Devin Haney has never beaten a top fighter in his prime

Prograis - Arguably over the hill, definitely didn't look like he made a big effort to win. This was at 140lbs, Haney moved up in weight and weighed more (165lbs) than Prograis (156lbs) on fight night, the guy who had been at 140lbs for a long period of time.
Loma - Haney lost to an old way smaller guy, but didn't matter anyway because he robbed Loma.
Linares - Shot, old way smaller Linares still managed to make Haney do a dance.
Gamboa - Clearly shot, clearly way past it.
Kambosos - average low volume puncher.

That's literally everything on Haney's resume. I, as well as many others, have been saying how overrated Haney is for a fairly long time. Despite consistently looking way bigger than his opponents, gets rocked over and over. Haney finally met someone his size, and with power, and got shown up.

Ryan Garcia and Haney are both trash weight bullies. They are discount OLDH and Floyd.

 

He finally fought a guy his size and got exposed

 

Agreed size was his biggest advantage I remember when Haney was in Australia and members of Kambosos team could not believe how big he actually was in the flesh for a lightweight.

 

Haney got a gift decision vs Lomachenko.

 

@NoChin Devin Haney never had the makings of a Varsity athlete.

 

There was a ton of support behind him trying to shine him up as the next big thing in boxing. That explained the robbery against Loma, commentators gloating over him, refs and judges biased for him, the WBC and Eddie Hearn promoting him like he was the second coming of Mayweather. Garcia shattered that illusion like he shattered Haneys jaw.

 

I am aware....

 

@NoChin small hands, that was his problem

 

Yeah agreed, I think he's a good fighter with some good skills which is why I predicted he would school Prograis, but he never really stood out for me as a fighter who was truly elite P4P material. After the gift in the Loma fight they tried to make him out to be something special but he always looked like nothing more than a good fighter, not a great one. If he had some real weapon like speed, power or crazy defence or work rate then maybe he'd be able to climb that next level but he's just a reasonably skilled guy who if anything overachieved.

 

He may not have the physical gifts of like a Tank or Teo, but I give Haney credit for being the most disciplined out of the 4 jesters

 

He smoked Kambosos twice which is his best performance.

He got the decision against Loma, not sure I think it's egregious enough to class as a certified robbery.

Prograis was a good win.

Haney is overhyped, but he unified 135 and beat a solid LWW

Very easily could have lost in his defense to Loma tho.

 

Neither has Crawford.

 

Nether did Marciano
