[j.razor]

my personal list:

1: tank davis
2: gamboa
3. loma
4. lopez
5. commey
6. ryan garcia
7. that japanese guy
8. javier fortuna
9. barthelemy
10. eric crumble
11. devin haney

You still in detractor mode....

If Arum had Haney he would be the second best lightweight in boxing. Funny how that works.

Correction, best LW in boxing.

Devin Haney can just go up to140 pounds with his 5'9" height advantage!?

You worried for l0m0? Good, you should be.

[j.razor]

Haney needs to test his skills against competitive former champions like Commey or Gambia to know his level at the division.

We already know his level, he made l0m0 surrender his belt so that should be good enough.

Lol Arum compares Haney with Tank. But completely fails to see that Haney is actually going for the big fights that Tank avoided

Haney still needs to prove himself, but if Arum isn't letting him fight his guys. Arum needs to blame himself.

I give Tank credit for taking on Gamboa in his first fight at 135. Haney still hasn't fought anyone on that level, and that's a past prime Gamboa...

At this point, Tank is more proven in my eyes, even if Haney is a mandatory. Pedraza and Gamboa are better than any names Haney has fought.

That doesn't mean I don't think much of Haney--- I actually have been impressed with him lately and think he is on track to being a named elite fighter.

If you watch Loma’s fights above 130 and then take a look at Haney it is clear when healthy he has all the attributes to make their fight extremely difficult for Loma to win.

Loma is great at fighting on the inside. Haney has the length, speed, height, Reach and athleticism to be able to fight from the outside and negate Loma’s inside advantage.

Doesn’t mean Haney would beat Loma if they fought, but Arum surely isn’t going to have them fight before the more profitable and winnable fights with Tank and Berchelt are made.

Bob being Bob. I would rank Haney as the #2 LW behind Loma right now. While he is still somewhat unproven, he passes the eyeball test.

Providing Loma beats Lopez, I would like to see a Haney/Tank eliminator for a shot at Loma. I know that will never happen, but we can dream.

Arum is saying this to hype this future fight a little, so Haney stays relatively known and legit as a Loma's future opponent, this way Loma will get at least some credit beating him

Yeah right, he's saying this so none of you ask for this fight, arum is worried about his investment. bob is shook

Why not have l0m0 fight both, win lose or draw?
