before kambosos or Lopez were "wbc champions" Haney was the champ by the WBC and the ring magazine. At no point was Tank ever listed as a wba 135 lb champ on the ring website or in the magazine. What's is inconsistent about that? I have all the ring mags dating back for years. at no point was Tank ever listed as a lw champ in it or on the site. Haney was listed as the WBC champ in the mag and on the WBC website. Lopez was never listed as the WBC champ in the ring mag or on the site. Am I right or wrong? A simple yes or no will do. If I'm lying, point to the part of my post that is wrong.Comment

Ring Magazine is owned by Golden Boy Promotions and is one of many media outlets on DAZN's payroll that is pretending Kambosos isn't undisputed champion to try to force Kambosos to fight Haney on DAZN.
Ring Magazine isn't in charge of boxing and doesn't decide who the WBA world champion is. This is another example of you changing the subject to try to distract from how inconsistent you're being.At no point was Tank ever listed as a wba 135 lb champ on the ring website or in the magazine.
You're not lying, but you're not making any sense either. The WBA decides who their top champion is and publishes their decision in their ratings. The WBC decides who their top champion is and publishes their decision in their ratings. Ring Magazine has nothing to do with anything being discussed.What's is inconsistent about that?

The WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO all say George Kambosos is their top world champion, therefore he's the undisputed world champion. Tank & Haney have secondary titles.

I didn’t say he could or couldn’t. And I didn’t say the Franchise belt isn’t a joke either.
Both are irrelevant, Haney’s “belt” is worthless.Comment

Who’s blaming him?
It’s not his fault the WBC “elevated” their Champion with a new belt and then gave Haney a fake one. But that doesn’t change the fact that that happened.

If not blamed then he's certainly being disrespected for it.
They gave Haney a fake belt because Top Rank didn't want to have him hanging around as the mandatory to either Lomachenko or Teofimo Lopez.Comment

The reason's irrelevant, The fact of the matter is Haney's belt is not legitimate. It's not a real world title.
The WBC is obviously the root of the problem, but that doesn't change the fact that Haney's "belt" is as fake as it gets.Comment

Well, he at least tried to get the belt legitimately by putting himself in position to be #1 contender to Lomachenko.
Seems to me more of the disrespect that Haney is getting should be directed towards Lomachenko's team for dropping the belt and freezing Devin out of the picture entirely.Comment

No. Devin Haney cannot sue... yet.
I'm reading people's posts and I see there's a lot of confusion and misinformation. Misinformation that is being repeated so much, people are starting to believe it.
As of rightnow, Haney is the true WBC champion. The WBC belt Kambosos holds is the "Franchise" version which is a mickeymouse belt that isnt recognized by anyone.
Therefore, Devin has no case because all Mauricio Sulaiman said was "...Kambosos should be undisputed.."
The word "should" is what's saving him from a lawsuit. Had he said "Kambosos IS undisputed" and made it official on the organization's website, then Haney would have a case.
So as it stands rightnow, no damage has been done to Haney's status as the real WBC champion. No lawsuit is warranted.Comment

People dodge mandatories when it's a position of power, that's modern day boxing.

Floyd fought how many mandatories in his career? I don't even like the idea of mandatories in the first place.
Lomachenko deserves to be criticized for accepting the Franchise nonsense.
None of it changes the fact that Haney's belt is as far away from "real" as could be.Comment
