Devin Haney is wasting no opportunities to slander his upcoming opponent Ryan Garcia, and seeing the latter in one frame with Floyd Mayweather, Haney had an interesting conversation with Garcia, which he decided to make pubblic.
Garcia recently shared a reel on his Instagram profile, showing him hanging out with Mayweather. The caption of the reel was Mayweather recently saying that he considers Garcia as one of the three biggest stars in the sport.
Haney found another chance to throw some slack at Garcia, and he responded that even a legend like Mayweather won’t be able to assist him.
“Floyd can’t save or help u..” Haney wrote to Garcia.
Garcia had a sarcastic response: “CRY ME A RIVER”

Haney and Garcia have been in conversation for a mega-fight this year, and the two have gone at one another on social media on multiple occasions. Haney, the former undisputed champion at lightweight, recently made his debut at super lightweight back in December and defeated Regis Prograis to clinch the WBC 140-pound belt. The former interim WBC lightweight champion in Garcia, meanwhile, bounced back from the Tank Davis loss with an 8th-round knockout of Oscar Duarte in December.
Floyd Mayweather considers Ryan Garcia as one of his top three boxers right now
Floyd Mayweather, the undefeated boxing legend, recently named his top three boxers in the sport right now. Aside from naming Garcia, “Money” also picked Canelo Alvarez and Gervonta Davis as his other two.
“There are some heavy hitters in the game right now but there’s only really three. Canelo [Alvarez], Ryan and Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis,” Mayweather said in a recent interview with InsideFighting.
Haney’s father Bill Haney, on the other hand, believes his boy’s achievements eclipse others, comparing it to Mayweather’s prime, as well as lambasting him for speaking in favour of Garcia.
“What Floyd didn’t do at 25 years old, Devin did. This is the Devin Haney era,” Bill told iFL TV. “Floyd, you can keep talking about that money c**p if you want to. There is someone coming to the Mount Rushmore of boxing – and his name is Devin Haney.”
