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

[D4thincarnation]

Haney is the mandatory. All he is doing is calling for the title shot that is rightfully his.

For the life of me I don't get why some of you guys don't want to see good fights.

Rank the fights in order.

Lomachenko vs Lopez/Commey
Lomachenko vs Davis/Gamboa
Lomachenko vs Haney.


If you are calling for the Haney fight before the others it is you that does not want to see the good fights.

His powerful promoter did not beat all those world champions, did not win 5 world titles, did not become a world champion in 3 fights, did not make history by becoming a two weight world champ in 7 fights or 3 weight world champion in 13 fights.

Berchelt can get it, he has actually done something in the sport. Let me know when Haney has done something.

And Top Rank wanted Haney, I wonder why he chose not to have a powerful promoter backing him?

Again, Haney chose to fight someone else, and is only talking once it is safe.


Boxing fans want to see the best fights, but true to form you prove you are no boxing fan.

His promoter got him the fights before he earned them. Now Haney has earned his fight, he wants the same chance to make history. Would be nice if Loma would do for the sport what Salido did.

Loma didn't fight Berchelt at 130 when he was clearly the man there. You usually are against fighting people "too late".

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

Haney saw how Mikey got treated by TR so he went somewhere else. Haney has seen, for example, Bob make Cotto come in at 145 to give Manny the edge. Haney knew Bob "chose" Loma and would screw any of the guys near Loma's weight. So he went out and without the backing of Arum earned his title shot the hard way. he wasn't gifted a shot like Loma against Salido.

Why wouldn't Loma/Haney be one of "the best fights"? Haney has the exact attributes you want in a fighter facing Loma-speed, reach advantage, athleticism. Yes he is young but he is very skilled and talented. The other guys you mention-Tank, Lopez- have the power but not the other attributes.

Hmmmm!!!

Styles make fights, not age or experience. Haney has the exact attributes you want in a fighter facing Loma-speed, reach advantage, athleticism. Yes he is young but he is very skilled and talented. The other guys you mention-Tank, Lopez (who most expect to beat Gamboa and Commey)- have the power to KO loma (moreso than Haney) but not the other attributes.

Haney very possibly could be the most difficult test for Loma.

Boxing is not a charity, you have to take things, they don't get given to you.

If Berchelt wants it, he can get it too.

They are all lining up for the big pay day Loma gives them now. He is the big draw.

They have to earn that shot though, and they have to prove themselves worthy to add something to Loma's legacy.

Haney is way down the queue.

Unfortunately your opinion means very little.
Legacy and making history means a lot more to Loma.


Too bad Haney has been taking easy street for far too long instead of taking some big fights. But I don't think that was an accident.

Once Loma goes back down, watch Haney grab a vacant belt.

Wait you asked to rank the fights. I ranked Haney ahead of Tank and Lopez and gave reasons why. Now you shift back to legacy. Tells me you know Haney's attributes are the toughest for Loma.

Haney isn't taking the easy road. he took the hard road, won the eliminator, and now wants to fight Loma, the toughest fight at LW.

Of course Haney wants the fights. he just asked for it. Loma did have the Salido shot given to him. He also had Bob designate him #1 in the WBA (i believe) that fast tracked the wba title shot. Loma is a very good boxer but he has had the benefit of Bob's back door workings.

Berchelt didn't get it at 130 when he should've had it. I just want to make sure you criticize the fight for not happening "when it should have", as you have in the past. Just stay consistent.

Haney did earn it. Haney is also worthy in that he possesses the skills that would make for the type of stylistic match-up that real boxing fans want to see.

How great would it be to see Loma fight where he isn't the fastest, tallest or most athletic boxer in the ring? We could get the kind of epic Chavez/ Taylor fight that would do much more for Loma's legacy, which you seem very concerned about.

I guess Loma isn't built like Chavez and Salido who overcome disadvantages to win.

Nope, I said your opinion doesn't matter.

Asked for it when he signed to fight someone else.

Like I said, talk is cheap, actions speak louder.

Haney has no chance to win the poll, given the effeminate way you designed it. A more honest poll would be Tank/Gamboa winner, Lopez/Commey winner or Haney, which even then I doubt Haney would win.

You are such a f@g that you went on for 4 hours about legacy and then listed potential opponents who don't add anything to Loma's legacy. LMFAO!!

Like you said, actions speak louder than words.
