    I think Haney and Teofimo beat most of these guys at 135 right now besides Loma and mikey garcia of course.

    135 is going to be real interesting in a couple years when Gervonta Davis and Berchelt move up. You also can't forget about Balderas and Ryan Garcia.

      He needs a bit more seasoning and experience to be confident about picking him against the top 10 but the kid has tremendous talent and potential. I’d confidently pick him over Easter but I’d pick Campbell to beat him at this point. He’s obviously a ways off Loma and Mikey but I’d bet him against most of the top 10.

        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.
        It would all come down to which Robert Easter shows up. I tend to believe that Easter probably learned a thing or two about himself against Mikey.

          He didn't seem to learn much about himself in all those close call fights. And that camp tend to be great at repeating mistakes over & over.

            Call me crazy but...

            ALL besides Vasyl Lomachenko and Mikey Garcia of course IMO

            Richard Commey power and High Activity/Pressure style could trouble him as well but I feel at 19 right now, Haney probably gets by most of them off of Pure Talent and Natural Ability. That quickness will be hard to deal with, only negative I see in the kid so far is that he likes to fight with his mouth open. Also doesn't have "BIG ONE PUNCH KO POWER" but he most certainly have the skills already to probably Out-Box Most even at just 19


            Want to See Devin Haney and Teofimo Lopez fight for Titles sometime next year I think they're the most Polish along with Stevenson as far as that next generation

              Haney is legit but I don't get the Teofimo hype. Just a hard punching brawler with a loud mouth, I don't see him being elite at all.

                Wth is up with that anyway? How do you got 130ish amateur fights, 20 pro fights, have worked with a ton of top boxers & top trainers since you were a reallllly lil kid (& your still a lil kid basically lol), are obviously talented in several ways & you can't fight with your mouth closed????

                Hell man I mastered that by the time I got to the sparring level back in the day. This cat has boxed competitively for just under 500 rounds & probably sparred several thousand rounds during his career up til now. Thats a broken jaw waiting to happen.

                  Just a Habit I guess as Steve Farhood mentioned during the fight last night. It is weird though and dangerous at the same time.

                    Watch his last fight against Silva. He has great reflexes and great counter punching ability.

                    He's kind of like Gervonta Davis where he likes to rely on his power at times but is also very skilled.
