Devin Haney's dad, Bill, has come out swinging for his son's fighting style. He's comparing Devin to none other than Floyd Mayweather to show why his son's approach in the ring is a winning one.
Some folks think Devin's way of boxing isn't all that exciting. But Bill's not having it. He says Devin, like Mayweather, puts defense and smart tactics first instead of just going all out aggressive. And let's face it, it's worked pretty well for Devin so far in his career.
This comparison comes hot on the heels of a heated argument between Bill and Floyd themselves. Back in April, they got into it on Instagram Live, throwing insults back and forth about their boxers' careers.
Bill even claimed that a sparring session between Devin and Floyd was what pushed Mayweather to hang up his gloves. That's a big claim, and it's got people talking.
Now, here's where things get interesting. Even though Mayweather's officially retired from pro boxing, he's left the door open for exhibition fights. And Bill's hinting that a showdown between Devin and Floyd could be on the cards.
If that fight ever happens, it'll be huge. Fans and media would go crazy for it. But for now, it's just talk - nothing's been confirmed.
The boxing world's split on how Devin measures up to Mayweather. Some think he's still got a long way to go to reach that level. Others see the similarities in how they fight and think strategically.
One thing's for sure - Devin's still building his legacy in boxing. And his dad's confident he can reach the heights Mayweather once did. We'll have to wait and see how it all plays out in the ring.
