I try not to set myself up for disappointment even thinking about that fight.
If I could MAKE one fight, it would be that one. It's just that we know Tank will never go there. Mayweather wouldn't have either. They're all about padded records. Loma's on a level they can't touch. It's ironic,too, because Loma is the one who should be fighting at 130, and Tank at 135. But we see the difference in talent and character at play.
Since haney is running her mouth, she's the next best thing.
We'll see how Commey-Lopez goes. Clearly Loma should fight the winner of that fight next. But if the fight is violent, and leaves the winner on the shelf. Loma should kill time killing Haney.
Yeah. I ain't about calling fighters names, man. I know we all got our favourites but they all deserve respect far as I'm concerned. Just cos other folk do it doesn't mean you have to.
As to Devin he looks to be a very gifted kid, I just won't be sold until he's faced a bit more adversity than Abdullaev offered. I've no issue with Loma fighting him I'm just not seeing why an elite world champ should be doing the job of a gatekeeper, but I'm not gonna hold it against Devin that he's asking to fight the best. That's what he should be doing.
This poll makes no sense. Valdez, warrington, santa Cruz, Garcia, Berchelt are not fighting at LW, are not mandatory for any of the LW titles or are LW champions. Of the fighters that legitimately have a chance to fight Loma next:
1. Commey/Lopez are fighting each other. Loma is only going to fight one, not the other.
2. Tank /Gamboa are fighting each other. Loma is only going to fight one.
3. Haney the WBC mando
The only logical choice should be tank/gamboa winner, lopez/commey winner or haney.
I will choose Haney because he has the attributes -speed, height, reach, athleticism-that IMO would be the most difficult for Loma to overcome. The other 4 men have better resumes but don't have the same attributes.
A common sense answer, man. :lol1:
As to my choice I'd personally wait on Haney fighting someone a lil better. I've no doubt about his skills and attributes - kids a phenom for sure - but I like to see these kids face a little adversity before throwing them in against top level guys, man. Sometimes they just fold when things don't go their way and I reckon it's best to find that out before throwing them in with an elite fighter.
Let him face someone a little more battle tested than Abdullaev at least.
Voted Tank but if there's was an option for Lopez / Commey winner I may have gone with that. Both good fights but I wouldn't mind seeing Tank get a win against a current top 10 LW first to make sure he's sharp.
Gotcha...
I'd think most people, if we could choose would want a Tank fight over anything else but that's highly doubtful until Floyd thinks Loma is just about shot....
So we probably get Berchelt or someone at 130 with titles.
I think once Loma unifies he will move back down.
He created history several times.
I think he wants to hold titles at 3 different weight classes.
Yeah, maybe.
It was just to avoid people complaining about how who they want was competing against two fighters.
Most people have said they want the winner of that fight in the comments. I suspect the people that voted for either would say that too.

I think you should have combined the Lopez and Commey picks because we know they're fighting and he's getting the winner.
I want the winner of that and then Tank

I thought it was set for 12/14 at MSG? But I give a slight edge to Commey

Not long to go.
Loma vs the winner in March maybe then.
You mean it would be the style match up the where he has the most chance of losing the fight i assume, stick and move for Haney,
Whereas i think a match up with Davis would be a more entertaining fight, both will be good fights actually but since u just saw that kinda match up you want against campbell i would like to see a fight a different style match up like Tank,
But he'll probably fight Haney before Tank i think
Yes, I think Haney's style gives him better chance to beat Loma than Tank or Lopez would have, which is why I think that would be the fight fans want to see more than Loma/Lopez or Loma/Tank.
Tank and Lopez can KO Loma but not outbox him. Haney can stick, move and keep Loma at a distance. Haney has more ways to win than Tank or Lopez IMO.
Doesn't mean he would beat Loma, would be favored, or that I am picking him to beat Loma.
I completely understand from Loma's point of view why he wouldn't fight Haney next.
My point was that out of Tank, Lopez and Haney (assuming Tank and Lopez beat Gamboa and Commey);Tank and Lopez have more power and are more experienced but IMO Haney has the attributes-longer reach, more speed, taller, more athleticism- that would make for the best style matchup because loma likes to get inside and Haney can do the best at preventing him from getting inside with his jab , reach and movement.

No its pretty clear they want to see Loma fight Commey next. Not the Lopez/Commey winner. Lopez and Haney have the same number of votes as of this post.
Of all the guys you said were ahead of Haney, none got votes except Tank.
LMFAO! Just a pathetic human being you are.

No its pretty clear they want to see Loma fight Commey next. Not the Lopez/Commey winner. Lopez and Haney have the same number of votes as of this post. Commey is getting the most votes likely because he is the beltholder.
Of all the guys you said were ahead of Haney, none got votes except Tank, and he only got one. This thread shows Haney as many people want to see Haney/Loma as Lopez/Loma.
LMFAO! Just a pathetic human being you are.
read the bolded again. No one lied. Their reach advantage isn't as long as Haney's.
why are you so afraid of Haney? I have a theory-fast, athletic, long arms. I should've realized it. You can tolerate a loss to Lopez, Commey or Tank. But since many are labeling Haney as Floyd 2.0 your worse fear is that Haney beats Loma and catapults himself into the spotlight.
If Haney beats Loma then all that BS about Loma being better than Floyd goes out the window.
LMFAO!!! I should've realized.

Lopez and Tank don't have as long a reach advantage so they can't avoid Loma's offense. The exact reason why Tank is waiting so long to fight Loma.
Haney may not bring name value but he does provide the most difficult stylistic matchup IMO. I think Commey would be next in terms of difficulty.
I completely understand why you don't risk losing before a big payday.
Lies again, Tank and Lopez both have reach advantages over Loma.
