Devin Haney and Gervonta “Tank” Davis are headstrong and considered the best of the best. While the two no longer compete in the same weight class, they’ve continued to argue loudly. Although it’s been entertaining, fans are at the point where they simply want to see them get it on.

Bernard Hopkins is also tired of the theatrics and hopes that they swap fists in the ring. In terms of picking a winner, many are split right down the middle. Hopkins though, wouldn't dive into details when regarding who he would choose. However, as for who’s the better overall fighter, he believes the answer is obvious.

“Tank,” Hopkins told Sean Zittel of FightHype.com.

Davis, of course, had a busy first half of 2023. He wrapped his year by grabbing two knockout victories over both Hector Luis Garcia and Ryan Garcia. Haney, similarly, made two appearances as well.

In his first fight of 2023, Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) eked out a controversial win over Vasiliy Lomachenko. Although fans and Lomachenko banged on the door for a rematch, Haney opted to move up in weight.

Against Regis Prograis, Haney cruised, scoring a knockdown in the third before winning every round according to all three judges sitting ringside. Still, even with another world title in a second weight class, Hopkins isn’t convinced that Haney is the better fighter.

For Hopkins, it isn’t about using an eye test. Both fighters are incredibly talented from his point of view, so he uses a more tangible metric to make his judgement.

“He beat the better opposition," continued Hopkins. "The people that Tank beat, I think, no, I know it overrides who Haney beat. Both of those guys beat good, quality guys but I think Tank got the overwhelming resume that shows that he fought the more talented fighters.”
