Comments Thread For: Sulaiman: Lomachenko Is The WBC Lightweight Champion

[Theosis26]

I absolutely hate this. It does nothing to advance the sport

He tried to fight the most notable fighter. But got avoided.

That's not his fault.

he got avoided because loma was scheduled to fight the #1 guy in the division? that makes no sense. do you even realize what you are saying? its like saying canelo should avoid ggg to fight some random dude who has never fought anyone. oh canelo is avoiding the random dude by taking the ggg fight! derppp. everyone knew loma was fighting the commey-lopez winner, haney took that opportunity to say he wanted the loma fight, thats great but it was never going to happen at that time, and his actions of fighting complete bums and shot fighters don't really put a lot of confidence in his tough talk. oh i wanted to fight loma but since he was busy fightin the #1 guy in the division i guess ill just fight bums, i called him out! i called him out therefore hes ducking! ignore what hes actually doing and ignore what im actually doing!(which is fighting bums)

Loma is the real WBC Champion.
Haney is the fake WBC Champion.

Haney vs Gamboa for the fake WBC Champion of the World

DUH he never lost the belt they just change the name of the belt

But he DID in effect vacate the belt.

But he DID in effect vacate the belt.

yeah and why? cause he was fighting the commey-lopez winner next. this was settled before haney became mandatory so im not sure why people are ignoring context. what fight is better? the fight against hte #1 guy or the fight against a guy with no resume or top 10 wins at all? sure he could have paid him step aside money or some crap like that but this way he doesnt have to and he can get a shot whenever he wants! also loma said he will fight if any big offers come in otherwise he's waiting for the commey-lopez winner. hmmm no big offers from dazn how weird! but haney wanted the fight right? sure. 100 million offer to wilder and no offer at all to loma. its pretty clear haney was bluffing since he knew loma was already booked up. here it is:

1. called out loma when he was already booked
2. never made an offer with dazn's huge pocketbook
3. continues to fight bums and shot fighters

what about that shows this guy is the real deal? but he can change all this by making an offer right after the loma-lopez fight or if he wants to do something semi relevant fight a top 10 guy? once? is that too hard to ask? even tank did that once lol

[MrShakeAndBake]

that young punk can take a seat and let P4P give out azz whooping to Lopez... His turn will come too

[Califire209]

Sulaiman just made Haney look like his WBC paper champion

You left out the fact that Haney was supposed to fight Campbell for the vacant title, but Loma (who wasn't ranked by the WBC) petitioned to leap frog him and take the title shot. Devin was left to fight for the Interim title and to become the mando. He was supposed to get his shot next. Loma then petitioned for the Franchise title thus denying Devin his shot at the title which is why he was elevated. Loma has essentially taken 2 opportunities away from Haney that alone is reason enough to say Haney at minimum should get the winner.

oh he can get the winner if he wants it but campbell was better than haney at the time so im not sure how anyone could spin fighting the better higher ranked guy as a bad thing? yeah politics came into play but not to avoid anyone but to get the fights, and now he's fighting the #1 guy so not sure where haney was supposed to fit in there? loma said im fighting the commey-lopez winner unless i get any big offers, and no big offers came so im guessing haney wasnt very serious or dazn had other plans for haney so no offer was made. if haney makes a serious offer next and loma-lopez dont take it then yes i dont see anyone else(cept tank) that is a better option than haney since the division will be loma, lopez, haney, and tank as the main players although 2 of those guys have no resumes and are just hype, you still gotta take down the overhyped overanked guys because perception becomes reality and people will start thinking they are legit just for continuing to beat bums while talking loudly

[NC Uppercut]

Wrong. If he hadn't vacated his belt he would have to face his mandatory Haney.

ShoulderRoll you are wrong here. Devin held the interim belt, then at the WBC convention they elevated Loma to Franchise and bumped Haney to WBC lightweight champ. Matter of fact Haney was kinda upset bc he said he wanted to fight for it. After Loma dismantles Lopez, then Haney vs Loma will be next if possible.
