Comments Thread For: Devin Haney Considering Moving Up To Welterweight Division For His Next Fight

Crawford and Boots destroy Devin and I'm not even sure he could handle Stanionis, Speedy Ellis and Santillan.

He should go for undisputed at 140, and then move to welterweight.

His daddy Bill aka Bootleg Cornell West, will never put him in the ring with Matias.

Devin Haney would be the best name in Jaron "Boots" Ennis' record of 32 fights. Take the fight Bozy. Stop taking Custio Clayton levels.

boots and bud at 147

other then those names I don’t wanna hear it Haney’s

Height, reach, and ring size won't help him against these two.

I'm a bit tired of people talking about Ryan Garcia. All he is at this point in his is some instragram PPV sales. He isn't even a legit mandatory.

There are no real big money fights at the moment at 147 unless he is going to fight Crawford and there is no real interest in that fight.

135 and 140 has a lot of fighters that he can fight.

This right here, Other than Boots and Crawford.

Although, I would love a Haney v Stanionis fight.

I can’t argue that, and I agree. Ryan, is in a position we’ve never seen before in the sport. He is a superstar boxer and hasn’t even been a world champion even once yet. I don’t recall anyone else with that clout he has. Casuals love him the true diehards know the difference and are either writing him off just like you and I or are in the “prove yourself” boat. Most are in the former.

This would be really disappointing. Moving up too quickly is bad for the body. Haney is a big guy though but I would love to see him mix it up with the top guys at 140 over fringe guys at 147. He isn't gonna fight Boots so he would likely end up fighting guys like Barrios, Santillan, Crowley, etc.

Those are the only two guys that have belts to generate any interest. They might explore fighting a Brit Ala Taylor or Benn.

Haney looked a giant at 135 and even in his 140 debut he looked big as well. I think he should stay at 140, he looked great there.

He’s always bigger than his opponents. He only has to go up 4 pounds. Wonder if he is looking to fight Crawford or Ennis. He should fight lower class guys first. Their power is going to make a difference.
