Come on Kev, it's not like Hearn made the match-up to protect Haney. JoJo fought his way into position, and due to Garcia's supposed injury, JoJo bypassed the final eliminator and fought Haney. Sometimes, the sanctioning body match-ups happen to favor the title-holder.
Why do you dislike him? Honestly, I'm surprised that he's growing on me because I'm partial to punchers.
He somehow “earned” a WBC title shot, not sure how, and tried to get the Lomachenko fight, acting entitled. Acting like he is actually supposed to fight Lomachenko over anyone else. He deserved the shot at the WBC title even over the then IBF champion Teofimo Lopez, who got the Lomachenko shot by beating Nakatani and IBF champion Commey.
Which is I also hate all 4 ABC titles and their crap rankings.
As a promoter, you can basically “buy” your fighter a ranking. You can buy your fighter a title shot.
So that’s why I don’t like Devin Haney. He somehow “deserved” a shot at the WBC champion, out of nowhere. And won it by beating no one of note.
If he wasn’t a “champion” I would not care. I just hate seeing fighters get title shots out of nowhere. Canelo vs Matthew Hatton, Pacquiao vs Margarito, GGG vs Milton Nuñez, etc. All these phony title matches.
It makes me want 1 title per weight class to come back, even though I was not around at that time. It sounds a lot better than what we see today. And imagine fighters earning title shots by actually earning by beating big name fighters.
Today, this is boxing:
Get/Win a title shot first, then fight the tough fighters.
It used to be:
Beat the the tough fighters first, then get a title shot.

He got the win but didn’t really impress.
