    Correct analysis but a puncher's chance might be all he needs.

    I actually think that Tank is more skilled than Haney. Tank will force Haney to make a mistake at some point and he will land a brutal power shot that will put Devin in the dirt.

    It's just his fans overhyping him like some other boxers it's nothing really mysterious

    Tank by KO cause the fight would only happen at 135 and probably a rehydration clause...

    Haney is hard to beat when he boxes the whole fight. Tank is the best at setting traps and running his opponent into something. JoJo had some good success landing shots on Haney, that Tank would hurt or KO Haney! Tank has the hand and feet speed that will cause problems. I still favor Tank over Haney!

    Haney is too big and too good. I think that he Davis at arms length the entire fight. I don't think that Davis would be able to overcome those disadvantages

    Yup...

    Plus Haney's a big dude - the longer this doesn't happen, the less possible it becomes... Haney's got the frame to go up another division (and who knows, cutting less might actually make him better, it's happened before where trying to weight bully too hard stops a fighter producing their best).

    Tank's an unrepentant hypejob with no interest in taking the big fights now or ever in future... Maybe if he takes a loss he'll finally man up, but even then I doubt it.

    Or he might get humiliated... Weirdly, refusing to prove it can get you a better reputation than fighting the best you can get your hands on and taking an occasional loss.

    Weird thing, boxing.

    I seriously hope Tank and his team find the courage to actually face Haney. Personally I think Haney most likely outboxes Tank silly but there's always a chance of Tank dropping Haney badly and likely stopping him while behind on points. This is another big potential fight that they cannot afford to let it go to waste, especially while they're both still in their prime.

    Tank loses every second of every round...but lands a crushing right hand on Haney's unstable chin late in the fight and wins by KO.
    Haney has been able to mostly avoid big punches through his excellent defence and footwork. But Linares revealed his Achilles heel, or rather Achilles Chin.

    Skill wise it is very close, but Haney has a point scoring offense and Tank seems to be looking for KO's and doesn't care too much about activity,

    Tank is a very slow starter, you could say he is downloading data or setting traps but that seems too dangerous if the fight goes to the cards.

    I think Haney takes the 1st 2 or 3 rounds easily and then 4-6 will be a bit closer.

    If Tank is down 5 rounds at half way then its pretty easy for Haney to win and thats how I see it.

    Tank can only win by corruption on the cards unless he gets multiple KD's.

    So I give Tank a decent punchers chance but only a punchers chance and I am a big fan of his.

    Tank is one of my favourite fighters because of his killer instinct but I just want him to throw more punches.

    Even against LSC it was close before the KO, that was all to do with activity
    Haney is MUCH MUCH better than LSC

    I just dont think Haneys chin is that bad and he does have balls IMO

    Tank might just be like Canelo and gain both power and stamina moving up though I suppose

    Where do fans get this narrative than Devin is great defensive boxer?

    Before Garcia, Linares/Diaz/Loma all hurt Haney and had no problem finding their power shots to land. Haney keeps his head in the center line. He uses his feet, but lacks timely upper body/head movement. Diaz had a losing record at 135, Linares was 36 and had a losing record at 135 as well. These were cherry picks Devin got caught by. We seen the abuse Ryan Garcia did. What defense will Devin have against Isaac Cruz, Gary Atuanne Russel or Subriel Sub Zero Matias?

    I also present the fact that Gervonta Davis posses better defensive skills than Devin and I've witness Davis fight on his back foot, use the ring and his jab.

    There's nothing Haney does that's special to suggest Haney survives a fight with Davis. Haney career has been manufactured ever since he landed in Tijuana. Haney first 19 opponents were 114-149. Most of Haney KOs have been in Mexico with guys his own fans can't name.

    American fighters get pushed to be the next baby face or face of boxing. Unfornately for Devin, he was never born to be a fighter. His pimp father saw the money in boxing and invested in the best trainers for his son. Bill isn't even a boxing coach. Devin got his training from pro coaches and Bill has pushed Devin into the best fighter you can buy. However, when I say born to be a fighter I mean guys like Duran, Hagler, Juan Manuel Marquez, Tyson...guys who came from nothing and just were inspired what was innated in them. When Devin gets hit, he does not get angry. He doesn't get vengeful. Devin looks scared and defeated. Born fighters don't reveal such weakness even after taking a shot. It was never in Devin Haney to display fearlessness. Against a guy like Matias, Subriel will send Devin to hell. Devin Haney WILL never unify 140, I promise that.
