Bill Haney still wants Teofimo

There was talk of the fight between Haney and Theophim scheduled for August 16 in Riyadh. This no longer seems sustainable after Lopez burned the bridges of Alalshikh. Bill is like a dog that won’t let go of the old bone. Regardless of the ambition, Devin once had to win the world titles, it seems to be gone after Ryan Garcia swallowed and tasted millions.

Haney’s limited great capabilities

Devin has limited opportunities for big wages without Ryan Garcia or Theophimo. Apart from Teo, there are no popular fighters. In Welterweight are just champion Jaron Ennis and Conor Benn. Ennis will not fight the needy fighter like Haney, because he does not have a belt and leaves catastrophic performance.

Potential options

– Jaron Ennis
– Theophimo Lopez
– Ryan Garcia
– Shakur Stevenson

Lopez’s struggle is now the biggest money earner for Devin, after the cancellation of a rematch with Ryan Garcia after losing Roland ‘Rolly’ Romera on May 2.

“Teofimo Lopez sticks”, Bill Haney said on X. Devin Haney continues to work, “Bill Haney said on X.

Devin Haney: Business Man Now?

Bill did not show interest in targeting any other top 140 pounds, such as Gary Antuanne Russell or Richardson Hitchins. What some say about Devin could be true. He crossed from a fighter to being businessman Who is just focused on money at the moment. This sometimes happens, when fighters taste like money. They are focused that they are struggling with nothing but big plates fighting and rejecting anything else. Waiting for these big salaries to fall into their circles often takes a year or more.

Fans want Bill and Devin for now to forget about Teofimo. They want to see Haney (32-0, 15 ko) prove against one of the best fighters at 140 or 147. However, it seems that Bill and his son lost all interest in the risky struggle from their loss from Ryan last year in April.

They left the ring all year long as they returned against faded Jose Ramirez on May 2. It was a terrible performance of Haney, who ran 12 rounds, throwing only a few shots in the most natural performance on Times Square.

If Haney was still interested in competing against the best and conquered belts, he would have tone opportunities for his next fight. There are a lot of candidates from 140 to 154 that Devin could fight and earn well. He probably won’t do it because his focus has changed.
