Terence Crawford reveals dream fights for Devin Haney, Shakur Stevenson and Tank Davis

Terence Crawford has named the fights he wants to see before the end of 2026, and his comments have attracted widespread attention in boxing. Retired five-division world champion and former pound-for-pound No. 1, Terence Crawford, shared his thoughts in a recent interview.

He retired after defeating Canelo Alvarez to become undisputed at super-middleweight. His record and achievements continue to add weight to his opinion. Fans and analysts reacted after listing three matchups involving fighters active in different divisions. Each pairing consists of athletes who are currently competing at a high level and have been in the headline discussion in the sport.

“It’s hard to say because there are so many big fights still to come. I would love to see Keyshawn Davis vs. Devin Haney. I would love to see ‘Bam [Jesse Rodriguez] versus [Naoya] Inoue, and I would love to see Shakur [Stevenson] versus [Gervonta] ‘Tank’ Davis.”

Keyshawn Davis vs. Devin Haney

Keyshawn Davis and Devin Haney are both active in the welterweight division. Haney is a former undisputed lightweight champion and now holds the 147-pound world title. He continues to wrestle dominant fights in the division and remains a part of ongoing title conversations.

Davis is a rising contender who has called up great opponents while building his professional record. He is scheduled to face Nahir Albright in a rematch on May 16 in Norfolk. A potential bout between Davis and Haney would pit an up-and-coming fighter against an established champion. Both fighters are active and continue to compete against ranked opponents within their division. Their names remain present in discussions regarding future title fights.

jessie rodriguez vs naoya inoue

Jessie Rodriguez and Naoya Inoue are among the leading fighters in their weight classes. Rodriguez currently holds super-flyweight titles and has gained recognition through recent performances. Inoue has won world titles in multiple divisions and continues to compete at a high level.

In his next fight, he will face Junto Nakatani. The matchup between Rodriguez and Inoue would involve two active champions from different divisions. Both fighters remain part of ongoing title discussions and continue to face top level competition. Their achievements have made them among the most recognized names in their respective weight categories.

Shakur Stevenson vs. Gervonta Davis

Shakur Stevenson and Gervonta Davis are established fighters competing in the lightweight and light-welterweight divisions. Stevenson currently holds the 140-pound world title and remains active in scheduled fights. Davis is a multi-division champion and remains a major talking point regarding the bouts.

There have been talks about a possible bout between Stevenson and Davis, but no official fight has been confirmed.

Crawford’s comments identify three matchups involving fighters active in different divisions. Each pairing consists of athletes who are currently competing, holding titles, or pursuing title opportunities. These fights remain part of the ongoing discussions within boxing as the 2026 schedule is developed.

Oscar De La Hoya shuts down Ryan Garcia vs. Devin Haney rematch idea?

While many boxing fans would love to see hated rivals Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney take part in a rematch, the former’s promoter clearly has no interest.

A year after a devastating knockout loss to Gervonta Davis, Garcia had a career-changing moment when he scored an upset victory over Haney. Or so we thought. Shortly after his thrilling decision win in April 2024, it was revealed that “King Rae” had tested positive for performance enhancers. This win was soon changed to a no-contest and erased from his resume.

After serving a lengthy suspension, Garcia returned to action in May 2025 and was on the wrong end of a disappointing setback against Rolando Romero. The loss ended any interest in a rematch with the welterweight champion. However, Garcia’s career took another sharp turn last month when he scored a decisive victory over Mario Barrios.

His stellar performance generated new interest in a possible rematch with Haney for his WBO title. However, one person who couldn’t care less about the two running it back is Garcia’s promoter, Oscar De La Hoya.

During the “Fact or Hat” segment inside boxing De La Hoya was asked by co-host Dan Canobbio if Garcia would fight Haney again, and the boxing legend’s response was “Cap.”

When Cannobio asked, wide-eyed in surprise, “It’s not going to happen?” The Golden Boy boss responded, “Not on my watch. He destroyed it.”

In their 2024 scrap, Garcia floored Haney three times. Once in the seventh round, again in the 10th round and then last time in the 11th round. De La Hoya’s response will surprise many boxing fans. Especially because a winnable fight with an elite fighter is off the table for Ryan Garcia in 2026.

奥斯卡·德拉·霍亚 (Oscar De La Hoya) 否决了瑞安·加西亚 (Ryan Garcia) 与德文·哈尼 (Devin Haney) 重赛的想法?

虽然许多拳击迷希望看到他们讨厌的对手瑞安·加西亚和德文·哈尼参加复赛,但前者的发起人显然没有兴趣。

在惨败于格尔文塔·戴维斯的一年后,加西亚迎来了职业生涯改变的时刻,他爆冷战胜了哈尼。或者说我们是这么认为的。 2024 年 4 月,在他令人兴奋的判定获胜后不久,有消息称“King Ry”的性能增强剂检测结果呈阳性。这场胜利很快就变成了一场无比赛,并从他的简历中抹去了。

在经历了长时间的停赛后,加西亚于 2025 年 5 月重返赛场,并在惨败罗兰多·罗梅罗的比赛中处于错误的位置。这场失利让人们对与次中量级冠军重赛的兴趣大打折扣。然而,上个月,加西亚的职业生涯再次发生急剧转变,他对马里奥·巴里奥斯取得了决定性的胜利。

他的出色表现再次引发了人们对与哈尼争夺 WBO 拳王头衔的重赛的兴趣。然而,有一个人根本不关心这两个跑回来的人,那就是加西亚的发起人奥斯卡·德拉·霍亚(Oscar De La Hoya)。

在“事实或上限”部分 内拳击 联合主持人丹·卡诺比奥 (Dan Canobbio) 德拉霍亚 (De La Hoya) 被问及加西亚是否会再次与哈尼对战,这位拳击传奇人物的回答是“上限”。

当卡诺比奥惊讶地睁大眼睛问道:“这不会发生吗?”金童老板回答道:“不是在我的监督下。他毁了他。”

在 2024 年的比赛中,加西亚三次击倒哈尼。第七轮一次,第十轮一次,最后一次是第十一轮。德拉霍亚的回应会让很多拳击迷感到惊讶。尤其是瑞安·加西亚 (Ryan Garcia) 在 2026 年与精英拳手进行一场能够获胜的比赛时,就更是如此。

瑞安·加西亚 (Ryan Garcia) 战胜马里奥·巴里奥斯 (Mario Barrios) 后的 5 个下一场比赛选择,包括德文·哈尼 (Devin Haney) 复赛

周六晚上在拉斯维加斯,瑞恩·加西亚 (Ryan Garcia) 在对阵 WBC 次中量级拳王马里奥·巴里奥斯 (Mario Barrios) 的比赛中以精湛的表演平息了最强烈的批评者。 “King Ry”火力全开,在比赛的前 23 秒内就击败了冠军,并以一致判定轻松赢得了他的第一个大满贯冠军。

这场胜利结束了他过去几年的噩梦。在 2023 年惨败于杰文塔·戴维斯 (Gervonta Davis) 后,他凭借对奥斯卡·杜阿尔特 (Oscar Duarte) 的胜利而东山再起,随后又以一场对德文·哈尼 (Devin Haney) 的职业生涯决定性胜利,但因药物禁赛而被推翻。在缺席六个月后,他于 2025 年 5 月回归,但在对阵罗利·罗梅罗 (Rolly Romero) 的比赛中,他站在了错误的一方。

然而,周六晚上之后,加西亚重新回到了驾驶座,并可以在 2026 年剩余时间里安排一些重大比赛。考虑到这一点,让我们看看这位 27 岁选手下一场比赛的五个潜在对手。

罗兰多·罗梅罗

你可以打赌,输给罗密欧的比赛仍在“King Ry”中进行。去年五月的那个晚上是他职业生涯的低谷,这让他最大的仇恨者感觉进一步得到了证实。如果这位新冠军真的想把最近的所有麻烦抛在脑后,那么为输给罗梅罗报仇肯定是有可能的。

在大获全胜后,他和重量级明星沙库尔·史蒂文森在后台进行了一场亲切的对峙,以测试球迷对潜在比赛的兴趣。由于史蒂文森在初级次中量级中占据主导地位,将体重增加七磅至次中量级是有可能的。

对于史蒂文森队来说,加西亚将是一场可以获胜的战斗,并且有机会在另一个级别获得冠军。对于加西亚队来说,对决将是一个巨大的风险,但它提供了获得 P4P 地位的机会。

拳击偶像曼尼·帕奎奥去年以 46 岁高龄重返职业拳击界,在许多观察家眼中,他击败了巴里奥斯夺得了 WBC 腰带。然而,这场有趣的比赛被称为平局。如果加西亚想要与大牌对手进行一场胜利的战斗,“吃豆人”是一个选择。考虑到他去年对阵巴里奥斯的表现,即使他已经接近 50 场比赛,他仍然是一个值得尊敬的对手。

德文·哈尼

许多拳击界人士认为,瑞安·加西亚下一场比赛的首要目标是与德文·哈尼的重赛。在他们的第一次交锋中,加西亚三度击倒对手。然而,我们当然有理由相信他的出色表现是通过医学手段得到增强的。

就像与罗梅罗的重赛一样,与哈尼的第二次战斗也提供了证据。同时也是一个证明自己是一名 P4P 拳手的机会,也是获得另一条腰带并力争成为 147 磅统一冠军的机会。

拳击比赛中的打架始终是一项艰巨的挑战,因此,尽管球迷希望看到瑞安·加西亚与哈尼、帕奎奥或史蒂文森对决,但谈判也很可能失败。这就是为什么像利亚姆·帕罗这样的拳击手最终可能成为新任 WBC 冠军的下一个对手。

这位澳大利亚人以 27 胜 1 负的战绩位列该级别前五,并且在他的职业生涯中取得了一些重大胜利。如果加西亚在回归时无法确保与更大牌的球员对决,“神童”是一个合乎逻辑的选择。

5 Options for Ryan Garcia’s Next Fight After Dominating Mario Barrios, Including Devin Haney Rematch

On Saturday night in Las Vegas, Ryan Garcia silenced his biggest critics with an outstanding performance against WBC welterweight king Mario Barrios. “King Ray” was on fire as he knocked down the champion in the first 23 seconds of the fight and easily won his first major title by unanimous decision.

This victory ended what had been a nightmare for him for the last few years. After a decision loss to Gervonta Davis in 2023, he bounced back with a win over Oscar Duarte, then scored a career-defining win over Devin Haney due to a drug suspension. After sitting out six months, he returned in May 2025 and suffered a major upset against Rollie Romero.

However, after Saturday night, Garcia is back in the driver’s seat and could be preparing for some big fights for the rest of 2026. With that in mind, let’s take a look at five potential opponents for the 27-year-old’s next fight.

You can bet the loss to Romo is still weighing heavily on “King Ray.” That night last May was a low point in his career, and it made his biggest haters feel even more vindicated. If the new champion really wants to put all of his recent troubles behind him, avenging his loss against Romero would certainly be a possibility.

Following his big win, he and pound-for-pound star Shakur Stevenson had a cordial face-off backstage to test fan interest in a potential fight. Due to Stevenson’s dominance at junior welterweight, moving up to seven pounds at welterweight is a possible scenario.

For Team Stevenson, Garcia would be a winnable fight and a chance to win a title in the second division. For Team Garcia, the matchup will be a big risk, but it provides an opportunity to gain P4P status.

Boxing icon Manny Pacquiao returned to pro boxing last year at the age of 46 and in the eyes of many observers defeated Barrios for the WBC belt. However, the entertaining encounter was ruled a draw. If Garcia wants a winnable fight with a big-name opponent, “Pac-Man” is an option. And after the way he performed against Barrios last year, he’s a worthy foe even as he approaches 50.

Many people around boxing believe that this fight will be at the top of Ryan Garcia’s wish list for his next fight, which is a rematch with Devin Haney. In their first encounter, Garcia defeated his opponent three times. However, there is certainly reason to believe that his outstanding performance was medically enhanced.

Like the rematch with Romero, the second fight with Haney provides confirmation. But it’s also a chance to prove he’s a P4P fighter, and a chance to get another belt and aim to become unified champion at 147 pounds.

Making a fight in boxing is always a tough challenge, so while fans would love to see Ryan Garcia in a matchup with Haney, Pacquiao or Stevenson, it’s also possible that negotiations may fall through. This is why a fighter like Liam Paro could become the next opponent of the new WBC champion.

The Australian is one of the top five fighters in the division at 27-1 and has picked up some big wins during his career. If Garcia can’t secure a matchup with a big name in his return, “The Prodigy” is a logical option.
