Devin Haney

Post by Badhusker »

I know he is young, but he looks like he has huge potential as an excellent boxer. Floyd Sr. claims he got the best of Gervonte Davis in sparring. If you haven't seen him yet...

Back in April 2016 Mayweather Snr said Haney could beat Broner, he only had 4 or 5 pro fights at that stage. He said Broner and Haney had sparred and Haney 'whupped his ass'

IMO Haney is a future world champ. Had an excellent amateur at the youth/junior level and has been busy as a pro!! :box:

Looks good to the eye so far, though he's been facing weak opposition.

Anyone know what's up with all the fights in Mexico? Not something common among hyped prospects without Mexican heritage.

Did Mayweather sr go to Mexico with him?

I can imagine some interesting nocturnal scenes as he tries to procure what he needs for himself
