from the home of coca-cola, i'm not referring to s
I rocked with dev for a period but then during that period I was like dude lame and then he went from trend setter with the dapper Dan fits to typical gen z entertainer with the fashion stuff and ig thot wifing.

the clean cut, well spoken, disciplined (boxing wise and with Islam) is what made me rock with dev initially. Imo he needs to keep the momentum up. He should snatch rolly belt as even though it isn’t huge money there will be a ton of viral moments with the build up and then fight the teo/matias winner in fall or winter and then Ryan in 2025 to start the year.

if he succeeds he cements himself as best of his generation and like I mentioned he can be the saudis poster child and make his real money from them. After Ryan he can move to 147 and snatch 1-2 Belts and then 2026/27 aim for boots at 154. He would have done this all before 30 and after that he can be on his canelo shyt doing what he wants
He's already the best of his generation.. Hes lapped his contemporaries and did so in a Very short time..the rest of them nikkas have to try to keep up or catch up

I was saying haney isn’t a PPV fighter and nikkas was acting like I was a hater.

I was telling my boy it was dumb for haney to do a ppv after a very controversial win in his last fight. A lot of people thought he lost that fight so why would they buy his next PPV.

This should have been on free tv.

People will argue it’s between him and teo so imo have teo knockoff Matias if he can and then Devin knock off rolly and then saudis bankroll teo vs Devin undisputed. Have Ryan get a win streak in parallel and then Ryan vs teo/devin winner as a prize fight in Vegas.

This is why I constantly laugh at Haney stans who go overboard on Haney

Is he an upcoming star? Yes he is. But enough is enough trying to put him prematurely like he is a Top P4P #1 fighter when he is none of those things yet
He strategically picked the least talented credible opponent with a belt in Regis Prograis, and you got his stans shouting to the heavens on a decent win like he's the king of the hill

But when you bring up that he should be fighting Boots or Bud, then all of a sudden it's :whoa::whoa::whoa:. I thought he was too big for everyone in his weight class, why not fight people his size then?

Not even that, when you just suggest for him to fight tougher competition at 140 like Teo or Matias there's this run around and juelzin. Then the conversation immediately switches for him to fight Ryan Garcia :deadrose::deadrose:

And when he did up his level of competition and fought Loma, he left ALOT to be desired, and that is putting it very lightly
He's the one fighting Loma and Prograis...not Shakur or Tank. Period.

Haney should be fighting on free tv and doing fights that are affordable in Cali and Atlanta just to build that wide net

exactly.

Haney put on an amazing performance and not many people seen it.
Yeah that model tank is following is dated and won’t fly under the new era of media much longer.

imo the smart model is to cast a wide net so you have eyes on your fights and highlights so you can go viral and finesse that into sponsorships, and get enough of a fan base where saudis can bankroll your big fights every few years.

look at Ryan if you have enough eyes on you companies will worry about ROI Later for actual fights since you can bring in money via branding.

dudes like shakur are gonna get left behind.

They can argue all they want but only one of them has been Undisputed(Thanks to Loma) and only one of them is undefeated (Thanks to Killa Kambosos :mjlol:).. the rest of what you saying I'm cool with.. they can have a mini tournament.. Just brings Devin even closer to being 2x undisputed further lapping his contemporaries once again
