The 27-year-old Garcia was referencing his 2024 bout with compatriot Haney, whom Garcia had beaten three times in decision victories; However, Garcia later returned adverse drug-test results, Which led to a 12-month ban and his win over Haney was voided Without any competition.
Garcia continued: “I don’t think [Benn] He’s at the level he thinks he’s at, I’ll tell you that. I don’t think Eubanks had enough skills or felt good enough. I think Conor is young, and I think he’s hungry, and I think he fights that way, but I don’t think he’s that good – if that makes any sense.
“His style is brawler, but boxers will always beat brawlers. A good boxer will always beat a good brawler, for sure. I don’t think he beats anybody at the top level at 147[lb]But if he believes in it, we can all run it.
“If he wants a bigger name, I’d love to come to the UK and take all your fans with me. It would happen.” [make me] Bliss. What else? UK fans are the best.”
On Saturday, Benn and Hearn sat ringside in Saudi Arabia, where Haney becomes three-division world champion by claiming WBO welterweight belt,
The 27-year-old unbeaten Haney knocked out Brian Norman Jr. en route to a decision victory, but Benn and Hearn gave “Dream” a performance that fell short.
Benn said Haney seemed “scared of his own shadow”, while Garcia has now said of Hearn’s comments: “I think there was a bit of saltiness, I could taste a bit of salt. But when he had Devin, he was ‘the greatest fighter in the world’, he would ‘never be beaten’.
“I’m not hating on it; you’ve got to do your job, right? I think that’s the real honest opinion about that fight. [is] Devin Haney looked sharp, but he didn’t have a killer instinct. This is the fastest I’ve seen him since [Jorge] linares fight [in 2021]But still, no killer instinct.
“You hurt a guy like that, and you do well the next few rounds, and then you blow the whole fight away. He’s fine with just winning, which is absolutely fine, but you need to be the killer.”
Haney’s title win at welterweight came after his divisional debut in May, when he was criticized for a lackluster performance in outpointing Jose Ramirez. At the same event, Garcia similarly made his welterweight debut and was knocked out by Rollie Romero.
Regardless, Garcia has been linked with another title shot in his next outing.
