Shane Mosley Backs Keyshawn Davis in Potential Showdown Against Devin Haney
Three-division champion Shane Mosley predicts a thrilling clash between Devin Haney and Keyshawn Davis, emphasizing Davis's knockout power as a key factor.
Devin Haney, the reigning WBO welterweight champion, is set to defend his title against mandatory challenger Keyshawn Davis, who recently moved up from super-lightweight after a victory over Jamaine Ortiz. Mosley, speaking to MillCity Boxing, believes Davis has the potential to dethrone Haney, stating, "Keyshawn has got that power and stuff."
Mosley cautioned that while Haney possesses speed and power, he is vulnerable to being pressured. "Devin does have a little pop; he has got a little speed and a little pop, but he doesn’t like to get hit," Mosley noted, suggesting that Davis must be strategic in his approach to avoid Haney's counters.
The WBO has informed both fighters that Haney's mandatory title defense is due in August, warning that he risks losing his title if he does not face Davis. Mosley expressed frustration over the delay in these matchups, urging Haney, Davis, and Shakur Stevenson to fight each other without further postponement: "They all need to fight and fight now!"
