Comments Thread For: Devin Haney-Jorge Linares Set For May 29 At Mandalay Bay In Las Vegas

Why does that matter? He's supposedly a top 135er calling out the best so stop with the " leave Haney alone he's just a baby"!

I wanted him to get his shot at Lomachenko. I want him and Teo to fight for the actual undisputed championship. I also wanted Garcia to enforce his mandatory against Haney's title.

I'm only bringing up how funny I find the "they need to earn it" people. Oscar Valdez just picked up a great win over Berchelt. Before that his best win was Scott Quigg who broke his jaw.

Oscar Valdez is 30 years old.

Not the fight I’d like to see Haney in but obviously Ryan Garcia didn’t want anything to do with him despite being mandatory. Now watch how the same fans that were acting like Ryan beating Campbell was a big deal will crap on this fight despite the fact that Linares beat Campbell.

I think that Campbell and Linares are about the same tallest-wise, which is why their fight was close. They are both good fighters who can be very good depending on the matchup

That is more of the problem these guys fighting 35 fighters no one has ever heard of then getting going past their physical prime over 30.

All of these young guys should be active and in tough against one another.

Difference is Haney will get no credit for this.

See the double standards?

Everyone talks about Ryan Garcia like he's the next Mayweather since he beat a guy who gave Lomachenko a tough time. Now Haney does the same thing and these DICAFS will say Haney's just beating up on Loma's leftovers.

I'm so sick of the double standards man, this is why the sport of boxing has no credibility left.

Ain’t nobody acting like he’s the next floyd man gtfo Most people are picking tank to KTFO ryan

Anybody who believes that Haney is a true CHAMPION and a top 10 guy is full of ****!!! Haney has not fought a top 10 guy and he's a CHAMPION cause of CROOKED Saliaman and please Zaur don't count he was placed in the top 10 for that reason he didn't even belong in the top 10!!! And then he dances around his original mandatory Fortuna!!! He wiggled out of that one after Saliaman arranged it! All you people who believes this bull**** need to look at the facts for opinions don't count!! Haney is not a true CHAMPION he was given a gift, when you look at his record you can't even call him a paper CHAMPION!! This **** is a ****ing joke!! Reality!! Like it or not!!! FACTS are FACTS!!! There's guy in the top 10 that have been waiting for a Title shot that would be a nightmare for Haney!!! Check yourself people!!!

The most truthful post out of all of them. People truly don’t conduct any research at all before they go full bore nut hugfesting. When he was gifted his paper title his opposition’s record was 185-155. Read that again 185-155. This man’s opposition record is exactly what we’ve all been talking about. He is a completely manufactured hype job. Of course he’s supposed to look good against opponents with awful records. His first “named” fighter Gamboa, a former champion that’s far beyond his prime he couldn’t finish him.

He’s a hype job.

A stay busy fight perhaps in the mean while? who knows it might surprise some fight fans and have its moments?

[Doubledagger]

You all missing the point here Haney danced around his original mandatory Fortuna, now Fortuna been thrown towards Garcia, Suliman is one CROOKED dude!!! Facts Are FACTS!!!

And you forget that Garcia also danced around the Haney fight, seeing as he was also mandatory for Haney but refused to fight him, and now he getting Fortuna whereas he could have just fought Haney for the title.

Lol crying over something that hasn’t even happened yet, but you’ll be looking for it at every turn, no doubt.

Good fight for Haney at this point in his career.

[Castilo]

I’m disappointed in this one I thought Haney was going to fight Lomanchenko well I didn’t think he was I was hoping though!!! Nobody wants to see him fight Linares he was good at one point but he’s way past it this fight is not going to prove anything just a stay busy fight for the young champ

Lomachenko is booked to fight nakatani

I usually agree with a lot you have to say but so far I've read no-one say its Lomas left overs.
I'm sure if Haney wanted Loma for his next fight he should have contacted Arum and tried to make that fight.

Regards to Haney/Linares it should be a good step up fight for Haney which he's sadly lacking atm.

Plus if he can get linares out of their in decent fashion then that's making a small statement.
