Gervonta “Tank” Davis has never been one to hold back his thoughts, and in a recent interview, he made a bold claim about his rival, Devin Haney, following Haney’s loss to Ryan Garcia. Davis, who has been vocal about his thoughts on other fighters, didn’t hesitate to express his opinion that Haney would never be the same after that defeat.
“I don’t think Devin will ever be the same after that loss,” Tank said bluntly, showing no signs of holding back. According to Davis, Haney’s loss to Garcia was not just a regular setback, but one that has fundamentally damaged him as a fighter. “He’s done. He’s damaged,” Tank added, implying that the defeat took a significant toll on Haney’s career and mental state.
The comments from Tank come after a highly anticipated fight between Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney, which saw Garcia emerge victorious. While many were expecting a back-and-forth battle, Garcia’s win was viewed as a huge upset, and it raised questions about Haney’s ability to compete at the highest level.
For Davis, the defeat had a lasting impact on Haney. He doesn’t just view the loss as a one-off defeat but as something that will fundamentally alter Haney’s ability to perform in the future. “Ryan’s win was huge, but it’s not just about the physical damage. It’s the mental aspect too. Devin’s confidence will never be the same again,” Davis explained.
Tank, who has always been a major player in the lightweight division, didn’t stop at criticizing Haney’s loss. He also questioned the way Haney approached the fight against Garcia. “Devin didn’t have the right mindset going into that fight. You can see it in the way he fought. He wasn’t the same fighter. The defeat shook him,” Davis continued.
When asked if Haney could ever bounce back from the loss, Davis was skeptical. “It’s tough to come back from something like that. Ryan’s win was more than just beating Haney; it broke something in him. Some losses are harder to recover from than others, and this one… this one is going to stick with him,” Tank concluded.
As Gervonta Davis continues to dominate in the ring, his comments about Haney’s future serve as a stark reminder of how crucial mental toughness is in boxing. A loss like the one Haney suffered can have long-lasting effects, and according to Tank, it may be a defining moment in Haney’s career. For now, Davis seems confident that Haney’s window of opportunity has closed, and the fighter who once seemed poised to rule the division may have already seen his best days.
