why you think that though? I like Bill and think he is good for Devin managerial wise (I dont agree with fathers being long term head trainers)
Devin not that far out the game like people think. He still has a great name and a good win puts him right back at the top. He does need a confidence builder/tune up (I hate using that term) he needs to get the rust off. Boxing is too much talking right now. Teo aint shyt til he get in the ring with all these people he runnin his trap about.
sad Devin is so vilified due to a fukkin cheat. boxing in some weird ass times.
Nah it's that most are thinking about his all wrong
I have no ill will towards Bill Haney. What he did to set up his son's Boxing career is remarkable and amazing in that aspect. But there comes a time when the star boxer has reached his cap with their original trainer/manager
Bill Haney is the one who keeps bringing Devin Haney into trainwrecks. The Ryan Garcia fight should have never happened. Classic case of "Cherry Picking gone Wrong". The Haney's saw Ryan Garcia as an easy lick, and they were dying to have that Floyd Mayweather-Arturo Gatti moment where Floyd beats the shyt out of shop-worn Gatti and gains a huge fanbase because of it and gained more leverage in the negotiating table. But they thought wrong and miscalculated. I find it funny how the Haney's want to play the innocent role when they were the ones feeding into Ryan Garcia being a racist psycho lunatic
On top of that. Devin Haney not being a KO artist, but somehow the gameplan was step to a power puncher, in an attempt to KO him, which is something Devin never did. Absolutely terrible gameplan for Ryan Garcia. Ryan was acting like a psycho 3-4 months prior to the fight, and they had multiple opportunities to cancel the fight, even had the Barbosa dude on the undercard they could have fought instead, and they still went ahead with it dying for the publicity and pay day
It is extremely hard for a star Boxer to also be their own manager/promoter. Everyone can't be Floyd, Oscar De La Hoya, or Sugar Ray Leonard. You are going to need a team around you. Larry Holmes and Julio Cesar Chavez had Don King. Lennox Lewis had Frank Maloney, Sweet Pea had Lou Duva, etc etc. To think Devin Haney is "the boss, and his father is following his lead" is straight up comical
No hate on Devin Haney, but it's time to separate the business relationship with his father, or bring in someone else and severely limit his role
