Comments Thread For: Haney: I Don't Like Loma; I Want To Beat Him Bad... Send Him Into Retirement

Devin deserves respect. He's one of the best slap boxers of the last 50 years. Maxie Rosenbloom would be proud of this kid

Calzaghe is going to invite him for dinner soon too.

Such a ****** argument that Loma avoided Haney when he wasn't relevant and had no belts, Loma was trying to become undisputed in the division and collect the belts there was no reason at all to fight Haney he isn't a ppv draw, he hadn't fought anybody of note and he had no belts whatsoever.

People can run with that narrative all they want it's just simply ****** and wrong ppl just like to hate on Loma.

You can't be undisputed by dropping your belt to avoid a mandatory son.

Try again.

Haney and Loma are not guys who talk up a fight much.

But it's okay, they're top quality boxers and it's a better fight than Davis-Garcia.

Just dont make it a snooze fest Devin!

Lomachenko is going pick Haney apart. I like George Kambosos and I give Haney full credit for shutting him down twice, but GK is not Lomachenko. Lomachenko is way older and way smaller, but he's also way smarter than Haney and this is the biggest legacy fight of all for him, so he's going to bring his A game. Lomachenko by UD or late KO.

Unification trumps mandatories. Taking a fight to fully unify against the IBF champ was always going to be more important than defending against an unknown mandatory.

It's absolutely insane how many people don't understand that the whole thing was a cash grab by Sulaiman and the WBC. They had just created the Franchise nonsense for Canelo in September 2019 and they were desperate to try to get their blatant cash grab a measure of legitimacy by bestowing it on as many of the acknowledged P4P fighters of the time. This then enabled them to elevate their mandatory to champion status, and they further compounded things by having an interim champion, so they could have 3 sets of fighters paying them sanctioning fees.

Remember the WBA created the "Super" champion designation as well, for exactly the same reason, in 2000, and the organizations got to watch them charge double and triple sanctioning fees for decades. The news pundits have continued to support their nonsense by dignifying the secondary champions, like Tank Davis, as "world champions" even though they're little more than mandatories who don't have to enforce a mandatory status to fight the real champ and can just coast on their fake champ status. So it should be little surprise that the WBC got jealous and greedy.

Who all got franchise designations? Canelo, Lomachenko, and Juan Francisco Estrada. Wilder was supposed to be offered one, but Crawford flatly refused to accept one. That's a large chunk of the P4P guys at the time with WBC belts. Another thing that was in common is that WBC offered them the belts, except, apparently, Loma when he requested to fight Lopez, if you want to believe Sulaiman. Loma has said repeatedly that he didn't request the belt, and his motivation has been to fight for undisputed for the whole time he has fought at lightweight. What's more likely, that Sulaiman is lying, and that they actually forced the franchise tag on him as a condition for him to get the fight with the IBF champ? Or that Loma was "ducking" a total unknown in Haney and instead chose to fight the soft touch of the explosive young IBF champ, who was so much less of a threat than Haney, and did so by "requesting" the franchise tag?

This whole narrative is such an insane thing. We can also mention that around this time was also when Haney made his "white boy" racist comment about Loma. So his dislike of Loma has been around for a long time, and you can make up your own mind where it comes from. And it's not from Loma not giving him a chance. He only walked that back after taking a bunch of criticism and getting called personally by Sulaiman.

We'll soon find out next week. Can't wait.

He’s just trying to hype up this fight that nobody is talking about. Creating another fake beef for all the knuckle draggers to hang onto.

So are you implying that Haney is selling wolf tickets?

Fighting Kambosos and Gamboas wont make you ready for the Matrix.
