On April 20th, Devin Haney will defend his Super-Lightweight title against Ryan Garcia in Brooklyn. On the other hand, after the victory against Edwin De Los Santos in Las Vegas last year, Shakur Stevenson is expected to return against Artem Harutyunyan on July 6 in Newark. Meanwhile, Gervonta Davis is expected to make his comeback since the Ryan Garcia fight in April 2023 against former sparring partner Frank Martin. But, what if Davis, Shakur, and Haney fought one another?

Floyd Mayweather’s protege Curmel Moton, who just won his third professional fight against Anthony Cuba last night on the undercard of Tim Tszyu vs. Sebastian Fundora, has answered the above question! Having trained with Davis and Shakur, Moton believes Haney will exceed the two at Terence Crawford’s weight.

Curmel Moton has always considered Gervonta Davis one of his role models in the sport. On the other hand, the 17-year-old has always spoken about Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney respectfully. On the other hand, Shakur Stevenson praised Moton’s skills after sparring with the latter ahead of his fight against Shuichiro Yoshinho. According to Shakur, Moton had speed and skills. Meanwhile, Moton has predicted Devin Haney will beat Ryan Garcia via UD.  On that note, since Curmel Moton “rides with” Haney, Shakur, and Davis, he was asked who would win if the trio fought one another at 147 lbs.

While Gervonta Davis is 5′ 5½″, Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson are 5′ 8″. However, last year, Devin Haney moved up to Super-Lightweight to challenge Regis Prograis for the WBC Super-Lightweight title. After 12 rounds, Haney won the contest via UD. At this, provided Haney’s size and resume, Curmel Moton feels Haney will beat both Shakur Stevenson and Gervonta Davis should they fight at 147 lbs where Terence Crawford was the undisputed champion.

At 147, Devin. I feel like Devin’s the only one big enough to go up that high. They are all great. I don’t even think they’ll fight as of right now. So, we’ll see in the future,” Curmel Moton told Champside.

Well, with that said, as boxing fans, we have to wait to see whether or not Davis, Haney, and Shakur consider moving up to the Welterweight division. But, as of now, do you agree with Curmel Moton’s argument? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below. For more boxing updates, follow EssentiallySports!
