Unbeaten Haney can follow Floyd as an American icon

- CHRIS MCKENNA

DEVIN HANEY may have fallen out with Floyd Mayweather but he is yet another fighter looking to recapture the hold the former pound-for-pound king had on the sport.

America’s quest to find the next big superstar in boxing who crosses over into the mainstream goes on.

Unbeaten Haney possesses the ability and lavish lifestyle to go as closely matched to Mayweather as anyone since he retired, having shown his class in becoming undisputed champion at lightweight.

The duo have let their relationship blow up publicly, with Mayweather now closer aligned to another protege in Gervonta Davis.
