Gervonta Davis vs Devin Haney - who would win?

Haney can fight tall and use his skills but tank is a one shot ko artist. Tough fight to predict. I could see Haney outboxing tank to a win and I could see tank making Haney leave the ring on a stretcher.

 

"Davis will avoid Haney".

Not necessarily because he loses, but the odds aren't heavily enough in his favour.

Could go either way, both fighters overhyped - wouldn't be massively surprised either way.

 

davis catches him at some point

 

No way Tank ever fights Haney. Tank will wait until Haney grows out of the division. He might not be smart but he is a cherry picking expert. Can’t wait to see the stiff Tank digs up to be his next opponent. It won’t be Haney.

 

Tank knocks Haney out.

Haney has superior skills but his chin won't hold up against Tank.

 

I think Tank Walks Haney down all night & eventually stops him late.
People don’t give Tank enough credit for his boxing ability.

his power overshadows his boxing skills but he definitely knows how to set his power up for the killing blow.

it has every bit to do with the sweet science as hit & not get hit / “swim without getting wet”

 

Haney would school him. It should be obvious

 

I can't say who would win but it basically would go down as Haney being exceptionally boring and outboxing Tank with not a lot of action.
Tank could put him to sleep though no doubt and I do believe he would land clean.

I seriously doubt either guy is afraid of the other but I will say Tank is better than George so this wouldn't be some wipeout for Haney and Tank could put early rounds in the bank because I would seriously doubt Devin would commit too much until he found the range.

 

This would be an interesting matchup.

On the surface it seems to me that this is a stylistically bad matchup for Davis. Haney is taller with a longer reach and uses his jab to great effect. Also, Davis is not a busy fighter in the ring. He is careful and selective with his punches and that, along with, Haney's jab will make it very difficult for Tank to win a points decision.

The thing is that from a Davis point of view this is not a great matchup for Haney. Davis isn't concerned about winning decisions. As you know, he is all about the knockout and the man hits hard. To my way of thinking, Haney does not have a great chin. Linares shook him and so did someone else. I am not saying Devin has a glass jaw or anything like that I am just saying it is not his best trait. This gives Davis the kind of opportunity he needs.

I have Haney winning this but Davis has a very live puncher's chance.

By the way, for the life of me I cannot remember who the other guy was that shook Haney up with a good shot. Perhaps that has to do with being old enough to remember listening to Cassius Clay before he became champ and changed his name.

 

Prime Floyd would clean out the current 130 and 135 divisions. People forget how good Floyd was below 147.

 

At this point i'd say Haney, as Davis, although he looks good, hasn't fought anyone decent yet. Can't pick him with any real confidence so Haney by default.

But the much more likely scenario is Tank (or his handlers) wouldn't take the fight.

Also, for what it's worth, I would much prefer it if Davis KO'd Haney as Haney is dull as ditch water.

 

Not seen much of haney but looking forward to davis stepping up.

Rated him highly from early on....but a few big questionmarks remain....mindset, concentration and dedication. If he can answer them questions going forward tho....he could turn out better than people expect.
