Who Could Haney Beat in the Top 10 at 135?

[Eff Pandas]

Devin Haney was saying before his fight last night that he'd like a title fight next. Who do you think he could beat in his next fight of the top ten indie ranked guys at 135?

Latest TBRB Rankings:

Vasyl Lomachenko
Mikey Garcia
Jorge Linares
Jose Pedraza
Robert Easter
Luke Campbell
Richard Commey
Anthony Crolla
Ray Beltran
Yvan Mendy

I only see him beating Pedraza, Crolla, and maybe Beltran. He's smoking some good **** if he thinks he can hang with Mikey or Loma.

I can't really say much about the kid since he's highly untested. That fight against Burgos was a good experience and a confidence builder since Burgos has fought some of the top guys before but I wanna see Haney up against a variety of styles first at a higher level than Burgos and then we can have that discussion about him against the very top guys.

He looks like he has a lot of tools but I wanna see his chin get tested and I wanna see him pressured first before I can say anything about him.

You don't think he'd beat Easter?

Thats actually the best fight for him I feel like. Its probably the best guy I think he's most likely to beat of the top ten.

Props for making the thread multiple choices.

I'd give him a chance against all of them except Loma & Mikey.

In two years or so when his grown man strength kicks in I'll give him a chance against those two also

He don't need to fight those dudes now he still young

- Roberto Ramirez
- Dejan Zlaticanin
- Edner Cherry
- Henry Lundy
- Alejandro Luna
- Rene Alvarado
- Argenis Mendez

Everyone besides Loma, Mikey, and probably linares. Still early but I think Haney is the real deal.

[Santa_]

He hasn't fought a live body yet but he passes the eye test.

I think the first five fighters in the poll beat him at the moment though.

[Mammoth]

Easter beats him

Of course he doesn't need to. But he seems to want to.

And respect to him for wanting to do it cuz he's already gotten himself on a much higher level in his last 2 fights & he should be fighting better guys if his talent/ability allows for it.
