Comments Thread For: Arum: Loma-Stevenson Is More Competitive Than Loma-Haney!

[Ake-Dawg]

Most promoters wanna stay away from that tarnished 0 column for as long as possible.

Definitely wonky that boxing works in such a way that the best guys get 6, 7, 8 years into their careers before having a big fight often these days & some talented mfers never even have a big fight til they are on the slide down & in cashout mode.

Idk how you change that until the boxers have less power & some ent^ty whos looking out for boxing that isnt corrupt & doesnt currently exists comes on the scene & has the power to control fights that happen. Or state/country sanctioning bodies take more interest in only sanctioning evenly matched fights I guess that could do the job too, but I trust a new thing to come to be before I trust an old thing to change for the better.

Why should the boxers have less power? The power in sports should be in the hands of the fans and the athletes and no one else.

It's crazy how guys get move up to the top spots in rankings without fighting anyone you've ever heard of nowadays.

Well Lomo did it in less fights.

Haney at 135 would be more competitive against Lomachenko than Stevenson would, I think.

But obviously Arum will prefer to hype up a fight against his in-house guy.

Stevenson who? This guy is nowhere near top at 130 or 135.

[Mammoth]

Stevenson is too small

Wow that's low Arum, bringing Stevenson into this after Loma's friend and olympic games teammate Gvozdyk put him into a coma.

Arum is a pos

Even Bob know Farmer don't want to fight nobody

Maybe [Tevin] Farmer, although I don’t think Farmer would

[chrisJS]

Stevenson and Haney are comparable talents. Haney probably a little better and he’s quite a bit bigger so he’d be the more challenging fight.

[Ake-Dawg]

Haney length and strength is the reason Loma won't go to 140 and likely will move to 130 or seek money fights after his fight for the IBF.

[factsarenice]

If Davis fights Haney, Loma would be forced to fight the winner at 135. Like it or not that's the only way the math adds up.

Shaker hasn’t beaten anyone not a Gary Russell no body don’t even go there. Haney is a real fight for any dam body and so is Gervonta so make it happen Bob, I can’t do that Arum.
