George Kambosos Jr. Believes Devin Haney Not Gervonta Davis Is The Best Boxer At 135lbs

George Kambosos Jr. says Devin Haney is the best boxer at 135lbs.

Haney and Gervonta Davis have both called themselves the best boxers at 135lbs, but according to Kambosos Jr., he believes it is Haney because he has all the belts.

“Devin Haney has the belts. He’s proven. He’s got everything. Yeah, Tank has beaten some good guys. But he hasn’t beaten the guys that Haney has beaten. We’ve seen a rehydration clause on Tank’s biggest win against Ryan Garcia. So those kinds of things stain [a resume] from the outside looking in. Haney is the No. 1 lightweight at this stage until he vacates,” Kambosos Jr. told BoxingScene.com in an interview.

Of course, George Kambosos Jr. and Devin Haney fought twice with Haney winning both of them to become the undisputed champion at lightweight. With Haney having beaten him and being the champ, Kambosos Jr. says there is no argument on who the best boxer at 135lbs is.

With that, George Kambosos Jr. says he is focused on working his way back up to becoming a champ again.

“I never lose focus. I knew, yeah, one day the loss would come,” said Kambosos Jr. “It is what it is. That’s why I chose a guy like Devin Haney to fight. Originally I was supposed to fight Vasiliy Lomachenko. I want to test myself against the best and elite guys in the world. If the loss comes, big deal. It doesn’t affect me as a fighter. More than anything, it motivates me even more.  I’m a better fighter for it [after fighting Haney for 24 rounds] and I can’t wait to show it on July 22.”
