Bill Haney says that his son, Devin, will wake up the 147 LB division as he did to a light and light Welter weight. Haney (31-0, 15 ko) could collapse in his next fight against Jose Ramirez in May even before cutting his teeth at 147.
Ramirez test
The soothsayer against the former Welter WBC and WBO Ramirez weight champion (29-2, 18 KB) is an update to prepare him for a revenge match with Ryan Garcia in October. Haney must exceed Ramirez, 32, to arouse interest in the Revenge match.
Turki al-Sheikh will probably still put Haney-Garcia’s revenge match, even if Jose Ramirez Bat Devin, but the interest of the fans will not be there in these circumstances.
“If we had beaten Ryan as we would and we were supposed to do it when he behaves well in the fight, the revenge match is much more money,” said Bill Haney ThaboxingvoiceThinking about Devin Haney’s defeat against Ryan Garcia last April.
“If we had burned [him] And it was a victory and decisive, no one would pay the fight again. But thanks to Turki Al-Sheikh, who intensified. The controversy is sold, and all that is happening is in the Welter weight division.
“We know that the Welters weight division has historically been the Sugar Ray Leonards, Duran, Errol Spence, Terence Crawfords, Floyds, Bertos, Keith Thurmans have historically earned more money.”
Bill is right that the revenge match is more worth due to the loss of soothsayer. If he had beat Kingry as many expected, a second fight would be useless, especially if the victory was unilateral like the victories of Haney on George Kambosos Jr. and Regis Prograis. This worked in favor of Devin to lose last April.
Haney was spoiled by not remaining active in the last 10 months since the defeat because he could have fought twice and make millions. So that the former world champion with two divisions Haney sat on the shelf, a lack of confidence and reluctance in risking the mega-money he can make during the revenge match with Ryan.
Bill talks about the former great Leonard, Duran and Mayweather, but these guys remained active. They wouldn’t have done what Haney did if they had been beaten. If Devin was cut off from the same fabric as these fighters, he would have returned to the ring now and had fought one of the best contenders at 140.

“So Devin has brought excitation to light weight [division]; He woke up the 140 lb division and we plan to take the 140 lb division. It’s no different, ”said Bill Haney.
For Haney to make his mark at 147, he will have to prove himself against Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis and Eimantas Stanionis. They are the best two in Welter weight. It will not be enough for Devin to defeat the WBC champion, Mario Barrios, who is considered the weakest link among the champions of the division.
- Jaron Ennis
- Eimantas Stanionis
- Brian Norman Jr.
At this point, I doubt that Haney can beat the WBO champion Brian Norman Jr., and he is undoubtedly the third best of belt belt holders.
