Comments Thread For: Malignaggi Backs Lomachenko To Beat Haney, Explains Why Loma Has The Edge

[Clegg]

Haney tried to fight younger Loma, tried to fight Teo (who asked for 10M to take the fight), tried to fight Ryan. He took a one-sided deal to get the Kambosos fight. Gamboa was a disappointing opponent but Haney isn't a cherry picker like he's suggesting.

That's what some people have been saying. Commey, Nakatani, Pedraza, these were all accessible fighters available for Haney with zero promotional issues. But he picked retired and low level opponents, instead.

None of the fighters you mentioned are any better than Jo Jo Diaz. Haney didn't have to fight Lomachenko who's better than any of them. Claiming that Haney ducked anyone is a fictional narrative.

This guy is blinded by, you know what. He's elevating Diaz like he's some above average boxer. He just got lost his last two fights and one of them is against part-time boxer Gesta. Are you really serious about this or you want to explain further why you think Jojo is better than those guys?

Pauli's synopsis has way too many holes in it! Haney wanted to fight Loma a while back and instead had to beat the guy who beat the guy who beat the guy in another country to get his titles. So here we are.

I see what Paulie is saying, but Haney isn't ducking smoke, and he trains hard he's not scared of anyone. Wait a minute... A yo Fu.k u Paulie. U got butt fu.ked by Shawn Porter and u got ur sh.t bust wide open by a bare knuckle fighter who can't even box. Punk ass mof'ing zip

I enjoy loma's style way more but put mad money on haney so he better hug the living **** out of loma so i can collect.

Yup. That's what's up.

I'm not elevating anyone. I just pointied out that the fighters you mentioned are no better than Diaz and you have nothing that proves otherwise. No need for you to embellish what I said just because you have no answers.


It doesn't matter what Diaz just did because Haney fought him before those losses. Anything after that is irrelevant.

Where is the answer? I asked you to explain why you think Diaz is better than those guys I mentioned. You ditched the guys I mentioned, which I thought fought better opponents than Diaz. Heck, why are we here for if not for those details or histories? We might as well just guess away like 7 yr old kids.

I agree, you gotta give props to Haney for going overseas to win what he has

Yep - Even though I'm pulling for Loma, I completely respect Haney for believing in himself, betting on himself, and coming up roses. Definitely an intriguing matchup.

Paulie once again with the best commentary, how DAZN has not picked him up is mind boggling
