    Unlike Teo, Haney is a top talent and actually wants the fight.

    If he takes an L, big deal. Learning experience and maybe we can get away from the “if he has a L he’s a bum” mentality that’s plagued boxing over the last decade.

      Won't happen. People lose and we all shit on them and say they should retire. It's not right but it's how the fans deal with things.

        Bob have a little Tournament with Commey and Lopez, if they win their next fight they face each other and the winner gets Loma. To me doing it that way makes the Loma fight BIGGER! Haney is likely going to have to wait awhile. He won't get Loma for a long time considering how slow the WBC moves.

          I like this move. If he loses its a great learning experience. If he wins the boxing world is his oyster & then mfers can make some real Floyd comparisons.

          And hearing Devin talk recently I think he's a smart cat with a plan & I don't foresee him fighting at 30. I think this CTE sh^t is gonna have more cats getting in, making moves & getting out.
          Wasn’t that Linares fight more about Loma tearing his right labrum in right shoulder early on?

            Haney would be his third best rival.

                If Haney signed with bob he would never let him fight Loma. Similar to how he never let Floyd fight cotto and Oscar. But Loma probably wins now

                  Loma fights who after Campbell though? That little Bob tournament won't be done for a while.

                    Haney and Lopez both have tremendous upside. Their only issue is that they have had relatively soft opposition. I want to see what happens when they start getting touched up. Loma will touch them up. Can they handle it? Make the fights and we will soon see.

                      These young guns aren’t ready for loma, but they sure will be in a few years. No point rushing him to fight lomachenko, it doesn’t matter if a fighter takes an L, some fighters never recover from there loss so why not make it for as much money as possible which isn’t right now
