Carl Froch has high praise for one fighter coming off a statement victory.
Now a Hall of Famer and pundit, Froch held multiple super-middleweight world titles during his fighting career. He’s well-placed then to identify the most-talented in the sport.
He reserves a place there for Devin Haney, who this weekend became a two-weight world champion with a landslide victory over Regis Prograis.
Haney won the WBC Super-Lightweight World title in San Francisco, dropping and hurting the tough Prograis on his way to a unanimous decision win.
Speaking on Froch on Fighting, ‘The Cobra’ said Haney could be the next Floyd Mayweather.
Froch also found some comparisons with the great Roy Jones Jr, who joins Mayweather on the list of the best fighters to ever lace up the gloves.
Haney now has a mandatory challenger in Sandor Martin, but will be looking for big fights against Ryan Garcia and fellow-champion Teofimo Lopez.
