Boxing Pound-for-Pound Rankings: Devin Haney tumbles out of top 10 after humbling loss to Ryan Garcia

Haney fell for the gimmick Garcia was selling during fight week and then fell apart at the end of the fight

The most fickle part about the sport of boxing is that no matter who you are, in the court of public opinion, you are only as good as your last performance. 

While that's certainly unfair in most cases, it has become the reality during the modern era, where elite fighters are only competing twice per year. And in the case of former undisputed lightweight champion Devin Haney, the past week has seen him go from being unbeaten and ranked among the pound-for-pound best in the game at age 25 to the inevitable whispers surrounding whether he was ever that good to begin with following the first loss of his pro career. 

Once again, no one ever said this was a fair system for deciding, whether you're a fan or media member, exactly where a fighter's stock should actually be.
