Comments Thread For: Lomachenko Named WBC "Franchise" Champ, Haney Upgraded To Full

[Sledgeweather17]

Haney will fight for the vacant WBC regular strap. Nonsense. I won't consider Haney a WBC champ unless he beats Loma. They're just trying to make more money from sanctioning 'world title' fights and using the belts to sell fights better. Also Charlo isn't a champion unless he beats Canelo.

Your tone is a little harsh considering the fact that both Charlo and Haney pushed for those fights and it was actually Canelo and Loma who didn't want no smoke.

Also remember that Loma and top rank actually stole the vacant title from Haney by going behind the scenes to bribe the wbc into having Loma as Campbell's opponent instead of Haney.

None of this is Haney's fault, top rank and Loma are now ducking him after conspiring to steal the title from him. Take note that the article implicitly mentions that Top Rank requested Loma be made Franchise Champion, no doubt in lieu of the fact that Haney has been demanding to get his shot as soon as possible.

Eddie and Luke would love that. It would make it the third time for Luke to try to win the WBC lightweight title, I believe.

If Haney KOs Cambell he'll make a statement proving he deserves the belt and all the hype

I'm saying Haney is a clown acting like he "won" the WBC title. I think he'll hide behind it or move up because I don't think he wants to fight Lomachenko.

You don't understand emojis do you? The emoji he put next to the tweet CLEARLY shows that he is displeased about this.

Also, why would Haney use this as a way to duck Loma? Did you even read the article? The article CLEARLY states that it was TOP RANK who asked the wbc to give Loma Frachise status, in other words, it is LOMA who is ducking his mandatory, not the other way around.

Bare in mind that Haney was originally scheduled to fight for the wbc vacant title but Top Rank bribed the wbc to put Loma ahead of Haney and have him fight Campbell instead of Haney.

Haney is the one that has been trying to do things the right way, and Top Rank/Loma has been screwing him over and ducking him after.

Get your facts straight.

Fighters tend to do that to build buzz a lot these days. Call out the bigger fighters to piggyback off them and build a following.

If Haney opts to go the route of fighting WBC cans and/or moves up next year we'll know his intentions all along. He can get a Lomachenko fight after he adds the IBF belt if he wants it since it's clear Tank will still stay away.

WBC happy to avoid the young fighter getting a loss and keep collecting fee's off Hearn's purses.

Again you got your facts wrong.

If Haney moves up it don't mean shieeet! Its public knowledge that Haney is tight at the weight, that's why he wanted to fight Loma as soon as possible so that he can move up afterwards.

He wanted to fight for and win a title at 135 first before moving up, and he wanted to fight Loma, both opportunities were taken away by Top Rank/Loma and the WBC's conniving.

Great, another new low in boxing. They just keep coming.

As of today haney has called out loma out about 100 times so far. You dont pay attention much do you? Im not sure why you would say he doesn't wont the fight. Im guessing its because you just dont like any & we all know why. Anyway if you want someone to be pissed at, aim your hate towards the wbc. They are the ones who gave him that title.

Nah he should aim his hate towards his idol Loma, he is the one who asked the wbc to grant him this status, and he is the one that has completely ignored Haney's call outs.

People have short memories. They act like Loma is this fearless God, they forget that this is the same Loma who ducked Rigo until he had a two weight class advantage and Rigo was old as dirt.

Wow, this is pathetic. I can't even say the WBC is the worst cause all these orgs are trash

The IBF is not trash. They follow the rules to a t.

Before you go complaining about their rankings, that is precisely why their rankings are poor, because these spoiled b**** and their promoters don't want to follow strict rules, so they avoid being ranked in the IBF.

They don't want the 10 pound clause, or to be forced to fight mandatories, so they go after the more "flexible" orgs.

[Sledgeweather17]

This has to be a goddamn joke, people are getting belts for doing nothing and then you have franchise champions left and right so the WBC can get more money from sanctiong fees? What has Haney done to become a champion? Just as much as Charlo. Nothing.

He got ducked by Loma to become champion, same way Charlo got ducked by Canelo to become champion.

[joseph5620]

It keeps his status. It's basically like the WBA super champion stuff. He just can't lose the status even if he lost a fight which is bizarre. So, as long as he doesn't lose between now and Lopez-Commey it's undisputed.

The WBC are arguably worse than the WBA. Both need to go away.

It's nothing like the WBA super champion status. If can't be won or lost in the ring and there are no mandatory obligations.The belt is meaningless and just a way of allowing the fighters awarded that belt to avoid their mandatory challenger. No other purpose other than that

Pretty sure it was Rigo that turned down the fight in the lower weight classes orignally and if you watched the fight Loma outclassed him, weight difference isn't what won that fight.
