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

[Jsmooth9876]

The guy gets a gift over Loma and a win over a sliding Prograis and suddenly he's the second coming of Sugar Ray.

At least he wants to make fights unlike some of the other guys people are in love with here

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

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

The Ryan fight seems like Devin, Ryan & ODLH are all wanting to make it. Or last I saw anyway.

Teo is all over the place so there might be issues there, but he's a bold mfer (Loma & Josh) when he wants to be so I got faith thats makeable in the next 12mos.

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.

Go look at some of the guys in the HOF now & their resumes & then lmk if you feel the same still. Easy examples, Gatti & Mancini are in the HOF.

Devin has a future HOFer (Loma) on his resume & a lot of other belt holders. Amir beat some belt holders, but none of those guys are in the HOF. And George & Regis were arguably #1 (George was obv #1, Regis was probably #2, but you could argue he was #1) when Devin beat them. I believe Devon was the only arguably #1 guy when Amir fought him, but I'd have to look to be sure.

You are 100% correct. Gatti is the best example actually. Boxing purists do not think highly of Gatti but they do respect him.
Side note: I met Gatti twice in Jersey and he was super chill. We rode the train together to NY and nobody recognized him except me)

I believe Haney wants to be lauded like the ATG so he’s not about to retire anytime. His ceiling will be 147. So I take back what o says after looking at a bunch of guys that got enshrined in Canastota. Haney is absolutely in the HoF

I hope so.

Devin has shown he wants the big fights and hard fights so hopefully they happen.

Teo vs Haney is an amazing fight.

[Andrewtz1]

Davis and Crawford....nah! Especially Crawford he would get destroyed! How about fighting Taylor and Shakur then maybe Tank. Haney isn't that guy he's dreaming and IF the fight would happen, Davis/Crawford Haney has to swallow pride and realize he will be the "B" side. The sweet science has changed With everyone having more belts than ever. Not to mention the ducking/ hiding.

Crawford hurts Haney pretty bad.

You are right because Bud is still in his prime. The fighter that Devin Haney should target at 147 is Jaron "Boots" Ennis. He's not as championship experienced nor battle-tested as Terence "Bud" Crawford.

Besides, Jaron Ennis hasn't had the opportunity to prove himself on the big stage yet. Also and by the way, I would favor Haney in that potential and hypothetical matchup if it ever happens.
