Comments Thread For: Bill Haney on Devin: "He's One Of The Greats In The Making"

I'm not sure what to think of Haney. Chips fell in place b.c of Teo and Loma's buffoonery. People complain about Lara but put him in with pressure fighters like Hurd and Angulo, no holding, just fighting his way out of pressure. Haney is more of a hug festival. I think Shakur will beat him down the road. They could flip flop Barring any issues, Shakur should be the class of the generation.

great we have shakur who is going to be the greatest & now we have haney who will also be the greatest, this is great news all round i think plus boots fans think he is the greatest in the making too and will win fighter of the decade

This era of boxing is frustrating. I don't recall the fathers of hagler, hearns, Duran, Holmes etc, always telling us how great their kids were. I really appreciated no Internet back then so we weren't inundated with such garbage .

Possibly because all of those other guys had absentee fathers.

Minus his wishes of seeing him getting his ass kicked, name one thing that he stated that was factually incorrect. I’m not even the biggest fan of Tank but he will walk right through him. He is just as fast as Huggies, his footwork is better than Huggies and his power is greater by a mile. We already know he has a suspect chin. We also know what Tank does to people who hug and hold as Huggies does. Tank will steamroll Huggies.

You don’t understand that this a bad style matchup for Tank Davis. Gervonta likes to fight on the outside and so does Haney.

However, Haney can do that because he’s a lot taller with a longer reach. Also, both are counter punchers.

Davis likes to set traps in order to time his opponents coming in but Haney is too ring savvy to fall for any of them.

The fact is if the smaller fighter doesn’t take any risks then Devin would do a real paint job on him with his jab.

Lastly, Davis’ punch volume and work rate are way too low to compete with Devin Haney.

The key in defeating Haney is throwing a high volume of punches, cutting off the ring and smothering him on the inside in order to neutralize his spacing and distance.

I am sorry but landing only single punches from the outside on Devin Haney won’t work. He’ll make adjustments.

This is a fair assessment
