Devin Haney‘s lawsuit against Ryan Garcia has created a sharp divide within the boxing community. With people like Eddie Hearn and Claressa Shields strongly backing Haney while bigwigs like Bob Arum and Teofimo Lopez slamming him for it, few matters have polarized the community like this. While almost everyone believes that the case will be a pivotal moment in changing the PED rules in the sport, it has forced many fighters to take sides. Some are in favor of Haney and think what he is doing will benefit the sport.

A few others are of a different opinion, thinking that the lawsuit will backfire on The Dream. One of them is rising lightweight star and Olympic medalist Keyshawn Davis who has now criticized Devin Haney and even questioned the latter’s sportsmanship in a vicious rant.

Keyshawn Davis ridicules Devin Haney’s Lawsuit

In an interview with Matt Lenihan for Boxing Social, Davis questioned Haney’s intentions, while calling him soft. He ridiculed the idea of the lawsuit. He advised the 31-0 boxer to take his losses like a true sportsperson and stop acting like a crybaby. “You (Devin Haney) are a b*tch. You’re soft! You don’t know how to take your L’s,” stated the Virginia native bluntly, while also apologizing for the language he used in a moment of fury.

The Businessman put a question mark on everything that Haney has earned in his career. He not only described the lawsuit as a weak move but also stated that the Nevada resident has been overprotected and has been offered everything on a silver platter by his father. He stated, “You’re a person that’s been given everything all your life. Daddy’s boy, making sure you are straight all your life. Now you took your first loss, you don’t know how to take it… You took it all the way to suing and all that extra shit… I feel like you soft, bro!” in a ruthless manner.

This isn’t the first time that the “daddy’s boy” label has been used in Haney’s case. Teofimo Lopez, Gervonta Davis and even Garcia have criticized Devin Haney in the same way in the past, because of how involved his father is in his boxing career.

“Daddy’s Boy” Label Intensifies

Teofimo Lopez referred to Haney as a daddy’s boy recently. ‘The Takeover’ was surprised after learning about the lawsuit and did not let the opportunity slide to call out the 5’8 boxer stating that his success was because of his father, Bill Haney.

The rivalry between Tank and Dream is also quite wild. These two have been on bad terms for a very long time and have engaged in back and forth on social media frequently in the last few years. In one such instance, Davis called out Devin Haney and wrote, “You soft, bro! Without your daddy, you ain’t built like that,” implying that Haney can’t do anything without his father. In another post, Tank mocked Haney’s career and wrote, “Everything you’ve got, your daddy handed it to you. You ain’t earned it like the rest of us,” excluding Devin Haney from the elite boxing crowd.

Ryan Garcia’s rivalry with Haney has also involved some back-and-forth with Bill Haney, adding another layer to their ongoing feud. Garcia has repeatedly argued that Bill coddles his son, keeping him from being truly tested in the ring.
