Bill Haney revealed his 10-fighter \u201chit list\u201d for his son Devin Haney to take on, starting with Brian Norman Jr. on November 22nd. He says Devin (32-0, 16 KOs) has got to \u201cget through him\u201d to go to the next fighter on his list.<\/p>\n
Haunted By The Ryan Garcia Beating<\/strong><\/p>\n Haney, 26, looked terrified and overly cautious in his last fight against the aging veteran Jose Ramirez on May 2nd in Times Square. Devin appeared to be a mentally broken fighter, still haunted by the beating he took from Ryan Garcia in 2024.<\/p>\n Promoter Eddie Hearn said that Devin appears worried about his ability to take a punch. If Haney fights in a tentative way against Norman, he\u2019s not going to last long.<\/p>\n For Haney to fight any of the fighters on his last beyond the Brian Jr. one, he\u2019s going to have to fight with the old aggression that he\u2019d shown when he was campaigning at 135.<\/p>\n No Path To The Next Name<\/strong><\/p>\n Given the way Haney has performed in his last two fights, he has very little chance of getting to the next opponent on his list. If he gets obliterated by WBO welterweight champion Norman Jr. (28-0, 22 KOs), he can forget his delusional list.<\/p>\n Instead, focus on a salvage mission to rebuild against weaker fighters. Turki Alalshikh would have no reason to pour money into a Ryan Garcia vs. Haney rematch. That rivalry would be dead in the water after Norman Jr. finishes with Devin.<\/p>\n The Most Unrealistic Fight<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cAll of them are realistic. [Brian Norman] was the most unrealistic,\u201d said Bill Haney to 78Sportstv<\/a>, discussing how fans doubted he would match Devin against WBO welterweight champion Brian Norman Jr.<\/p>\n\n
