Do you think Devin Haney will ever be the same?

No, he has been Broner'ed

 

I just don`t think Khan had proved much before that match-up.

 

Khan may not have proven much but he was heralded as the next big thing out of Britain. Very good amateur and Olympic medal. Nocking out almost everyone before the Prescott fight. Regardless , this isn't about what they have done in their career. This is about getting your chin cracked and never being the same. Khan was never the same after getting stopped.

So curios to see how Haney bounces back when he gets clipped again and he will.

 

Khan was exactly the same after getting knocked out, same reckless mistakes.

 

And Haney eating 9 left hook from a guy that just had a left hook isnt reckless? Like I said, it remains to be seen if Haney learned. You are reiterating my point.

 

It depends if he can get his confidence back, a first loss can be devastating to a fighter. He needs a couple of good wins under his belt, and maybe try to avenge his defeat to Garcia at some point.

 

sure he can be the same. What helps is to have a punch, which might be a detriment with Haney. When Tommy and Roberto lost big fights they still had power, even Roberto at higher weights had a good right hand..

 

Garcia is a lot better than Khan was.

 

Haney isn`t an offensive fighter in the way Hearns and Duran were, can you imagine what Hagler would have done to Haney? Duran was on another level.

 

Does anybody really think he’s ever going to win another title?

 

I dispute less confident.....................and more cautious, Cotto at 147 before Margarito had already started maturing into a boxer/puncher, he was already starting to be more cautious. Then these 2 losses are nothing alike. Cotto was beating Margarito before falling apart (for whatever reasons). Then he actually eventually got his revenge. Cotto won another belt in the same weightclass, went up and collected more belts/accolades than went up again and collected more becoming the actual lineal champion and stayed a p4p fixture throughout the rest of his career. Then punched into the HOF. The Margarito loss was a setback but the rest of his career more than made up for that setback.

Haney shouldn't be compared to Cotto, Cotto bounced back and continued on his stride to greatness. We don't know what Haney is gonna do, he might get clipped again, there's an abundance of gunslingers at that weight. Ryan ain't even the hardest hitter there. We won't find out anything about Haney until he fights his next hitter (not his next fight because I think it may be a softer touch).

 

I just hope Haney doesn't get all defensive minded and ruin his killer instinct.

 

Depends on who he fights for a title.

 

Other than the Popobawa, that's the thing I fear the most.
