Out of the big 4 at lightweight, (Teo has outgrown the class, Shakur isn’t there yet, and Kambosos is a step below imo), which fight do you want to see the most?
Loma vs Haney
Ryan vs Tank if Loma is unable to return to form. The sheer amount of silence/tears on this board once Garcia lays out Tank would be hilarious.
Tank vs Haney, but I'm fooling myself if I think it's going to happen anytime soon.
In fact, I don't see any of these big fights happening anytime soon.
I doubt Haney would even fight Loma (if he's available) if it's not in his TR contract.
Rolly v Kambosos for losers tier and insufferable build up. Mouth v mouth.
But in seriousness, Haney Tank since Loma is busy and not sure where he is at boxing wise right now.
Egis said that Loma has been training and that he's ready to roll. BB talked to Arum today, and Arum said that Loma is ready, so he's going to push for Loma vs Haney next.

That's the one I picked also but with Loma involved with more important stuff, it's likely not gonna happen anytime soon. All the fights you listed are great fights, I'd be happy with any and all.
I agree I hope we get to see them all eventually but it’s boxing so I won’t hold my breath waiting for them to be made.
Hopefully the war ends soon and Loma hasn’t lost anything boxing wise.
In terms of sheer entertainment or divisional significance?
Haney obviously doesn’t have the most fan friendly style but he is the undisputed actual Champion now so all roads lead to him. Loma/Tank VS Haney.
Just in terms of the fight you most want to see. Obviously in a division where the belts are unified any fight with the champ will have the most divisional significance. But because this is a division where all 4 guys are big names, fights with only the champ won’t necessarily be the most desired by fans. In a division with less names and star power then yeah I agree I usually want to see the fights with the champ the most.
The longer Lomachenko stays in Ukraine in the war, the less effective he may become as a boxer. Right now, Haney and Tank are the top two guys in the division, so they need to fight for the undisputed title. If Lomachenko returns, who knows how long he will need to get back into fighting shape?
Personally if I could only choose one fight it would be Loma vs Tank. I’ve felt that way for years. I still think these two are the division’s best even though Haney has the belts at the moment.
