    Can I ask you , who do you think is the better fighter , Lopez or Haney ?

    Imo , fighting Haney at that time wouldn’t have been very good for either fighter
    Loma wins , he’d get accused of fighting a greenie etc etc
    Haney is better than Lopez but Lopez blasted out Commey like a bad ass. His power at least makes his fight with Loma interesting to an extent. Loma vs Haney is more intriguing if Haney has at least beaten a Fortuna or Campbell first.....

      At this moment , I would rank Lopez higher
      I’ve seen Haney do his thing but all against lower tier opposition
      I think a Loma Haney fight might be more technical than what we’ll see between Loma and Lopez
      I still think Loma would have an easier time beating Haney in a technical fight than the threatening Lopez

        Lopez ain't got many dimensions man. His power will carry up to 140 when he makes the leap though.

          When he fought the Japanese fighter ( I think ) , he showed a little more in his arsenal
          Him loosing to Loma , imo , he will benefit kind of like Canelo did with Mayweather

            We'll see. I like Lopez, don't see him like that though.

              I didn’t either until that fight with the Japanese
              He really had to dig deep to get that win

                    It sure looks like it. Haney's youth, movement and speed would have been a tough test for Lomachenko because Lomachenko is on his way out. Lomachenko fighting Haney in December would have been the perfect fight to sharpen his reflexes for his fight with Lopez. But now Lomachenko will be a little older and a little less prepared when the time comes to face Teofimo.

                    Haney - Lopez is a 50-50 fight in my opinion. And I'm picking Lopez to knock Lomachenko out. To be fair, Lomachenko is too small for this weight class so he's already accomplished a lot...

                      Nahhhh , don’t agree with you
                      Loma would just get more hate if he beats Haney
                      Haney having fought nobody noteworthy , would just look like a cherrypick in the end
                      Paper champ at best , let him fight someone noteworthy and then step up
                      At least Lopez earned his shot
