1. He's ugly.
2. He has an annoying father who is also ugly.
3. He talks like he is a star.
4. He has no power.
5. He is a hugger.
6. He got whipped in front of evertbody.

Well...

I think Devin Haney has reached the high point of his career leading up to his fight against Garcia. He was exposed by Garcia. Haney is good enough to win some of his bouts at the elite level. But he'll also lose a few. He may even win another belt or two. However, over are the days of Floyd-like comparisons and an air of invincibility.

He should come back THIS YEAR, at 147 and fight Conor Benn, or stay at 140 and fight Richardson Hitchins! I would suggest 147, because of this...

Haney’s Weight Cut: A Disaster Waiting To Happen
By Nationvegas - 04/19/2024

Devin Haney looked terrible on Thursday at the final press conference for his fight against Ryan Garcia on DAZN PPV. There’s no hiding the fact that the WBC light welterweight champion’s weight cut is brutalizing him, trying to get down to 140. That 170+ to 140 cut (if those rumors are true) is a recipe for body breakdown. Devin is just begging for trouble taking off that kind of weight. The worry here is for his long-term health.

Haney looked really drained, wearing a jacket and sunglasses in what appeared to be a strategy to disguise how his weight loss. It didn’t fool anybody. Devin’s eyes looked sunken in from fluid loss, and it was obvious that he is going through torture to get down to 140.

Sunglasses on the Scale: My Bold Prediction

I wouldn’t be surprised if Haney wears sunglasses at the weigh-in, even on the scale, to hide how sunken his eye sockets are. I’m predicting that right now. The way Haney looks, he’s going to have to move up to welterweight soon because he’s taking a lot out of himself, draining down from what some believe is 170+ to get down to 140 to fight much longer, guys. When Haney moves up to welterweight, Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis going to be waiting for him, and there’s no way he can avoid that guy without looking like a scaredy cat. if Haney stays at 140, Subriel Matias is his only real option because he’s not going to be able to negotiate a fight with Teofimo Lopez. That guy will want $20 million at the very least, and his promoters at Top Rank likely won’t make it easy on Haney without him signing with them for a couple of fights.

Ryan Garcia: The Lurking Threat

Ryan (24-1, 20 KOs) might pull off the upset and sink Haney’s ship before he even gets to a match against Boots Ennis, Matias, and Teofimo. Haney may have drained himself one time too many to where it’s finally caught up to him.

Garcia looked kind of wolfish during Thursday’s press conference, watching how drained Haney was, and ready to pounce on his prey.

Nature has a way of evening things out for weight bullies. Haney is an extreme example of a guy competing out of his natural weight class by training down 25+ lbs from 165 to 140. I wouldn’t be surprised if it catches up to him against Ryan, and he is battered and beaten due to him being too weak from weight loss.

Interviewer: “So has your opinion of Haney changed since the Garcia fight?”
Afican American Bias: “Naaa is all good.”
Everybody else: “Of course! Weight, PED’s or not, he got his ass seriously whooped! Before I buy into him again, he needs to hop on the come back trail ASAP to see what he’s got left!”

Well he's still the champ at 140 so Lopez should go after that belt

He's not, actually. He vacated the belt and Albert Puello is now the champ.

Haney? Who gives a f.uck..
I wouldn't watch his racist pus.ssy a.ss even if they paid me 69.99. Fu.ck him his pops and everyone who thinks highly of him.
he is a POS human.

[garfios]

My advise to him, move on. He needs to heal mentally.

[Hands of Stone]

We throw great around too loosely. Haney is a good fighter, I 'll maybe give him very good fighter but he was never great even when he was on his high. The Garcia fight is just a weird one 'cos 'yes' Garcia ultimately tested positive and that would cover up a lot of Haney's deficiencies but the amateurish traits Haney showed in that fight when he finally had a fight against a young twitchy fast and explosive fighter was just inexcusable. The fact that everyone knew what weapon Garcia was going to deploy but yet Haney keep getting caught with that left hook is just telling that his boxing IQ is no where near what he was given credit for. Haney's lack of power and infighting is even more atrocious. Fair or not, that fight will be the barometer to judge him moving forward unless he is somehow able to land some great fights including a Garcia rematch and redeem himself in a big way else fast twitchy punchers will be salivating to take him on. One thing for sure, he needs to stay off 147 unless he's fighting Mario Barrios.

Racism is so real ain't it buddy?

I'm Black, btw, and if you've read my comments, while I think Haney is a decent boxer, I don't rate him that high.

You're a loser, Internet coward, btw

Who really cares?
