Comments Thread For: Haney: I Want Lomachenko Right Now, Not When He's 'Older'

[Flo_Raiden]

His mandatories are Lopez, Davis and Haney. Lopez ( the wba and wbo mando)is fighting Comney for the title so if he wins as expected that will eliminate him as mando.

Davis is the IBF mando. I don't know if they will fight. Haney has just as much right as anyone else.

As far as I know the plan is to bring Berchelt up from 130 to finally fight him (passed on him when he was the top guy at 130) not go back down to 130.



Haney doesn't have the same promotional power behind him. Arum got Loma ranked as the mandos for these titles using his power and influence back door. Haney wa supposed to get the title fight Loma got.

Haney is also 21. Loma winning world titles is reflective of his age and the lack of talent in the division. Haney has accomplished much more as a pro at age 21 than Loma did.

I think I get it-Haney is a real threat and you guys would rather Loma face easier guys like Crolla and Campbell and get belts than fight guys far more talented than they are but who have accomplished less because they are younger or lack the powerful promotional backing.

In what way, shape or form does beating the likes of Burgos and Abdullaev makes Haney a "real" threat to Loma, let alone a bigger threat than Davis, Commey or Berchelt???
Are people seriously trying to make Haney into this boogeyman for Loma, just like how Rigo was?

He will never get him. Loma will face Commey vs. Lopez winner, then he'll face his WBA mandatory which is winner or Tank vs. Gamboa.

And any boxing fan who knows boxing know this is the best path not only for Loma's legacy but for the fans as well.

Gamboa vs Loma would be a great fight to watch.

If he's put himself in line for Loma then he's gonna have to wait his turn like the rest of the fighters. You have Gervonta Davis, Teo Lopez, Commey in line already that want their shot at Loma as well, so obviously Loma should fight those guys first before Haney can get his. And as far as I'm concern Haney isn't on the same level as Davis or Commey yet.

come on dude. comney/lopez is next for the IBF belt. he isn't going to fight both, he is going to fight the winner. Davis has a fight with Gamboa. He could fight the mando with Haney now and get it out of the way.

Instead, you and others are allowing Loma to fight no one just so you can see him possibly unify the division. If Haney is such an easy win why not get the mando out of the way like he did with Crolla?

respectfully, Haney is ranked #1 same as Lopez, He may not be "on his level" IYO, but he earned his spot nonetheless and should get his title shot.

I didn't post or imply he was a bigger threat than any of those guys so I don't understand why you would ask that.

I haven't seen any poster suggest Haney would beat Loma so I'm not sure why you bring up the boogieman comment. You can't seem to focus on the issue at hand-your asking Haney to earn a shot he already earned.

Comney may not beat Lopez, if he doesn't, Loma isn't fighting him. Berchelt has never fought at 135 to my knowledge. Quite possibly he could be like Morales at 135 or Broner at 147 and find the weight is too much for him. Would've loved to see Loma/Berchelt at 130 but Loma didn't fight him before moving up. Davis too my knowledge hasn't fought at 135 either.

I guess you guys see Haney's speed, athleticism and skill and perceive him as a threat. otherwise I figure you guys would be ok with Loma fighting him and getting the mando out of the way before unifying the titles as was the case with Crolla.

If you don't see him as a threat, then why are you and others asking him to earn a shot at a title he earned already by winning the eliminator?

Every boxing fan agrees that Loma should fight the winner of Commey and Lopez, then fight the winner of Gamboa and Tank.

That is 2020 sorted, and Loma wants to go back down and hold titles at three weights and beat other Champs.

Loma will be out of boxing game before he is 35.

If Haney really want a shot then he better start making himself a start and collecting belts.

Every boxing fan doesn't agree with that. Even if they do, there is a window where Loma could get his WBC mando out of the way before the unification fight, same as he did with Crolla.

The plan isn't for him to go back down, but to bring Berchelt, a guy he avoided at 130, up to 135. We don't know how Berchelt will do at 135.

Haney earned his spot, he doesn't need to collect belts to further earn the spot.

The fight between Commey and Lopez is expected to be on December 14, less than 2 months away and Loma wants to make sure he gets a fight signed against the winner once their fight is settled. There's no way he can get a fight with Haney in between all that in a short amount of time when he's waiting for the opportunity to get the fight made with Commey/Lopez ASAP. You are asking Loma to try and squeeze in time to get a fight made with Haney first before Commey/Lopez, when he could just wait less than 2 months to negotiate for a much bigger fight.

Crolla wasn't even a fight that Loma's team wanted, they were supposed to fight Commey but he had to withdraw due to injuries and had no choice but to face Crolla.

[The Big Dunn]

Loma will unify the division put his name in history and then win tittles at feather and super feather and hold 3 titles at 3 different weights.

Matching the achievements of Whitaker, Duran and Armstrong.

Loma doesn't need Haney and offers nothing for Loma's legacy, far bigger fighters for him to have.

If only Haney would have done more and got a belt then Loma would school him as well.

I guess Haney's management was wise not to make him a target.

Haney is only giving the mouth now because he knows he is safe because Loma has bigger fish to fry.

Nothing you posted is relevant. Haney has earned his title shot. Loma has space in his schedule.

If Haney is going to get schooled, ok, school him before you fight to unify just as you did Crolla.

No he doesn't.

Haney preferred to fight Petr Petrov next month.

Maybe Haney should have ran his mouth before taking this fight?

Loma will look to take the IBF title in the first quarter next year.
