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

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

He has got a fight lined up against another D level fighter and is probably his best opponent to date.

If you talk the talk, then walk the walk.

If he wanted Loma, then why take on this guy, then say he wanted to fight him?

We can all talk big when we know we are safe.

Loma has publicly stated he ain’t fighting until next year and his next fight is against the Commey/Lopez winner.

What do you want Haney to do just sit out the next 9 months and wait?

If Loma becomes available and Haney doesn’t fight him or ducks him etc then you can criticise him.

But people criticising Devin for publicly stating he wants to fight Loma just look ******.

Bwahahahahahahaha

Look at the excuses

Bwahahahahahahaha

Who did Loma fight to earn his world title shot? Haney's resume is better than Loma's was before he got his world title shot

Bwahahahahahahaha

Loma wasn't ready for Salido. He lost. It didn't hurt his career.

Stop making excuses!! Loma stepped in and took Haney's title shot. He owes Haney a shot at that title.

Instead of getting his mandatory out of the way Loma is willing to sit out at least 8 months!!!!! Devin is staying busy and staying hungry.

Not making an excuse, the winner of the fight is of no personal consequence to me as long as it's a great fight - I like watching both fighters. I just think 12 months more experience for young Haney and miles on the clock for old Loma would make all the difference to the result, it's not rocket science.

You just scared lomo loses

Lol! Why would I be scared he loses? It's not effecting me in any way. I'm not taking punches.

That said, if you look in my earlier post, I WANT this fight to happen NOW.

He went quiet right after Lomachenko said that he hopes he gets to fight Teo and make him pay for everything he has said.

Then Teo goes on to struggle against a tall Japanese guy and right after the fight says "no more tall guys".

Then the possibility arises that he might not even fight Commey because hes having personal issues. I wonder why? Dad throwing his kid to the sharks. He might not even win. I'm not picking him to win are you? Let's not change history here.

And the both way thing. Half true.

Usyk did something. Haney hasnt. Haney is literally a nobody. Remember when Crolla of all people was talking about how he could beat Lomachenko. If Lomachenko didnt fight Crolla was that a duck?

Haney hasnt even beaten anyone with a pulse or someone even on the level or Crolla. That's not an excuse why Lomachenko cant fight him. That's a fact.

In fact Lomachenko fans want this fight now because everyone who hates Lomachenko is picking this kid over anyone 126-135 to beat Lomachenko.

They give Haney a better chance than GRJ, LDC, Tank, Berchelt, ANYONE.

Let me ask you and you answer.

Do you think Floyd ducked young Spence and Thurman?

Because I heard rumors that's Spence beat Mayweather up in sparring. Is it true? You tell me.

Sparring is sparring but the fight never happened did it,m. You tell me. Was it a duck?

Haney did do something-he won the eliminator and became the mandatory challenger.

If Loma didn't fight Crolla he just didn't fight him. Instead, he got that mando out of the way because Crolla was an easy mark. Haney clearly isn't as easy.

I haven't seen many people pick Haney to beat Loma. This thread is just about the call out. To the Loma fans like you that say Haney "hasn't done anything" you are flat out wrong.

Floyd has nothing to do with this. No he didn't duck Spence or Thurman. He just didn't fight them. You guys and this duck stuff are so immature and childish.

Everytime a fight doesn't happen some idiot calls it a duck and then the fans of the guy accused of ducking get in their feelings. Stop letting name calling make you react.

[The Big Dunn]

Yes, talk when you ain't got a fight lined up.
Talking after you got the fight is him just trying to use Loma's name to promote his fight.


Nope. When do you expect Loma to fight Haney? January? That would scupper the IBF title fight.

Haney just talking because he knows he is safe now.

Loma is making history while Haney is struggling to make a little noise.

Loma isn't a a big enough draw for you to claim anyone is using his name to promote his fight. Haney is his mando and he is asking for a fight.

No it wouldn't, it just means the fight happens later on in the year. Besides, you claimed Loma would smoke Haney. If that is the case there is no reason not to get the mando out of the way similar to Crolla.

Loma isn't making history, he is waiting to fight the winner of Comney/Lopez.

Biggest draw under 147lbs by far.
And if Haney wanted the fight then why sign to fight someone else when he is the mandatory.

His actions betray his words.

Loma has already made history and will make it again.
Haney means nothing to Loma's legacy, he isn't that big of a fish.

Then what is the delay Loma? Then come and get it motherfucker? If Spence can fight Crawford before he is done unifying all of the title belts on the PBC side, then why can't Vasily Lomachenko do the same on the Top Rank side?

Why can't he fight his WBC mandatory challenger before becoming undisputed? Also, why is the bar set higher for Erroll Spence, Jr than it is for Vasily Lomachenko? These are just some of the questions, that I would like to know.

Both Errol and Crawford are considered the top dogs of 147. Also that fight seems ages away negotiation wise, which is making fans restless. Vasyl is one belt away from undisputed and Bob already has a timeline laid out for him to pick up the final belt. As good as haney has been, he’s not as proven so obviously the hype isn’t there for him vs Loma, like Crawford vs Spence. Errol still has to get Pac in the ring which is very unlikely, so for him to pick up the third belt seems far away.

For the record I understand why Spence is taking the path he’s taking. But you’re asking why the fans aren’t demanding a P4P Champion vs a top prospect fight the same way they’re demanding a P4P champ vs a P4P champ fight. What do you think the answer is?

D4th please STFU. Loma doesn't draw crowds the size of Ramirez (140) has in his hometown. Loma is clearly one of the 2 best in the sport but he is not a top draw.

He wants to keep fighting while Loma "waits" for the Comney/Lopez winner. Funny, but in the past you reward fighters for doing that. Why the sudden change?

Whether its a legacy defining fight or not for Loma is irrelevant. Haney is the mando. If you can get the Crolla mando out of the way then Loma can do the same here. He will not because Haney is much more difficult.

You don't have to runaway from your mandatory challengers in order to chase a belt.

His paychecks says he is.
Boxing is a worldwide sport, and gate money is only a fraction of what is generated.


Haney can want to keep fighting or he can want to fight Loma, can't do both. If he would have really wanted Loma he would have ran his mouth before. Then it could have been made.

But he signed to fight someone else and when it was safe then he decides to act big.

Nope, Loma will look after his career, no charity for Haney.
Maybe if he would step up his level he could have be worth something, at the moment he is worth nothing.

Haney ran away by signing to fight someone else.

Drawing power is about the size of the crowd. He isn't a top draw.

If I am correct, He didn't make his statement after Loma said he was going to wait to fight the comney/lopez winner next. My guess is Haney was surprised by that decision knowing Loma was eager to fight Crolla , who was an easy mark. Haney is the mando and he has the right to ask for a title shot he has earned.

Haney just wants his fair shot. Shame some of Loma's fans are so afraid of having this fight made.
