Comments Thread For: Devin Haney: My Era As P4P No. 1 Is Around The Corner

[PRchamp]

Once Haney moves up to 140 and fights a live dog it’s a wrap for him. He can get away with the weight,reach and height advantages at 135 but when he moves up….he’s going to get stopped. That won’t happen because if he beats Loma look for him to defend his title against Richard Commey next while he waits for a vacant 140lb belts against a no hoper.

If Haney wants to be regarded as the best P4P fighter of his era then he must fight and defeat Gervonta Davis.

Whose Tank beat? Chin high in theyre first step up big profile fight.
He's either got to move up & fight everybody or keep sucking down to 135 & beat not only loma but Tank & Stevenson.
Even then he won't be as good as Usyk or Inoue.

If Haney beats Loma, Shakur and Tank at 135, I think he makes a great case for (assuming rumored fights happen) being a top 4 or 5 p4p boxer behind:

Spence/Crawford winner
Fury/Usyk winner
Inoue/Fulton winner
Canelo/Bivol 2 winner.

Not sure Fulton or Fury would deserve as much credit, being the bigger men with worse resumes. Same honestly could be said of Spence, which is why he never gets ranked above Crawford on any P4P list despite owning more belts at their shared division. Not sure about how Bivol's resume really stacks up either, TBH.

Haney's the bigger guy in this matchup too, with all the physical advantages, so it's going to be hard for him to get credit. Loma, Tank, and Shakur would make a strong case for him though. These guys don't seem to understand that winning when you're supposed to win doesn't mean as much as winning when you're not supposed to.

Last Saturday night a star was born and his name is Gervonta Davis. Just check out his box office receipts at the live gate and the Pay per view numbers.

Tank has proven that he doesn't have to fight either Loma, Shakur or Haney. He is already a box office draw among casual fans but Inoue and Usyk are not. You might as well face it. The man put meat in the seats.

Those guys you've mentioned need to build up their brands before Davis even so much as to entertain the thought of fighting either of them.

Haney will never be the #1 pound for pound fighter in boxing, because he doesn't have any punching power.
Boxing ability can only take you so far, because when your boxing ability can't get the job done, that's when power comes into play.
You have to be a well rounded fighter in all aspect in order to reach that lofty #1 pound for pound spot.

Just because a bunch of blacks like him, doesn't mean he's the best boxer. Ryan was not a skilled opponent. You see that chin high swing miss? Loma does that every fight, in much closer than Tank got. Tank avoided the truly skilled opponents. Loma just ain't black and he ain't American. Neither of which means Tank is the ****.

hes proven he doesnt have to fight good opponents to make fame and fortune. this is a good thing according to you lol

[Kzbox]

Meanwhile Tank just got put on the ring p4p list for beating Garcia lol Haney must be pissed right now and i wouldn't blame him. That list is questionable anyway it somehow has Errol Spence above Canelo would love to know their reasoning for that.

Once again you are making this about color. It doesn't matter who like him. They could be black, brown, red, yellow, white, blue or purple. The fact of the matter is; They are helping to drive up his ticket sales.

He is now a box office smash, a marketing machine and must see tv and that must really infuriate you. It doesn't matter who is the better or skilled fighter is at this point.

The bottom line is who could put enough meat in the seats, sell out arenas and break box office records and is name just so happens to be Gervonta 'Tank' Davis.

Does that make you salty on the inside; That this little black boy from Baltimore, Maryland is now the face of boxing?
