    I'm not sure I have to ask Arum when Mayweather himself said he will make Loma wait.

      Floyd isn't Davis. Please separate them. Floyd is a dictator and a little bitch.

        Davis is a bum. 11 rounds to take out a one legged over the hill fighter. Haney wipes the floor with him.

          I think it’s a 50/50 type matchup, especially at 130 considering Gervonta will possibly have trouble making the limit. At 135 I lean towards Tank as I think LSC will be moving up unnaturally.

          Should be a good fight regardless though, I could actually see it being controversial as on one hand you have the volume and effective aggression of Santa Cruz and on other hand the efficiency and accuracy of Davis. It somewhat reminds me of Mayweather-Castillo.

            Teofimo, Haney and Garcia seem to want the big fights soon. That's ok, they are guys that in a few years will be campaigning at 147. They need to accomplish things at 135.

            Davis doesn't have a future outside 135 I think. He's too small for 147.

            Besides that possible explanation, there's another one. In boxing, historically, once you are a world champion, you are ready to fight any other world champion. Haney won't be thrown to the wolves anyway, I think. Specially not after coming off shoulder injury.
            Do you think Haney and Garcia really want them though, it’s all well and good saying I want to fight the top guys but when you’re fighting the Fonesca’s and Santiago’s of this world it hardly backs up what you’re saying.

            Full credit to Teofimo, great performance against Commey and now he fights Loma in a huge unification fight.

              I dont feel haney is going to get thrown to the wolves yet I think maybe after a tune up he may be in line for Campbell fortuna winner but I dont consider that thrown to the wolves in either of those possible fights, I feel hes ready for either provided he has a solid high level tune up who can give him some rounds first . Loma I think haney could compete with in the next year for sure . Wasnt haney talking about moving up recently ?? I think he should wait that out unless he cant make weight anymore. I think in a year or so devan will be as ready as he ever will be for davis or Loma. Not sure he beats either but iam sure he can make competitive fights . I think his style is all wrong for Loma but again I think hes def a level or so below , I think his style will give Loma problems but not get handy the W . But he is definately a very talented young fighter . I would pick him over Garcia right now but that could def be a huge fight at jr welter or welter down the road. They have the angle of their amaury rivalry for the promotion too . Come to think of it at 135 I would favor haney over tank unless tank could catch him cold . I dont like tank at 35 . I think he should still be at 130 and would love to see the LSC fight take place there

                I wanted Davis to be thrown to the wolves (Loma) since 2016/2017, when Davis was 21/22, your boys here know. I don't get involved in the politics of boxing. Davis is at a different level.
                man your a ****ing joke.
                You never wanted davis to fight loma in 2016/2017 . You never made a davis thread about loma and yet you do one for haney lmao.
                Hell, just look at my sig. That tells you everything you pretend to not know.

                  I think teofimo is one or two years older than Garcia and Haney so I think they will be fighting at his level of oposition when they have his age. Or they should, at least. I just checked and he is 1-1.5 years older.

                    Yeah they’re all about the same age I think, personally I don’t see Garcia and Haney taking the same step up in competition that Teofimo has. I think Oscar and Hearn will try and match these two a lot more carefully. I’d actually like to see Haney and Garcia fight each other, it would be a good test for both and the winner would become a legit contender.

                      If I saw otherworldly skills and attributes, like I see in Davis for example, I'd be pushing him hard. I don't. Why is Hearn rushing him? He's not ready for Davis or Loma, not even close. I can see him beating the rest. Get to them one by one. Put in the time.

                      I'll get back to Haney in a few years.

                      Let him clean up your bums first, Hearn, like Campbell and Crolla.
                      Didn’t he just avoid a fight with Campbell? He should at least gauge where he is at fighting tough but common opponents who Loma has fought but it seems he just wants to jump in the deep end whilst fighting no one of note. Teo earned the fight.
