Ryan Garcia is adamant that Devin Haney will beat Gervonta Davis if they ever fight.

The American lightweight star beat Haney on Saturday night and lost to Davis last year, but is confident that those two results don't mean anything when it comes to a potential match-up between his two former foes.

Garcia fought Davis at a 136lbs catchweight with a 10lbs rehydration clause, which he claims weakened him significantly.

Whereas he faced Haney at 140lbs, came in 3lbs overweight, and then rehydrated to over 160lbs on fight night itself.

“Gervonta wasn't a hard fight," Garcia said on the PBD Podcast, "I was just weak.

"That's not a hard fight for me, I will beat Gervonta worse than I beat Haney.

"Haney's a harder fight than Gervonta.

"Everybody's gonna go crazy right here, but I've proved them wrong before.

"You can pull up the picture of how I looked for the Tank fight and how I looked for the Haney fight.

"They knew what they were doing and he will never fight me at 145lbs so it doesn't really matter.

"That's why he was trying to tweet me all nice, 'Oh Ryan, I'll give you my real number now, let's go to the club.'

"He tried to go out with me - pause. He did though.

"He's just clout chasing, he wanted some clout.

"And he doesn't like Haney either, so I think it was both."

Garcia continued: "Haney beats Tank. Boxing's a wild sport.

"He beats him out of just pure volume and he knows how to use his reach good.

"Tank will try to hurt him, but Tank won't get to Haney.

"Definitely Haney will beat Tank.

"People will say, 'Ryan's crazy,' again. But if it happens, I've got Haney."
