Comments Thread For: Hearn: Haney Wants To Move Up To 140; Has Identified Prograis As The Fight He Wants

[archiemoore1]

Choosing to fight Prograis is like calling out a mountain lion. Why would Haney wanna fight a bigger, more aggressive, harder punching southpaw than Loma, without running it back with Loma first? Does he think he can shut Prograis down and tame him with his boxing, as much as he got hit by Loma? He has things to correct in the gym, and he should do that b4 going up to face bigger stronger men. If u have a bad night with Prograis, it could be a wrap. Plus, do u want that stain on your record, of not giving Loma a rematch when many feel he easily won that bout? Plus, can u hurt Prograis or even get his respect?

Figured hed move up. Rougarou will be ready to welcome him.

Great fight. Get it done

You want the biggest money and most desirable fight for the fans...Devin v Tank in SHOWTIME PPV!!

[champion4ever]

Yup. He's widely known as the guy who acted like a fool, then got a gift after talking endless trash and getting outclassed. His reputation is in tatters. If he moves on, well, imagine if Bradley had never rematched Pacquiao.

Will you just stop it?! Loma lost ok?! So get over it! He should have left everything in the ring that night but he didn't because he was too busy downloading data and it ended up costing him the fight.

When you are the challenger; You don't spot your opponents rounds and take rounds off and hold back like he did and then cry foul. Loma got his ass kicked. It's just that plain and simple. So get used to it because it's the way of the world.

Also, as far as Devin Haney's reputation is concerned; Don't worry! Boxing fans will get over it! They have faced much bigger dilemmas than this one and have overcome all of them.

Five years from now when boxing fans look back at this fight; They will realize that it wasn't so bad. They would realize that the judges had gotten right this time and that the right man won.

Devin Haney deserved the victory because he wanted it more.

I think it’s a great fight. Haney can’t make 135 anymore. Time to fight guys his size now. Let’s see how he does. Personally, I don’t care much for Haney but he is fast and can box. I think he will out point Prograise.
I also think Loma won but it was close fight with far too many close rounds. Loma would have EASILY out pointed him 3 years ago.

I think Devin is satisfied with beating Loma and moving on. All Tank offers is a career high payday. But if he loses to Tank, he could lose all of his confidence (i.e. Teofimo) and lose his $4 million paydays. Move up. Hell- go to 147. Devin vs Boots, Ortiz, Pacquiao??? Lmaoo

Devin wont make it to 5 years. He doesn't have it.

[champion4ever]

Yeah, have to agree, all the guys at 140 are overrated. Haney beats Taylor, Prograis, and Ramirez but Teofimo would be a good 50-50 fight.

What? Are you nuts? Lopez' head ain't wrapped on too tight. The man is a mental wreck. He would fuck Teo up. All those slow and wide ass punches he likes to throw Haney would slip and counter all of them. I know you are upset over the Loma loss but let's not lose our common sense and get carried away now.
