    Haney is not Floyd

    Just my observation. Not as hard to hit and not as fast/slick. Good fighter but I don't know if he has superstar potential.

        Yea he is nowhere near being close to Floyd lol.. he is pretty boring despite knocking out few bums..

        Floyd fought good competition at that stage and was alot more exciting.

              That’s the main problem right now in boxing. Everyone is waiting for the next Mayweather, Pacquiao, Roy Jones. All those active boxers are good/great boxers, but not extraordinary with once in a lifetime type of all around talent and skills.

                All 3 of those guys were great, but I think there was a lot of smoke and mirrors/nice matchmaking/hype going on with those 3 guys at times too. Floyd had stuff to critique about him but he is just a more physically gifted fighter to me than Devin, and Devin seems bigger frame-wise too.

                    Yeah I have only watched like 4 rounds tonight because it was pretty boring. Floyd was ATG at lower weights in my eyes, idk what to make of Haney. Would love to see him step up now like Teo did but not sure if that is in the cards for his team right now.

                    I mean Floyd was great but I could critique stuff on him too. But Haney, idk, he looks kind of awkward in there, and not in a good way. I always liked him but after tonight I'm just kind of like 'meh'
