Comments Thread For: Arum: 250 People Can Attend Loma-Lopez, Mostly First Responders From Nevada

[Ca$ual Fan]

Devin Haney will be in his prime in about six or seven years, Bumochenko is already past his best days ; Vasily is reaching the end of the line. Devin Haney will surpass Lomachenko in time, hes already the REAL WBC lightweight champ at 21 years old.

Too early to judge Haney. Broner’s got his 1st world title at around the same age too

Nice gesture by Arum and Nevada

I given you plenty of reasons for my position against Lomachenko status as P4P #1, pages actually. Vasily's unprecedented Privilege's is one of boxing's greatest failures, as I expressed to you before, without these undeserved and unfair opportunities Bumochenko's career would not have 'accomplished' all these notable accolades.

His skills are ridiculously overrated by the media, the hype is disgusting, he was never unquestionably THE man in any weight class ; even now Lomachenko cant say this with a potential victory over Teofimo Lopez with Devin Haney being the real WBC champ.

Bumochenko is all smoke and mirrors.

Lol this guy started with intending to give plenty reasons.
Ended up giving none.

Even if you don't have him as your p4p #1 doesn't make him a bum, now if you don't rank him at all then you are simply living in denial. He has beaten several champions impressively, being privileged is Haney being gifted a belt while having a paper thin resume, his level of competition is horrible. Meanwhile Loma had to earn his belts by beating champions. You got it backwards there clown.

Loma was still fighting in the amateurs when he was Haney's age. Ppl seem to forget he was 25 when he turned pro and was already a seasoned fighter. It would have been impressive if he accomplished everything everyone raves about if he turned pro at 18 like most of the great fighters. Loma has skills but he gets overated for accomplishing what he has but they forget to mention he was 25 and had tons experience at that age. Keep in mind that most of the fighters he's beat will never be hall of famers and we're just over rated title holders.

You do know there is a vast difference between the amateurs and the pros. One only needs to look at all the medalists who failed in the pros. The fact that he is accomplishing what he is under 20 pro fights is impressive. If Haney is gonna call himself a "champ" then it's time to step it up. Yet here we are he is fighting a far past it Gamboa. Who around Loma's weight is hall of fame worthy? Nobody really maybe Linares but that's a big maybe. He is dominating these guys though. So is it his fault these guys are not doing enough? All the man can do is keep on winning dominately and put himself there.

And on top of that, if it were SO EASY for guys to turn pro at a later age of 24-25, and win a title so quickly, then the haters have a lot of explaining to do as to why there aren't a ton of fighters who fought for and won a world title by their 3rd pro fight, like Lom did. I can probably count on one hand, give or take a fighter, how many fighters have won a major title in less than 10 fights. And none who won a number of major titles in less than 15 fights.
