Davin Haney or Gervonta Davis ? Who is the better fighter right now ?

Who ? Why ?

Not sure, the sky is the limit for both of them. Hopefully loma gets in with at least one of them. Not holding my breath.

Both with enormous potential. I probably enjoy tank more right now, but it's close.

Both are excellent fighters with great potential

Tanks seems to be a bit higher on the raw talent like power and speed, but Haney might be a smoother boxer. Hopefully we see them vs top opponents soon, I think they can win at that level and shine.

Let them fight and we get answer

A while back Haney fought on ShoBox in Shreveport, I wish I'd have got a press pass to that, but I didn't know about it until it was already pretty close to fight day. Haney would've definitely been a good one to have had the chance to cover as he'll almost certainly be going on to big things in Boxing.

I am not optimistic concerning this fight. I suppose Haney will move up at LWW soon, Davis will stay at LW, and Loma will get back at SFW. This is a very possible scenario, unfortunately. BTW, I think the both of them (Davis and Haney) would defeat T. Lopez, Commey and R. Garcia.

Im not sure who is best from Loma, Davis, Haney, Lopez, Commey and Garcia, but i am damn sure we boxrec users will get old while waiting on some serious fights. That is the bet i would put my money on. :( :( Lomachenko vs Lopez - Commey winner seems at least real in near future.

Today, Loma is the best, definitely, but the father time is not on his side.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if both of them beat him now. Obviously he ranks ahead on resume though.

He's definitely the #1 rated lightweight. Not sure that he's the best. If he fought berchelt, Lopez, Davis and Haney I don't see him winning all of them. He doesn't look like he's slipping to me. They're all really good and Lopez, Haney and Miguel pose size issues.

In my opinion you’d have to put tank in there with the size issues if you are saying Lopez.

I watched Lopez and tank spar recently on YouTube. Tank looked quite a lot bigger. He must be still growing as he looked extremely muscular but also with a big frame. I’d be interested to know what he walks around at.

It was only one or two rounds but Tank looked the superior fighter, shifting from fighting on the back foot to the front foot in the proceeding round.

Haney will the better IQ, Tank with the better power.

But it's Haney with the better future and higher ceiling.

Tank isn't any bigger than loma.

Tank looked like Teo's daddy there, at least at the end. And ya he did look bigger, though funny enough actually looking them in the ring I never would've thought that'd be the case. Tank doesn't look so big in fights even at 130 while Teo looks a good solid LW.

KiwiRider · Post by **KiwiRider** » 18 Oct 2019, 14:16

I can understand the votes for "undecided"
It's easy to get on the hype train, especially for a hard hitter like Davis.
Call me pedantic, but I'm yet to be sold on either guy.

He must have had a growth spurt. Think you can keep growing until you are 25. The name tank really suits him now looking at his build in that video.

Got heated at the end. Thanks for the drop.

There is video of Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney sparring. i thought Shakur got the better of Haney in that sparring.

You thought Tank was the superior fighter? He hardly threw a punch in the first two minutes. He very well could win between the two guys, but looks like TL did better over-all to me.

margaret thatcher · Post by **margaret thatcher** » 22 Oct 2019, 13:50

He toyed with Teo there, and was already beating him up when he actually started throwing at the end. Sparring is obviously just sparring though. But Tank's ability is top-notch.

Yes I saw that too. It seemed that he planned on going on the back foot, teo really wasn’t able to settle and land on him anything significant - then Tank switched it up and fired a few shots, in that switch up and yes only sparring but I saw him boss teo.

Tanks no doubt very good. Has great potential. I rate him more than Hanley. I of course want to see him fight a name, I don’t mind the Gamboa fight though,

BTW, Lomachenko says that he wants to fight both of them (Davis and Haney) in 2020. It might be very hot next year.

IKSRTFO · Post by **IKSRTFO** » 23 Oct 2019, 14:58

Not sure but I'm more sure that Haney is more willing to find out than Davis.

Who will Loma be fighting for the rest of this year?
