FLOYD MAYWEATHER protege Devin Haney showed his blistering power by FLOORING an opponent in sparring.
The WBC lightweight champion is under the tutelage of Mayweather, who is determined to become a world class trainer.

And clearly with Haney, Money has a special talent at his disposal.
The 21-year-old shared some footage on social media showing his explosiveness in a sparring session.
It’s a somewhat uncomfortable watch as Haney lands power punches at will on his mismatched opponent.
Mayweather might have a tricky decision to take in the future – he also works with WBA king Gervonta Davis who could fight Haney in a unification bout.

And Davis isn’t right happy Mayweather has invested his time into training Haney.
Davis, 25, has butted heads with Mayweather on several occasions, but appears to be at breaking point after finding out the 43-year-old has been passing down his knowledge to Haney in 4am sparring sessions.
The super-featherweight champion was so infuriated he cancelled a proposed training camp at Mayweather’s Las Vegas gym and even said he would even FIGHT his mentor.
Davis wrote online: “I’ve been doing well by my lonely… both of their ass the opps [opposition] anyway.
“I’m ready to fight whoever… including Floyd. That’s not trolling, them facts.”
Mayweather defended his decision to train 21-year-old Haney – who he has known since the rising star was nine – after insisting the lightweight champion is due to move up to light-welterweight, meaning he is no rival to Davis.
