Comments Thread For: Devin Haney Proved He's The Best Fighter In The World, Says Bill Haney

[Hands of Stone]

Love him or hate him, the kid is proving is worth. Kambosos isn't great but the kid went to his backyard to fight him twice. Then he picked Loma when most thought he will avoid that fight, me included. Controversy aside, he emerged the winner of the fight. if he moves on to fight Prograis and beat him, it will be hard not to put him in the top 3 pound for pound even if just for his activity and quality of win.

bill is currently writing to every outlet that doesnt have devin as p4p no1, its going to take a long time

P4P #1, over Boots Ennis, Shakur, Crawford, Tank, Spence, Benavidez, Prograis, Cool Boy, Inoue, Usyk, Fury, Bivol, Beterbiev, Canelo, Morrell, Andrade, and so many others? That's arrogant and disrespectful to say. You got by Loma, and got a decision, but in no way did you dominate, you didn't knock him down at all. It's very debatable whether you're even better than Loma, when more than half the public says you clearly lost that fight. You were hit in your face constantly getting your head snapped back in most of the rounds. When he pressured you, your form suffered and you looked unsure of yourself. You were flailing at times. You were just fine with giving Kambosos a rematch, because you won easily the 1st time. But you don't seem eager to do the same for Loma. P4P has different croteria for different ppl. I think it means if you were the same size as Boots Ennis, Spence, Crawford, for example, would you be able to beat them? I say no. They're too smart, and too destructive

It was in the contract he had to give the former undisputed champion a rematch. He doesn’t have to give Loma boo. He’s dead at the weight now , if he stays at least make it worthwhile i.e Tank

Out of Boot ennis 30 opponents, name me just 3 p4p opponents that he beat, I’m very curious

No disrespect to Devin. But he has only fought 5 boxers who ever had any kind of a name in boxing- Gamboa, Linares, Jo Jo Diaz, George Kambosos, and Loma. Of those 5, only Loma was a P4P level guy, and no one really thought Loma had anything left b4 the Haney fight. Gamboa was nice, way way b4 Devin ever got to him, but was long past his prime by the time they met. Of these 5, none were stopped by Devin. Linares had Devin on wobbly legs, and many ppl believe Loma clearly won. This in my humble opinion, does not make Devin P4P the best, it just makes him a good fighter. As for Boots, no one with a name will face him, although he has stated for years now that he wants all the top guys at welterweight. No one with a name has sent him an offer. As soon as anyone did step up, they either ran for their life like Karen did, or they get brutally knocked out like Lipinets, Dulorme, or Custio Clayton did. Devin isn't doing that to his opponents, no disrespect. He's not p4p. He slaps, pushes his punches, and punches on the move, he doesn't hurt ppl or stop anyone. That's not p4p.but he is a good fighter no doubt

My daughter is also (for me) the best lady in the World...

Now get real Bill and tell me: "Who actually and really won that fight ?"

[-Kev-]

I’m going to push him around, going to show him how small he is, i’m going to force him into retirement. - Devin Haney….the guy who didn’t do any of that, and actually lost.

He’s a former drug dealer and his son is a racist POS , Devin saying he would “never lose to a white boy” smfh ….lol yea he’s a great dad

It’s an ignorant statement not racist. I used to be a Sprinter and I used to say the same thing about running . They were all slow and I used to give them head starts ( off course there are exceptions but I never met them) I don’t have a racist bone in my body . I have friends that are black and white in equal measures. They joke that they will destroy me in swimming which I concede. Their disciplines in running start from 800 metres and further. The white boys always won long distance races. Anyway I said that to say this Haney could believe that until he gets beat by one. Bernard Hopkins said the same thing and got beat by Joe calzache. I think those comments are directed at the guys they are fighting and not a true reflection of their views . Basically just saying it for shock value. Whilst me I actually believed no white boy could beat me in a race which I was spot on .11.5 seconds 100 metres, at the age of 13/14years made me have the confidence to believe that. Injury is the only reason I’m not Olympic champion
