Froch named a boxer who could become the “new Mayweather”

Former world champion Carl Froch showered with compliments on the newly crowned WBC welterweight title holder Devina Haney, comparing it with the legendary Floyd Mayweather.

“Devin Haney is a really high-quality, great fighter. He has speed, mobility, combination work. Haney has terrifying speed. If you're standing in front of Devin and trying to get close to him, he'll just jab you, counter, and combine. His footwork, reflexes, head movements - one gets the feeling that he is in the Matrix. He's counting you out.

I can't even flatter him enough. What a quality fighter, and he’s only 25 years old. He should be in the top 6-7 of the pound-for-pound rating. Haney is definitely in the top 10 right now. He could become the next Floyd Mayweather. Everything is in his hands,” Froch said.

Let us remind you that on December 9, Haney defeated Regis Prograis by unanimous decision in the main event of the boxing evening in San Francisco.
