Comments Thread For: Devin Haney: I'm Willing To Sacrifice For The Big Picture

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

Mayweather Promotions looking like they're about to build a hell of a stable between, Haney, Jack and possibly Garcia. The relationship they have with Hearn can push them to being a top promotional company.

He got this kid named Alexis Santiago(bantamweight)also ranked #2. He's gone unnoticed but I like him

Are you going to act like a little bitch in every article about African-American fighters?

Why do you even respond to these weirdos? Most of these dudes all talk and ain't never won a fight a day in their lives. It's obvious that he feels inferior to people of color.

I call bs on amateur records. I need to start seeing some of those amateur boxing passbooks or whatever they are to confirm records & check out opponent strength.

And you are???????
You bloggers become more delusional each day.

Calm down mfer! It ain't that serious. Its a legit question man.

I'm just saying where are all these amateur guys with ****ty records. I think I've seen maybe 3 or 4 guys with losing amateur records since I've been following boxing. Where is the guy who's 92-77? Or are 200 of some guys 250 wins guys at the local or regional level who went 1-8 or 2-20 or something before quitting?

Also if you look at amateur records there are far too many guys with 100, 140, 200, 250 or wins ending in a 0. They are clearly rounding up or down or just making **** up sometimes with older cats who never had a passbook or had multiple passbooks & never really gave a f#ck about their amateur record. I'd be willing to bet.

Haney turned pro with a namesake promotional company already in hand. I feel like there is a solid chance he won't sign with anyone & just freelance for various promoters like he's doing now &/or fight under his own promotional company in the future.

The ironic thing for Mayweather is gonna be he kinda blueprinted this era's lack of a need for a promoter yet now is in the promoter business trying to convince these guys not to do what he did.

You probably don't hear about them because they never go pro. Think about it, how many guys with terrible college statistics do you see in the NBA or any league for that manner? None, because they couldn't make the cut. Same with televised boxing.

The 0 ending numbers are probably just estimates. I think Danny's was something like 138-21 or something crazy.

Gifted young fighter, would've been nice to see him compete in the Olympics first though, guys like him Timothy Lee, Erikson Lubin, all probably should still be Amature preparing for the Olympics but the Corruption is so BAD in Amateur and Olympic competition I don't blame kids for just turning pro early

Didn't know about that, but when he does need the leg work done he'll more than likely go to MP like Floyd did with GB. Now that you mention it, Garcia might be doing the same.

And yea I definitely agree & understand what you're saying, but I'm following boxing well beyond the televised level & I nerd out & look into prospects & not even prospects records at times & you'll almost never find a guy with even a sorta kinda bad record like Danny's (I mean legit thats in the top 5% of bad boxing amateur records, loss-wise I've seen among thousands & thousands of amateur records, although granted his 138-21 is a much high caliber record with his national pedigree than a guy who was 22-1, but never went past the local &/or regional level).

I'm just legit curious what a guy who's got 100+ wins & under double digit L's as an amateur opponent strength looks like. How many guys with losing records did he fight. How many guys with under 10 or 20 fights did he fight. That sorta thing.

Yea I definitely see him attaching himself to a promotion on a level like Floyd did with GBP at some point, but I doubt he signs with anyone for longer than a couple fights max & probably more like a fight by fight thing.

Haney's dad is allegedly a former pimp who's parlayed hooker money into businesses outside of pimping so I'm betting he's got his sons ear & will move him with the long game in mind over the short money. And thats for sure what they seem to be doing with all the social media Devin is already using & getting bigger on daily. If he's 1/3 as good as Floyd or Manny he's gonna be huge in 4-5 years.
