Is Vasyl Lomachenko vs Teófimo López An Undisputed Fight?

its mostly by default no? haney hasnt fought a soul, garciar hasnt fought a soul, tank hasnt fought a soul, commey just lost, guys like linares and campbell recently lost to loma. easter left the division, and fortuna would prob have the next best case as he got robbed vs easter and continues to win against meh opposition but no one likes fortuna so yeah Devin Haney hasn't fought a soul but he got himself in position to be Lomachenko's mandatory and called for that fight. But Top Rank swerved him. How is Haney to blame for that?

Seems like alotta bendable principles in my thread. A lot of "its ok if he did it but it wouldn't be for someone else given the same scenario." & also it sounds like a lot of opinion giving & no concrete evidence this fight is undisputed. Á la Fury being lineal but no one says a damn thing about Crawford being lineal. How is he not when the guy who had it gave it to him? I find it hard to believe Lopez or Haney wouldn't tell you they're the champion at 135. Do you feel this way about Canelo as well? According to who? What makes Teofimo undoubtedly behind Lomachenko? Cause he beat Commey? its mostly by default no? haney hasnt fought a soul, garciar hasnt fought a soul, tank hasnt fought a soul, commey just lost, guys like linares and campbell recently lost to loma. easter left the division, and fortuna would prob have the next best case as he got robbed vs easter and continues to win against meh opposition but no one likes fortuna so yeah

undisputed bum as they both duck tank and force him to fight the dangerous santa cruz. risky business! tank taking on all the best

Why you criticizing Haney for receiving it & not Lomachenko for giving it to him? Loma didnt just give it to him. Haney was just elevated from interim to actual Champ. It was all political, nothing personal

If Lomachenko had kept the WBC belt then it would be an undisputed fight. But he dropped it rather than be forced to have Devin Haney as his mandatory.

Belts are meaningless. Lightweight is an open, hot division now, with no dominant champion.

No because the WBC is stupid. That being said, I don’t care. Lomachenko is the champion. Anyone who thinks Lopez or Haney can claim that they’re the champion at 135 is insane. I find it hard to believe Lopez or Haney wouldn't tell you they're the champion at 135. Do you feel this way about Canelo as well? I could care less about undisputed it means nothing. The important thing is that these are the top 2 lightweights in the world and the winner of this is the lineal lightweight champion of the world. According to who? What makes Teofimo undoubtedly behind Lomachenko? Cause he beat Commey?

Yes, without a doubt. Can't wait for this fight.

I like Haney, but let’s be real, he’s not a world champion.

The WBC really did a good job convoluting the titles. On record, the WBC has Devin Haney as it's "World Champion". BUT....Lomachenko is recognized as the "Franchise" Champion" which grants him the chance of fighting for other Unification fights without having to go through a "mandatory" and or being able to fight for a WBC title anytime he wants. On the surface though, again from what I gather, Loma vs Lopez will only be for the WBA / IBF / WBO titles...NOT THE WBC title. Similarly, Canelo is recognized as the "WBC Franchise Middleweight Champion" like Lomachenko is at Lightweight BUT isn't listed as WBC World Champion, Jermall Charlo is now. Neither Canelo nor Loma essentially "vacated" the titles more so than the WBC putting them on a pedestal while granting 2 fighters "World Champion" status ultimately for them to collect a nice sanctioning fee. That's basically the "Avenue" WBC is talking about creating...for themselves.

As far as I'm concerned it is

Absolutely YES! lomachenko has the wba wbc and the wbo belt. lopez has the ibf belt. lomacheno is going to beat down and embarrass lopez in front of his daddy and the rest of the world watching on tv. Major props to bob arum Top rank and espn for not putting it on PPV which they easily could have done. lets not go full ****** with PPVs like those clowns at pbc.

It is! Its an undisputed championship fight because loma won three of the belts and lopez got the other belt. Its the two best lightweights in the word fighting each other! whoever wins will be the undisputed best lightweight in the world!

No matter how much the Loma haters want to write their own agenda, it will be for undisputed champ at 135. Whatever shell game the WBC is playing is on them, but if Loma wins, he will be recognized as the undisputed champ.

Lomachenko v. Lopez is for the undisputed lightweight championship. It was no secret that the next match for Loma was the winner of Commey v. Lopez in an undisputed showdown. Why the WBC needed to pull that **** at their convention is beyond me.

Yes it is for the undisputed title because email champs don't count in my book. Why you criticizing Haney for receiving it & not Lomachenko for giving it to him?

Yes it is undisputed! I can't wait for loma vs lopez plus it won't be ppv. best fight of the fall. take notes you dopes over at pbc.

No, Top Rank asked for Franchise Champion designation. So Lomachenko vacated the WBC belt rather than be forced to fight his mandatory Devin Haney.

I voted no but I should have voted yes. The winner will be the undisputed lightweight champion of the world. Loma holds 3 belts and Lopez owns the 4th belt.
