Haney faces Ryan Garcia this week.

Devin Haney has shared the ring with many great fighters but who is the hardest puncher he’s ever come across during his illustrious career?  

On his rise to the top of the lightweight division and becoming world champion at 140lbs, Haney has encountered numerous difficult tasks. 

At 135lbs, Haney became ruler of the division with two solid wins over George Kambosos and followed it up with a close victory against Vasiliy Lomachenko.  

After moving to super-lightweight, Haney maintained his great form by dethroning Regis Prograis, but none of the aforementioned fighters hit him the hardest. 

"I don't know, that's a good question. That's something I'd have to - you'd have to give me more time to think about it. Maybe Jorge Linares,” said Haney when speaking to Talksport

"I'd have to say Linares, because that was the only time that I've been hurt. So yeah, it's Linares."
