Coach Jeff Mayweather says it’s a foul concept for Devin Haney to take day off to attend a 12 months or extra on a rematch with Ryan Garcia.
Staying Lively vs. Ready for Rematch
Jeff feels Haney ought to keep energetic along with his profession as a result of he’s in his prime at 25 and beneficial properties nothing by sitting on the sidelines ready on Ryan. On a regular basis out of the ring will go away Haney stewing on his loss, and that’s not good for him. It could be detrimental to Haney’s profession to take a 12 months or extra off.
Some followers really feel that Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) lacks the boldness to remain energetic as a result of he’s nervous they’ll get overwhelmed within the subsequent 12 months after which lose out on the profitable rematch with Ryan.
If Haney had religion in his skill to win, he might keep busy and proceed to get good paydays whereas ready for Ryan’s one-year suspension to finish. Haney has loads of choices at 140 towards IBF champion Liam Paro and WBO champ Teofimo Lopez.
Each champions are fascinated about combating Haney, and they might be good-laying fights. Perhaps not as a lot as what Haney would make in a rematch with Ryan, however it will be higher than sitting inactive and making nothing.
“He’s in his prime. I don’t assume he ought to take that a lot day off. I do know he’s going to be coaching and nonetheless some type of form. Nonetheless, two years is a very long time,” stated Jeff Mayweather on his YouTube channel, speaking about Devin Haney eager to take a 12 months or two off after his loss to Ryan Garcia.
It solely is sensible for Haney to sit down out of the ring if he’s misplaced his self-belief and not feels he’s able to beating the top-tier opposition. If Haney did keep busy, he would probably be supplied fights towards Teofimo, Paro, Alberto Puello, Isaac Cruz and Shakur Stevenson. It’s questionable whether or not Haney beats any of these fighters, particularly if his punch resistance has gone downhill.
Mayweather’s Recommendation
“You’re taking two years off solely to battle Ryan when there are lots of people in line ready to get their probability to battle for a world title. Clearly, it’s going to be in your head [the loss], however it’s going to be extra in your head in case you take that lengthy simply to attempt to proper that mistaken that occurred to you. That’s a very long time,” stated Jeff.
Haney wouldn’t have to attend two years for a rematch with Ryan, however it will be at the very least a 12 months, and that’s not a good suggestion except he’s misplaced his religion in successful fights. It simply looks like Haney is specializing in that closing payday and may select to retire afterward if it goes badly for him.
Did the loss to Ryan take Haney’s self-confidence away completely? Haney wouldn’t be the primary fighter that retirement after a loss.
“I don’t assume it’s clever to take two years off simply to attend on anyone that beat you,” stated Jeff. “It don’t take two years. You’re ready on a man [Ryan] that fought you on your world title. You didn’t battle him for his world title. So why are you ready for a man who bought caught dishonest and fought you?”
It doesn’t make sense in any respect for Haney to be ready on Ryan Garcia as a result of there are some attention-grabbing fights he might take after a straightforward tune-up to rebuild his confidence. If Haney will get a win over a light-weight puncher, he needs to be prepared for a much bigger check to maintain energetic whereas ready for Ryan.
“It’s possible you’ll battle him once more and he may use the identical factor or one thing totally different. I suppose they gained’t have Scooter this time,” stated Jeff.
