      Yeah, that fight HAS to happen. The story line is too intriguing and it's a fun match making type of fight. It would be great for a unification at 147 but I would watch it without the belts on the line tbh.

        He stood there toe to toe and fought Norman, Jr like a man .and damn near knocked him out . This was clearly the best performance of his career.
        Norman jr isn’t all that great but i don’t actually dislike Devin. Bill is an absolute clown but i kinda like dev not for his style but more for his willingness to fight anyone

          There you have it! Now you are talking.

          For once,I can honestly say what you are saying at the moment is making good sense. Many boxing fans were shocked and surprised by Haney’s win but I was not one of them.

          I knew from the very start that Haney would be too much for Norman. Devin Haney has fought more than 9 former world champions in his career.

          Likewise, he was the more seasoned, developed, polished and fundamentally sound of the two fighters as well. With a much better resume’ and a higher Ring IQ too.

          Whoever, believed that a very green, unseasoned and underdeveloped novice opponent like Brian Norman, Jr could defeat a fighter like Devin Haney.

          Well obviously, they are not boxing fans and don’t understand the “sweet science” at all. Brian Norman, Jr is a good fighter.

          However, he needs more growth, seasoning, experience and development in order to compete on the same level of a Devin Haney.

            Whose crying? I just find it hilarious that you can’t admit Haney holds a lot and that it makes for boring fights.

            Turki literally came up with the phrase “Tom and Jerry fights” because of him.

              Some boxing fans are so obsessed with race that it has gotten to the point that when a black dude beats another black dude, you still better just say it was an awesome fight and that the winner was awesome.....because if you don't, it was because the guy who won was black, not because he illegally clinches and holds and stinks up the fight.

              Because the black guy he beat apparently wasn't "black enough". I guess if Norman had won and we all praised him for a good fight and beating Huggy, that would be acceptable. But I guess because Haney is a loudmouth who talks like an absolute KO artist killer instead of the awful clinchmaster he is, no one likes him because he is "black".

              It boggles the mind. I mean Crawford is my favorite fighter and I have been saying for years he doesn't get enough respect. But Crawford isn't "a real black guy" or something so I am still a racist. We all need to apparently love Haney and cheer for him because he is "black enough".

              Lunacy is hard to navigate. The real irony being that supporting a fighter who wins breaking the rules just because of his skin color despite his awful in ring style is ACTUAL racism. It is pretty funny.

                I'm no fan of Haney but you have to give him credit, 3 weight world champion and has built quite a good resume.

                I definitely didn't expect him to build the resume he has currently.

                  Ryan has no business whatsoever getting a title shot at 147. He just got washed by Rolly and hasn't fought since.

                    Rolly has to be at a live body at 147 first. Maybe Alexis Rocha or Giovanni Santillon.

                      It’s the victimhood mentality. Some people like to wallow in it and this becomes very toxic in the end.

                      You have to be pretty twisted up in the head to say that people are racist just because they wanted the other, more entertaining black guy to win.
