Comments Thread For: Devin Haney: Lopez, Davis, Garcia Are Good - But I'm Special!

[Boxing Goat]

Wow sounds like such a child, "I'm special, my yes men tell me so". I liked Haney but his recent remarks are taking away from that. He should have been able to stop Gamboa buy played it too safe. You got to entertain a little if you are gonna run your mouth.

I'm okay with confidence but saying this before proving it even in the least bit comes off a bit like Broner to me

[illpapi]

Ok, this guy is seriously delusional. "I'm special"? I'm done. Yeah, that performance against Gamboa was definitely special. I was never sold on this kid and watching his last fight didn't change my point of view of him. I just don't see it.

[F l i c k e r]

That's going to be the downfall of this guy.

He fights like he is imitating James Toney, all without the natural ability and boxing IQ of James Toney.

He's rough around the edges right now, very rough but with that Zab Judah like mentality, he's going to get stopped before really starting.

The most talented of that group is Tank Davis and to a smaller degree maybe Ryan Garcia.

Davis and Garcia are briefcase fighters, Lopez and Haney are lunch pail fighters.

[JuanSkinner]

A bit harsh from everyone. The dude is just young and doing just fine .

[sicko]

I don't see "Special" I don't see any of these Current fighters as "Special"

Haney is very Skilled for such a young fighter with a Phenomenal Work Ethic. So while he is not as exciting stylistically as the others to the Casual Viewer, I do think his style and skills will likely Carry Him Further than the rest even without that "Big Power" because with his style he will take less Punishment

He is what he is a BOXER, sorry to disappoint but it is no "MAN STRENGTH" coming for Haney nor do I think he should feel the need to change his style and try to chase KO's to impress fans and to keep up with Tank and Teofimo because that is just not his style. Put on Boxing Lessons and if the KO comes then it comes if it doesn't then it doesn't

Always agreed with Teddy Atlas and Mike Tyson analogy about Big Punchers: "Punchers Are Born Not Made"


so no Haney is not going to ever become a Big Puncher like Teofimo or Tank

Devin I'M DREAMING Haney

[Lemonhead_Jeff]

Instead, he should have said "They are good, but I am PERFECT",
and then throw a football and run to catch his own pass.

Sorry, his quote just reminded me of something Curt Hennig might
have said.

Man Haney is getting so annoying and he’s so insecure aswell. He is not special nor is he that good.

Teo is special Ryan might be special with that speed and power and Tank looks ordinary but also has special power.

Haney has non of those he’s the most basic of them all.

[hitmanjosh]

He’s a killer in the gym on pads maybe

But at least he believes in himself him and his dad but we all know Gervonta will tap that a_s for real! I’m not even sure he can beat Garcia looking like he’s looking. In fact I’ll give him #4 at Lightweight only because he has a belt. I’m not saying the kid doesn’t have talent the other are just more complete at this point and in time he could prove us all wrong; but right now, go sit your a_s down son!
