Ryan Garcia has offered a surprising prediction for considered one of boxing\u2019s most talked-about fantasy matchups, saying he believes Devin Haney would defeat unified junior middleweight champion Jaron \u201cBoots\u201d Ennis.<\/p>\n

The opinion stands out because Ennis is widely viewed as considered one of the game\u2019s most dangerous fighters after moving up from welterweight to capture the WBA and WBO 154-pound titles. Haney, meanwhile, has spent the vast majority of his profession at lightweight and junior welterweight before recently moving to welterweight.<\/p>\n

Ryan\u2019s relationship with each fighters adds extra interest to the prediction. He fought Haney in 2024, dropping him 3 times before the result was overturned to a no contest following Ryan\u2019s positive drug test. He has also been linked to Ennis up to now, but no serious negotiations have materialized.<\/p>\n

Ryan\u2019s prediction also advantages him personally. If Haney were ever to beat a fighter of Ennis\u2019s stature, it could inevitably make Ryan\u2019s own performance against Haney in 2024 look even stronger. The comment also keeps attention on the potential of a rematch between the 2, regardless that Haney is predicted to stay occupied with other major fights before any reunion becomes realistic.<\/p>\n

The post quickly created disagreement from fans, many arguing Ennis\u2019 size, power and pressure could be an excessive amount of for Haney. Others questioned Ryan\u2019s prediction, insisting Ennis would overwhelm the previous two-division champion.<\/p>\n

Neither Haney nor Ennis has responded publicly to Ryan\u2019s prediction.<\/p>\n
