Devin Haney vs Keyshawn Davis will be the two last men standing at 147 lbs in 5 years.

It's a shame we will never watch most of the cubans turn pro.

 

Hard to predict 5 years from now. Just look at 175
Bivol hadn't even made his debut yet 5 years ago. Gvozdyk only had 3 fights against jouneymen. Beterbiev had just arrived on the scene with his destruction of Cloud, but was still largely unknown and Kovalev and Stevenson were the men to beat.
And the current P4P #1 was 2-1 at the time.

Things can change rapidly in boxing and 5 years is a long time.

 

vergil ortiz will own 147 in 5 years.

 

many paquiaco will deny father time and whip them all jk but that would be funny.

 

Haney ain't beating Ennis at welter.

 

This. It's almost impossible to tell the landscape 2 years into the future let alone 5.

 

Haney was never going to be that dude and now Keyshawn is going to have Andy Cruz problems in the pro game as well.

 

Keyshawn was always gonna have problems in the pros any way. I don't rate him higher than guys like Stevenson, Tank, Haney, etc; although I suppose it's unfair to compare him to those guys yet, given they're well into their pro careers and he isn't.

 

No.

Haney is a very talented guy and extremely skilled but he has zero power at 135 and he won't have any at 147 either. His chin is also a bit suspect considering how easily Linares rocked him. The big boys at 147 will walk him down and destroy him.

Davis is as talented as Haney but his style is pretty tough for the pro game. I don't think he'll have much success. Can see him losing as soon as he steps up. He needs a lot of adjustments to make it in the pro ranks.

 

Haney cant crack an egg, no one cares about Davis & being African American only has any relevance to race baiters/grifters

**** thread

 

I disagree on that one, I think Keyshawn is on par with Stevenson and well above Tank and Haney. I consider him easily a future world champ and the best US prospect in the last thirty years.
He has Teo-like athletic ability with a far greater boxing IQ and more skills. I just think Andy Cruz is that good.
Why don’t you rate Keyshawn? I’ve seen only strengths and no weaknesses.

 

In what way isn’t he suited for the pro game? I think he’s ideal for it, heavy handed and agressive, a devastating power puncher who is calm while firing power shots in the pocket. He looks far more devastating and complete than guys like Floyd and Ward were when they were at the same stage of their pro careers.
He’s fairly similar to Haney in style and skill but with more far more athleticism and power.
