Comments Thread For: Ryan Garcia Calls Out Devin Haney After 'Finest' Performance Against Regis Prograis, Promises They Will Fight in 2024

[champion4ever]

I find it interesting that Haney said before the fight that he would vacate the belt and move to 147

Obvious Matias duck... Blatant...

I don't care about anyone at 140 right now- no one is beating Matias, and Haney knows it lol.

Good business, is good business. Go fight Boots for the vacant 147 after Crawford vacates to move up to 154.

Boots vs Haney sounds great, actually. Apologies- typing and thinking lol.

Haney could become a 3 weight champion.. in 5 fights

Haney vs Boots. Now that's an interesting matchup. I personally favor Haney due to the fact that he is a pure boxer who won't stand flat-footed and trade punches with Boots.

Not if he fights Boots at 147 for a title. Haney may be more skilled than Boots, though I doubt it - defensively yes but offensively no - and therein lies the problem - Haney's chin was c grade at 135 - at 147 it'll be D-/E+ grade and Boots power is at least B level and he will connect multiple times.

If Haney beats Ryan he'd be a superstar - that might even get his profile to where Bud would think his scalp would enhance his legacy - that would end badly for Haney. Haney should stick to 140 now - Rolly is a given win if that gets made and Ryan andd Teo are winnable fights as are Davies/Barroso if the winner beats Rolly.

However, you cannot argue the fact that Haney has the better resume' than "Boots" Ennis.

Amateur wins don't count in the pro ranks. Especially now that Haney is fighting closer to his true weight. His chin and stamina are improved. Haney has progressed. Garcia has not.

I agree. I believe Haney was weighing close to a 165 lbs; On fight night versus Regis Prograis.

Haney should go for it. beat the cash cow and take an easy money. I am already waiting for Ryan`s excuses after the fight.

course he has a better resume - means nothing - Canelo had a better resume than Bivol

[SteveM]

That's not how it works. If he was squeezing into the lower weights that will weaken his punch resist. Many of fighters got hurt at the lower weights and were able to withstand bigger punchers at the higher weights. Canelo, Crawford, Mayweather, Cotto, etc.

yeah - fair comment, good pickup! But I'm not thinking his chin is stellar at any weight

Yups. "A better resume" doesn`t mean much when you fight somebody that is big, skilled and strong enough.

Before last night, I had Haney tailored made for Cryan, but last night Haney had speed, accuracy and pop in his shots. He'll make Cryan quit.

Tank is not ranked at 140 in any the organizations bodies. He fought there once and won a belt. He dropped the belt a week later because he wasn't comfortable at that weight. Tank is only 5'3 or 5'4. He shouldn't go to 140 where he'll be facing guys that are a minimum 5'7 with a much longer reach. Tank needs to co tinge to fight guys at 135 before they move up. He missed out on Haney and Teo. Barely got to Ryan. He needs to fight Loma before he retires and Shakur before he moves up.

Boots has 147 IBF.

But if I’m advising Haney, I tell him to deal with Cryan, then take Rolly’s belt. Let Matias deal with Teo to unify, then challenge Matias to unify, then challenge Tank for 140 supremacy. Because Tank has already fought there before and is still highly ranked there.

you mean they will mis-match two fighters if the money and the hype and the people are willing to pay not matter if it is not worth it ? sounds like the Haney fight sounds like a lotta PPV cards anymore but yea it works that way as long as someone knows it they can avoid it or be part of the hype. Last Nights winner of boxing and what it can be happened with the R n R vs Espanosa figth that was fun to watch...... no ppv just be there and let it happen.... last time R n R performed like that was when he fought his first professional fight and the result was the same i had to say i thought it would happen but man was it nice to witness.............

Rameriz vs Espinosa rematch my brother
