Because when its handed to him in the mail it doesn't mean anything.

I get you really want to say Haney has proven something and is a “champion”, but he really hasn't done anything, and more than likely will never do so.

At least Garcia is in prospect building phase while Haney is pushed as a “champion”.

And at the end of the day, he will be the one to fall short, though I have a feeling he is going to be very protected going forward(he already is) as he is the least talented of the group.

Actually, his paper title is even worse because they didn't trust him to get one officially the way Top Rank did Lopez.

No one's really pushing Haney as a 'champion' are they? I think he's widely recognised as a fine talent, but most folk are kinda waiting for him to do something before talking about him as a real champ. Loma's still kinda universally recognised as the WBCs 135 guy.

But I ain't sure what you mean by your final comment there, inasmuch as you can find any sense at all in this franchise title bullchit, Haney won his 'regular' title the right way by fighting the WBCs next highest ranked contender. Haney vs Abdullaev was #1 vs #2 per WBC.

Ain't Haney's fault that the WBC pulled that ish anyway, and I can't really see why you'd think Ryan's somehow more admirable cos it didn't happen to him... you think he wouldn't have been all over that 'Champion' ish if he'd been WBC #1 ranker at the time?

Two fine young talents, Devin and Ryan, but Pandas is right here, Devin's obviously a little further along the road right now, regardless of what happens in the future. Can't even see why that'd seem like something controversial or worth arguing over.

You're going further down the rabbit hole on this then I'm even getting at. I'm just saying Ryan is the low man on the totem poll of hyped 135lb guys & I believe most would agree with me. Maybe your right & Devin is doe. Not really THAT big of a deal to me. Agree to disagree I suppose.
