haney, will Haney fight them or price himself out? Or insist they need to fight opponent A, B, and C before getting their shot? 2023 should answer these questions. For now, he gets credit for going overseas twice to beat the undisputed champ and defend his titles there. I doubt Tank or Shakur would ever have done that.

This is a confident statement coming from Haney, but to me to me the guy fights scared.
