    I honestly don't know. Of course I would favor Loma going in. I am not confident enough to guarantee a Haney victory,

However, if you have watched all of Loma's pro career, I think the attributes of a fighter that has the best chance to beat him-taller bigger, longer arms, faster and more athletic,- Haney has all of those attributes which IMO would've made for a great style matchup.

      I get it-the WBC's 3% they get is much bigger when the fighter is a bigger draw.
      Yeah, as a fight in itself I could definitely go for it, with the sole reservation that I'd rather see the wunderkind actually face a little adversity first... thing is there's gonna be a never ending stream of fabulous looking young talent coming through, but many will fall flat on their faces when they first face a real challenge. I don't really want to see that happen against one of the best in the world, that's what gatekeepers are for. I know Devin's mando, but for me I'd like to see him face someone a little more proven than Abdullaev first.

      Regardless I kinda hope he does get the shot, although I'd rather see Loma vs Tank or the Lopez - Commey winner while Devin gets a semi decent opponent under his belt.

      EDIT: Not, of course, that I'm expecting we'll be lucky enough to get more than one of those fights, if that. Guess the most likely would be the Lopez - Commey winner, the other two... well, I won't be holding my breath.

            The regular canyon belt is worse.

            I don't care about them giving pearl, diamond, Mayan belts etc. They're joke belts. Give them away in Christmas *******s for all I care.

            But when you start giving away your actual regular champion belt you make that worthless too.

              The canyon belt?

              How about the "legacy" belt?

                  Love the sport but don’t give a **** who’s WC. 5+ WC titles is beyond a joke.

                    Would the trainers have to pay sanctioning fees

                      **** it.

                      Let's start handing out crowns instead of belts. See a dude walk to the ring with like five crowns stacked up on his head and his entourage walking along and balancing them on his head. Now that would be funny....
