Comments Thread For: Devin Haney vs. Rolly Romero Would Make Sense, Says Hearn

[Bronx2245]

I have no problem with it. Every title holder is busy and hankey dont want it. Lol worst part is hankey will fight not even in the top 20 and still get praised.

Haney definitely wants it, that's why he put himself in position to be Loma's mando. It was the WBC who gave Loma a brand new title, so that fight did not happen! That's not Haney's fault. Now we have 2 fighters (Jo Jo & KingRy) who have fought eliminators to be Haney's mando, and they don't want it either! I've never seen fihgters avoiding a fight for the "Green Belt!" Times sure have changed!

Facts! Strip 'Em! However, that's a win-win for Jo Jo! He gets a bigger event with #2 KingRy, and does not have to pay as much in sanctioning fees! No matter how it goes, it sucks for Haney...again! Loma is #1, and Commey is #4, and that fight is going to happen. He's already beaten #3 Linares, so that leaves #5 Yvan Mendy! YUCK!

No it wouldn't necessarily.

Winner of Lopez-Kambo mandated to fight Haney (scrap Franchise if possible but WBC won't do that!), possibly with Haney free to make a voluntary defence in the meantime.

But anyways we BS'ing about hypotheticals that ain't gonna happen!

Thanks.

The WBC created the problem in the first place! Never should've come up with those "Franchise" titles! If Lopez beats Kambosos, he'll be fighting the winner of Loma vs. Commey! Haney's Dad needs to sign a deal with Mayweather promotions to get Tank, or sign with GBP to get King Ry, or sign with Top Rank to get Lopez, Loma, and Shakur! If he stays with Hearn, he'll get what he has been getting!

Yes, I agree but that's his choice, so his problem.

But his management and/or promoter should be lobbying WBC hard to sanction mandatory fight against interim holder.

Thanks

Rolly too stationary for Haney.

The WBC can force Lopez to fight Haney, but I think Lopez would drop that "Franchise" title to fight Lomachenko. If Lomachenko wins, and Lopez wins, nobody will care about Haney! The rematch will be must-see TV!

I'm not as convinced as you that, in the unlikely event WBC was scrapping franchise titles and mandated Lopez-Haney for World Title, Lopez wouldnt move forward with that fight.

However, that's not gonna happen and, as TR has both Lopez and Loma, Haney is gonna need to look elsewhere!

Thanks.

He's gotta leave Hearn! The MatchRoom/DAZN deal is not working for him at all!

Should be a fairly easy outing for Haney. After the Linares near disaster, a step back kinda makes sense for Haney.

Rolly can hit though and Haney has a suspect chin, so it isn't like there won't be some drama even if we get to the championship rounds and Rolly hasn't won a single round.
