Comments Thread For: Haney: Guys Better Fight Me Now; I'll Only Get Stronger, Better

[bigdunny1]

This kid is so young and gets better every fight. He's the most balanced fighter of all the young kids that turned pro in 2016 he is also the most level headed.

There are other kids from his signing class that are faster but have holes defensively. Guys who are stronger but have less ringIQ and skills. There are guys who have already caught court cases for jumping women Haney gets in zero problems outside the ring no drama associated with him. Seems like a genuinely good kid easy to root for.

Haney's decent but the fact of the matter is he'll never be a puncher. If you can punch you can punch, especially by age 20, Just look at Teofimo. Haney's actually a lighter puncher than I thought he'd be after watching him of late.

He'll get all around physically stronger and gain more experience but the brute strength just isn't there imo.

What a coincidence that Haney won't fight anyone dangerous until he matures!

This young man has a very bright future ahead of him, if he continues to listens to his dad and block out all of the outside distractions.

So far, this kid has demonstrated a very level head on his shoulders. If he can only stay off the streets, out of trouble, focus on boxing and he should do just fine.

If you relate to boxer's "words" as if those are actual "actions" and post it then you don't need to add your signature at the end.
Also, I don't think Haney means people like Abdualev as a target of his messages. You said yourself '...to fight against Loma' meaning those who to his own words allegedly can beat him now.

This dude, or "clown" as you refer, is trying to imply that "Haney won't fight anyone dangerous until he matures." I can't find where it says that anywhere. This is a case of a bias affecting one's personal perception. Whether it's because of who he's associated with or not, I dunno.
IMO, he's already facing a dangerous opponent in Moran. To look past Moran would be a big mistake. The two have faced similar opposition up to this point, with Moran having fought Pedraza well, and also at a heavier weight last time out. As of tonight, Haney's days of fighting anyone out of the top 15 are over, however you want to construe his statements.

Objectively, all he is saying is, "I'm young now, and improving EVERY fight. If anyone has even a chance to beat me, it's NOW , before I get even better". He's not saying anything about, "I'm avoiding the dangerous guys until I'm older"
It's a very diplomatic attempt at 'trash-talk' for Haney. Compared with Teofimo, who is more brash and arrogant, this is Haney's display of confidence.
Whether or not he can back it up or not, I'm not sure, as I said, Moran is no slouch and will be his first real test, IMO.

you looking real foolish right now. He just had a knockout of the year candidate against a guy who has never been knockout but Devin isn't a puncher? SMH

Get real. Any decent boxer is going to get KO's especially if fighting someone tailor made for your style

Devin literally put all he had into that punch. He knows how to set up his shots and break people down which is good.

But you seem to not know what a puncher is. Some of the hard counters he was landing early in the fight should have put that dude down and I was surprised that they didn't because he didn't see many of them coming.

Teofimo Lopez is the definition of a puncher. Haney breaks guys down.

[j.razor]

I know he is young but call me when he fights someone with a pulse. Hes been a -5000 favorite his entire career every fight lol.

Tell l0m0 to get in the ring with him then.
