Comments Thread For: Haney: If I'm So Easy, No-Machenko Should Get Me Out The Way

[j.razor]

Even now Haney would be one of Lomachenko's most difficult opponents but it probably only benefits the kid to hone his skills against a contender like Campbell, Linares or Fortuna in the meantime. It's a fight that needs to happen in 2020 and will be considered a legacy fight for the winner when all is said and done

No delaying, they trying to duck Devin.

Motherphucker call out Lopez, Stank, Shakur.. Earn your stripes puta

You scared

Am I the only one who thinks Haney would walk through any punch Loma would throw at him?

I can see this being a bad and dangerous matchup for Loma.

That's why they gon duck Devin.

I like the idea of Loma fighting the Commey vs. Lopez winner for the "undisputed," but the long wait is killing the enthusiasm! Commey vs. Beltran was unnecessary!
It pushed everything backwards! If he was ready for Ray, he should've been ready for Lopez!

I don't like Haney doing all this talking when he knows Arum has plans for Loma! Hearn can't complain about Arum because Loma has already beat Crolla and Campbell! I think Hearn should go into his own bag for Haney, and I think Tevin Farmer should be the man! He doesn't have a big fight: No Tank, No Jo Jo Diaz, so why not go up and fight Haney? It would also be good for Haney because Farmer is a slick southpaw, he has a longer reach than Lomachenko, and he hasn't loss in 7 years! Haney is the fight Farmer needs, and Farmer is the test Haney needs! MAN UP!

I want to see Devin vs l0m0.

Here is the thing these scenarios are always a win win for the Challenger

Haney looses now, it will be widely acknowledged that it was too early, and a great learning experience.

For Lomachenko to win he will get no credit for the very same reason.

Keep calling out Loma get your name in the press.

After following boxing for two decades now I accept now that pro boxing is simply a business first and nothing else.

All I can do is sit on the sidelines and hope for good fights to take place.

The rest is just a waist of time.

So hope for Devin vs l0m0. Fvk all the other dumb shet.

Tank on one side Devin on the other

We almost got that duck cornered

Let's see you get outta this duck.

The plan is to duck to 130

To be fair - I would say that Stevenson's ability to time would cause more problems for Loma than Haney's power.

Power only means something if you can hit the target - and I'm not sure Haney could. Might, but I'm not sure based on what I've seen of him.

The whole weight class thing might actually work in Stevenson's favor. Loma wasn't anywhere near as fast when he went up vs. when he was lower. And we're not dealing with a Rigo situation; Shakur will throw.

I say Devin beats both.

Is Haney sure he should want that smoke just yet, don't get me wrong I'm already a fan this kid has got future p4p written all over him. But although it's exciting the speed of Haneys rise he's still got a bit to learn and it's mostly stuff you gain in the ring rising through the ranks and it's stuff your going to of learnt by the time you face people as good as lomachenko.

I think it's too soon but Haney and his dad clearly don't agree. If it got made I'd be excited for it, If it doesn't then its still some good publicity for Haney.

We want to see that fight, l0m0 better not duck like he's planning to.

Campbell did, he fought Linares and lost a SD. He was also an Olympic gold medalist. He was more experienced and had a better amateur pedigree. But most importantly he was the #1 contender with the WBC when Mikey vacated which meant Lomachenko had to fight him if he wanted the WBC belt.


I have no problem with Lomachenko-Haney in December/January, but from a risk/reward standpoint, it doesn't make sense to me. From the risk: We saw Lomachenko struggle with Campbell's size and Haney is the same size, plus faster and stronger. From the reward: Haney is 20 yrs old and hasn't fought a soul.


I think the time for this fight is the summer/fall 2020 after Lomachenko unifies with the Commey-Lopez winner as at that point he'll have all the belts and Haney will be his first mandatory. I'd like to see Eddie match Haney a little tougher than Moran or Abdullaev in the meantime. We've seen him look spectacular against that level opponent. Let's see what he looks like against the next tier.

That's when l0m0 will duck to 130.

Big words, but I don't think they're going to derail this kid's career by letting him fight Loma now so this comes across as good press, nothing more. If he really wants to fight Loma, cool, but everybody says this shyt, then they turn into Gervonta Davis.
