    Thats what people have a problem with. Too many big talkers who are afraid to prove themselves. It has nothing to do with Loma.

    All talk and no walk. Plus, how long can he drain to make 135? If he has no intentions of facing anyone good at 135 then maybe it's time to move up.

    But boxing is politics. Makes a lot of sense pretending to be the WBC champion and fighting no ones yet when a tough mandatory or unification rolls up time to move up.

    Would love to see Haney vs Linares/Fortuna/Verdejo/Campbell

    But doubt any of those fights happen.
    You seem to be emotional about this

        Doesn't look good.

        Lopez is taking on Loma. Garcia is fighting Campbell.

        Haney vs Gamboa? LOL. He could have at least fought someone respectable.
        Yeah I couldn’t agree more but he did try and get Gary Russell that would have been a very good contest. Gamboa is past it

          I see a lot about his age, but if you want to be a champ and you want to do all that barking then more is expected out of you despite age.

              That's true. Who was available to fight instead of washed up Gamboa?

                Gamboa is 38 years old and coming off a stoppage loss where he suffered an achilles tendon injury.

                  Lmfao.

                  Guys like you have been projecting so damn hard. Let me let you in on something. The only guy here who is emotional is YOU.

                  All im saying is that if you're claiming to be the boogeyman of a division maybe you should take on better fights.

                  You really seem to take issue with that.

                  Oh there's still next fight you cry! Against who? Can Haney even make 135 for his "next fight" and if he can't or will struggle too why is he fighting trash now?

                  Too funny man. I can't believe you actually got your feelings hurt.

                    Linares
                    Fortuna
                    Commey
                    Robert Easter Jr
                    Barthelemy

                    That's literally the rest of the top 10. All of these dudes don't have fights coming up and would probably love a shot at a title.

                    How about those guys?

                    Or how about guys who are actually 135lbers and not just a name?

                    Lmao. Whos emotional? Do your best to protect Devin Haney from the truth why dont cha.
