“And then as far as his skills, I feel like he’s just one notch below great. He does everything well,” Keyshawn says. “He has nothing great in his arsenal. Everything is just okay. It’s good. It’s good. It’s good. Which makes him a good fighter. But he’s just not with the elite of the elite.”
The comments came during an appearance on the “What’s Up That Podcast,” where Davis spent much of the interview discussing Haney, Gervonta Davis, Shakur Stevenson and the effects of missing weight for his canceled fight against Edwin De Los Santos last year.
Keyshawn said he approached Bill Haney earlier this year to make the fight happen, but apparently the other side has since gone quiet.
“You might see the video before. Shakur and I at the weigh-in of this last fight in January, I walked up to Bill. Long story short, I’m like, ‘Yo, we’re going to fight this year, right?’ He said, ‘Man, mind your business.’ I said, ‘I’ll handle my business. Are we going to fight this year?’ He said, ‘Just keep your word after the fight.’
Davis then said:
“After the fight, why don’t I fight Devin now? If you want to call it a duck, call it a duck.”
He also questioned whether Haney has looked the same since his loss to Ryan Garcia.
“Don’t you think the same? The world doesn’t think the same.”
Still, Davis acknowledged Haney showed toughness by continuing to stand up during the Garcia fight.
“I give him a lot of credit as a fighter. It’s not easy to come back from.”
The interview delved into several possible future fights, including matches with Haney, Conor Benn, Tank Davis, and even influencer boxing events. Keyshawn has repeatedly said he wants the biggest fights available and claims fans are already demanding tougher opposition for him.
