You can't unify the division if you mandatory signs to fight another fighter as well and they still take your title from you.
What did you want Loma to do, forget about the Commey vs Lopez winner and fight Haney? When should he fight Haney?
Boxing fans know Loma is the real champ, and will go on to become undisputed, and Haney is just a paper champ.
Do you think he will fight anyone with a pulse next year?
Maybe 5 years and 30 fights still won't be enough for him to step up.Comment

That is boxing politics.
You want him to fight WBC mandatory, then WBA mandatory and then WBO mandatory?
He could have fought Haney in November, but Haney signed to fight someone else
Crazy how they robbed Lomo, but I guess that was the only way they could gift Haney a title.
At his current rate of progress he might be fighting a top 5 fighter in 5 years times after 40 fights.Comment

“We didn’t hear nobody protesting, ‘Why can’t we just fight Devin Haney for this title?’” claims the elder Haney. “He wanted Lomachenko, right? So he got Lomachenko in his backyard. He showed Lomachenko was vulnerable, but he didn’t get in his ass like he should have, like he really wanted that mutha f---a.”
Elder Haney sounds like a real positive addition to the human race, 'wanted that mutha f---a.'. Shows no respect. Treats opponents like they are not human. Why don't you both go knock someone out in the street. That's the mentality of the losers who have no respect for other opponents or human kind for that matter. And this comes on the heels of Day dying. Unbelievable. You'd never hear lomachenko's dad or Loma calling Haney a mutha ****a. Just comments more in line with what has he actually done? Who has he actually fought?
Enough on that topic though. We know where Haney and his dad stand, if Haney Jr. at all is influenced by his father. The fact that Haney talks like a 15 year old says a lot about the influence his father has on him in not mentoring him on what it means to evolve as you grow older and reach adulthood. Name calling every other time he's called out Loma in the past two months. Just childish.
With that said, Loma never turned down Haney. Loma was quiet for a month an a half after his win over Campbell. He always takes the month after a fight off away from media to recoop and go fishing, out of the spotlight. He was resting and out of the media. His next focus though was not Haney. Why in the world does Haney think he supersedes the fourth belt? Loma was lined up to fight Commey earlier this year until Commey got hurt. That was always the next step after Campbell.
And the first time we've heard from Loma was after he was appointed franchise. And he said that two fights he'd like in 2020 besides the fourth belt is with Haney and with Tank.
Loma has been calling out Tank for two years now. But the bashers on here want to say Loma is ducking Haney? What about Tank avoiding Loma for two years? Well Loma just said it. He'd like to fight Haney after the fourth belt.
Now how this all plays out with Haney inheriting Loma's belt, I don't know. It's all a little weird for me and the highers that may be need to explain it well for me to digest it.
But to think the reason Arum chased it, if he is the one from Top Rank that asked for it, which no one knows for sure, was because Loma was afraid of Haney is lame. Who the **** has Haney fought? What's his resume that speaks of anything. Loma has mandatories with the other two belts he owns also. Unification, if that can be had now, was always next, not Haney.
If Haney were offered Franchise, or Tank was offered Franchise, you don't think in a heart beat that they wouldn't take it? But it goes to fighting cans out the door or asking for the top fighters out the door. One typical with 99% and the other atypical and start of a new trend. But you have to have the goods to back it up. Best amateur in the the history of boxing and two time Gold Medalist is the pedigree Loma came in with, what Arum was working with. Gary Russel in his third fight was crazy courageous and all on him to live up to his resume. Gary was undefeated and after the loss has been tearing it up every since too. Loma was an anomaly.
Typical approach to look good and maintain that perfect record:
