Comments Thread For: Kambosos: Devin Haney Is Best At 135-Pounds, Not Tank Davis

[daggum]

why would anyone think tank davis is the best?

haney is 2-0 vs top 5 fighters and 4-0 vs top 10 fighters
loma is 5-2(or 6-1 unofficially) vs top 5 fighters and 6-2(7-1 unofficially) vs top 10 fighters
tank is 0-0 vs top 5 fighters and 1-0 vs top 10 fighters

not in the same category

Yeah he beat absolute monsters in Kambosos and Abdullaev.

Obviously, you haven't heard. Shakur Stevenson has recently rejected a contract offer from the champ Devin "The Dream" Haney for the Lightweight crown. It was a simple duck. He cited that the money wasn't enough. Devin Haney was forced to take shorts and bet on himself against Kambosos. So why can't Shakur Stevenson do the same?

Shakur definitely dropped the ball there IMO. If you take the fight and win, you have the leverage and all the belts and everyone has to come through you and you get the big side of every purse. I have Haney 4th after some combination of Loma, Tank, and Shakur. Some good talent in Jamaine Ortiz, Frank Martin, Keyshawn Davis coming up too. But Haney was willing to bet on himself and now he gets to make the offers. Why isn't Shakur willing to bet on himself that way?

Haney is good but l want to see him against Shakur.

Haney is a paper champ. Got gifted the belts and gifted the decision against Lomachenko. Tank Davis sleeps Haney is 2 rounds and at 140 he will be quitting against all top names. Even Taylor would beat him.

Haney was crying against past his best much smaller Lomachenko.

Yep. Devin and Bill were both defeated and ready to give the "Devin killed himself making weight and that's why he lost" speech, they both knew he lost.

I dont like Haney but I respect that he has the balls to fight anyone and everyone. Tank looks good but I have to see him in there with someone decent first before I can decide. Kambosis beat 1 dude a couple years ago so he has to prove it to me again after losing to Haney. Loma is the best but he doesnt really belong in the division. Martin not quite yet and Zepeda might just be the best we'll see.

are haney shakur loma a cruz ruiz or garcia, no they are not, so they need to get in line or apply for a name change to see the man himself

[Monty Fisto]

Except Tank won’t fight the best to prove it. It’s all eye test with him, never a real resume.

Yes, this. If Haney is so overrated, people should be lining up to take his belts. Shakur and Tank look good but up to this point have not really been willing to put themselves out to there to get tested. Why aren't they madly pursuing a fight with Haney?

[ShoulderRoll]

Tank is the best. Tank eventually catches all these guys and he has power for 140 and above. Haney is going to have to be carefully matched at 140 and above, he will no longer hold his size advantage and he has feather fists, what is he going to do with a guy his size who can outwork him in the clinch and has more power, haney is so overrated its not even funny.

look at haney vs loma, they are realistically 2 weight classes or more apart and that was a near draw with loma being 35 years old past his best. I cannot picture haney beating a young prime guy at 140-147 where he belongs, he is going to get mauled there.

Except Tank won’t fight the best to prove it. It’s all eye test with him, never a real resume.

More accomplished on paper but I had him losing to Loma and would pick Tank by destruction.
