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

[chrisJS]

I don't even understand your comment, man......

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.

Must be why he's continously called out Lomachenko

Can we, as in "REAL BOXING FANS, stop considering the WBC and WBA legit organizations from now on? This has now crossed over from comedy to tragedy. PBC doesnt consider the wbo belt as legit, which is wrong, so we should be able to do the same. Once REAL fans take a stand that is.

So not only does the WBA have about 15 champions per weight class, but the WBC now is protecting their champs too? Wtf. If Haney is the #1 contender and wants the fight, I don’t care if he’s 13 years old. Make the fight.

Would Bob even make that fight? I mean, I'd pick Loma but Bob likes it in house to reduce risk.

I don't think he would, but that is because Loma has bigger fish to fry.

Not sure how Haney can sign to fight some other guy and get gifted a title.

A world champ and not even faced anyone in the top 20 for the division.

I'm a bit confused by the anger towards Haney and Loma tbh

Nobody considered the WBO belt as legit until De lakers Hoya was given it in 2004 against sturm. As much as I love boxing over UFC, I agree there needs to be a reformation-like change in boxing. This **** is a ****ing joke.

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.

He Asked for the fight yet you don’t think he wants to fight lomachenko.

I could see if he didn’t ask for the fight or said he wouldn’t fight him.

Let me guess, you're a Loma fan?

If he moves up maybe it's because he's big?

And it was Bob creaming his Jeans over the idea of Loma becoming a franchise champion.
