Comments Thread For: Haney's Ideal 2024 Includes Fights vs. Garcia, Lopez, Davis & Crawford At 147, Says Hearn

[wildman]

Garcia and Lopez are realistic. Tank is only going to fight safe opponents for that phony belt. Crawford not likely to hang around at welterweight after Spence rematch.

Keep him away from Bud if he still wants to have a career

Bud would put a beating on Devin just because!

We’d be lucky to get one of those.

The way Devin has moved I'd disagree. Love or hate Devin they appear to be a team with their eyes on the biggest/bigger fights they can make. I think one of those fights is a lock to happen & I'd definitely bet on Devin making one of his top 4 fights more than anyone else at 135/140 hitting one of their ideal top 4 fights for next year. Unless Pitbull is on Tank's list anyway.

That said I think Bud ain't happening. Devin ain't on the level of getting that kinda fight rn. I think 2024 will be Bud's last year & I'm thinking he'll wanna do this contractual Errol rematch & then he'll fight another big fight or be gone if he doesn't get a big fight.

Tank happening is all about Tank & while I dig watching Tank I have lil faith in him wanting to fight other top guys, like Devin, so that one seems unlikely but its about Tank more than Devin.

Ryan & Teo seem makeable tho. Hell Ryan seems like it might be next last I heard.

Davis don't want to fight anyone, just forget about him.

He’s too busy buying and burning buildings.

Out of all of those, I think the Ryan Garcia fight happens.

I don’t think they would fight Crawford. Crawford is the same size as Haney, but more powerful and more aggressive.

The rest, Haney would be bigger than all of them. Probably weigh 170lbs+ on fight night, on some Margarito/Clottey sh/t.

If Haney fights and beats all those names, he’d have become a certified ATG. However, I doubt we see it and if we do I’m sure he will catch at least 2 L’s

I've been wondering if Devin is already a HOF guy off of his last few fights & am leaning towards he would be if he retired tomorrow. Linares, JoJo, George x2, Loma & Regis are all quality W's. Idk if anyone around rn has a better 6 fight active resume like that. So if he gets a Teo W I'd be firmly in the he's a HOF guy today side of it instead of only leaning.

Crawford hurts Haney pretty bad.

I wouldn’t argue against any of that.

Devin will fight them but it won’t be mutual.

Even if they want to, politics will get in the way.

Not to sound critical but Khan’s resume includes guys like Maidana, Devon Alexander, Zab and Paulie and if he gets into the HoF, then yes, Haney def will.
What I’m alluding to is Haney might get in just due to the fact that he’s unified a division but his overall body of work is far from being HoF worthy.
