Comments Thread For: Where Does Devin Haney Go After Losing To Ryan Garcia?

[factsarenice]

The rematch would serve both their needs well. Also, and more importantly, there is money there. Neither of these guys is going to do well at 147. If Haney can stick and move and also stick his right hand to the side of his own head, I think he wins the rematch.

Agreed!

And if I can get a number for the girl on the bike I will continue to agree because I have no shame and she's my dream girl.

Almost forgot, yes the rematch could be part of modern day trilogy that fans will pay for.

The upside for this kid is tremendous. The sky is the limit for him at this point of his career.

There’s Matias, Cruz and Teo to just to name a few. Then there is always the rematch with Ryan Garcia.

One loss does not define an entire career. It wasn’t like he was knocked out or anything.

He lost to Welterweight for crying out loud.

Away hopefully, but unfortunately he still has a belt so we need to put up with him for longer.

This dude was always overrated just like Stevenson, and Crawford. Crawford is the only one who has done better match making to spare his career. As you can see Crawford continues to avoid anyone who poses a threat, people like to bring up Spence and to that I say, Spence was and is the only name on Crawford resume but let's be honest, he waited for Spence to have an accident, need eye surgery, and by that time Spence had outgrown the division and was draining himself to make weight. That's not Crawford fault but he's very careful about taking on serious challenges.

last fight he was coming into his man strength but now he seems to have lost it again, he needs to take a good look at himself in the mirror and ask himself, 'where the hell did my man str go to?'

Crazy that "fans" think a loss is a nail in the coffin of a fighter's career. And we wonder why fighters shy away from true 50/50 fights. Losing is a part of life/boxing. Methinks its a little too premature to be singing Haney's obituary for losing to another talented fighter. He will be fine and will be back. Its all in HIS hands!!!!

Except the critique of Haney isn’t only from this fight. It stems all the way from the Linares fight (Haney rightfully won but his chin was exposed), and a lot of people had him losing to Lomachenko.

You can say this was his first loss technically, but like Broner when he lost to Maidana, the writing was already on the wall that he wasn’t going to be elite. Maidana just got the honors of technically beating him first. But Ponce De Leon and Malignaggi had already done that in a lot of fans eyes.

With Haney, in a lot of boxing fans scorecards, that was his 2nd loss.

And btw, you’re right, I agree that fighters shouldn’t be counted out because of 1 loss, or even 2-3 losses. But what people are saying is that he’s not elite, he’s not the best as he claims. Haney can beat some top ranked fighters, but not the elites. I think that’s fair to say.

his career is over, he tried to end the careers of loma and ryan & it reverted back to him, its called karma

You are insane or just trolling one. What Haney really needs to work on his defense. Especially his upper body defense.

Both his reaction time and reflexes were incredibly slower against Garcia.There is no way that Ryan Garcia’s big ass should have been able to touch him up like that.

Haney needs to reestablish himself. I think fighting the winner of Taylor-Catterall or Sandor Martin would be a step in the right direction.

I hope Garcia tells him he can have a rematch after he rematches Loma at 135.. . He got dropped "3" times and hit the canvas 5 times. Why does that merit a rematch, but Conceicao v Navarrete doesn't?

Wont work! Only Devin can get to decide whether or not he wants to rematch Loma because he was the champion at the time. Therefore, he owes Loma nothing.

That fight was a mandatory bout that he did not get to decide whether or not to fight him. It was written in his contract to fight him.

He fulfilled that obligation. So now it’s time to move onto bigger and better things.

i used to call ryan cryin a lot but now i wont do that anymore, hes earned that respect, i dont think he will know about this or even care if he did but its still a mark of respect anyway, as for devin, he could be called dopey devin for a while but he and bill seem to have both taken this loss without the zillion excuses standard almost now so i think he can remain as devin
