Paulie Malignaggi lit up in Devin Haney today and used him as an example of fighters today that carefully linked to poor opposition that paid too much.
Maligaggi points out that Haney’s CV was built on victories over ‘grandparents’, when he acted against Ryan Garcia, he was beaten. He is brought back by Turki al-Sheikh and used on several of his cards in the pipeline for 2025 and 2026.
“Big Pass” and wheelchairs
“You realized that Devin Haney was over -saturating when he returned from the Ryan Garcia battle and did not want to take 1.75 million to fight against Sandor Martin with a loss,” Paulie Maliggi said Fighting typeTo talk that Devin Haney is paid too much.
“When he didn’t want to fight Sandor Martin for $ 1.75 million with a hit on his image (against Ryan Garica), I’m like, ‘What in the f did you pay this man (Haney)? “His resume is filled with grandparents, and then he didn’t even beat Lomachenko. He just got the gift.
“The reason why it’s not much money for Devin Haney is because you have to ask yourself, ‘What in the world do you pay that guy to fight guys in wheelchairs? “What in the heck it was?
Haney’s resume
– Yurorkis Gamboa: 38
– Jorge Linares: 35
– King or Prograis: 35
– Vasily Lomachenko: 35
– Joseph ‘Jojo’ Diaz: 29
Haney is built like a product, packed with the Hip-hop look with the gold chains and bag of clothing, and connected to older rinsed fighters to market to the public. In fact, he was a good basic fighter fighter, but linked to poor opposition to make him look better than he is.
‘Is it just the Saudi that over saturated the market, or is the West manufacturing stars deliberate, chooses who they want to produce and then make them (false) stars? Devin Haney fought guys in pension houses and paid a lot of money, ”Paulie said.
It’s not just Haney that the promoters create false stars. Many of them are built, and they are protected with matches in what seems to be a purpose to get cash.
Mayweather’s Shadow
In Haney’s case, the promoters may have felt that there was potential to use him to Floyd Mayweather Jr. To fill his empty shoes after he retires. He had a mayweather-like style, minus the hand speed and ring IQ. He looked like an imitation of MayweatherAnd it worked with the fans who were desperate for a replacement. Haney slides into his shoes and is linked to the opposition to create him.

“Jorge Linares was knocked out by Pablo Cano in 2017,” Maligaggi said. “Haney fought him (Linares) in a main event in 2019. Cano knocked out Linares in one round. That’s what Shot Linares was like. In 2019 (Correction: May 29, 2021), the most important meeting of Haney against Linares was sold as Linares, the former champion, the former pound-by-pound man. He did it with three super old guys. “
Haney didn’t even look good against the Shopeworn Linares, as he was late in the fight and forced to keep uninterrupted to escape the twelve -free without beating out in 2021. There must have been points of Haney for everyone he owned as soon as he got hurt.
“It was like taking Muhammad Ali with Parkinson and putting him in the ring (to use as Haney’s opponent to build him in a fake star). Jojo (Diaz), but he was not at the level of Linares and Gamboa in their primes. It is clear that he (Haney) robbed to the bag. For me, he didn’t win the Lomachenko match, ”Maligaggi said.
