WeBeCrooks. Smh. They don't even try and hide it anymore.

Why can't these boxing organizations be normal? Common sense 1 champ that's IT!!!

[NC Uppercut]

Nope.

Devin Haney becomes mandatory challenger for Vasyl Lomachenko after winning interim title
https://www.bbc.com/sport/boxing/49699425

After that happened Lomachenko's promoter asked for Franchise Champion status at the WBC convention.

If Lomachenko beats Lopez he is talking of moving back down to 130. Not fighting Devin.

Cool. We can agree to disagree bro.

Cool. We can agree to disagree bro.

Well, you can't really disagree with the factual part of how Haney was Lomachenko's mandatory and then Top Rank chose to drop the belt by asking for Franchise Champion status.

But maybe I'm wrong about Lomachenko dropping down to 130 after Saturday. Maybe he will fight Haney next.

Lol....... You are the real fan boy that ignorantly wish to ignore reality based on what your grand father told you.
I don't give a **** what happened 50/100 years ago or how the belt was formed, I care about how its been handled/managed presently and I can assure you the only belt wbc is bigger than at the moment is the IBO.
you can hang if you wish.
Cheers.

i think you replied to the wrong person tbh LMAO 😂

Follow up question: "So then Devin Haney is just a "regular" titlist with the #1 contender belt, not an actual WBC champion, right?"

This is called doing a 2 for 1. When it's convenient to promote Haney as the champion because he has a fight coming up that you want to sell tickets to and hype up, you call him champion. Then he goes on the bench for 4 months, while Lomachenko fights, and as Lomachenko's fight approaches, you bring up how he has the WBC belt and he's the champion.

2 for 1. In a sport with 4 sanctioning bodies and a billion weight classes. YOU ARE BEING MANIPULATED, PURPOSEFULLY, AND SKILLFULLY.

now that's some boxing logic . being manipulated yes , skillfully I don't think so lmao. To a casual definitely but only hardcore's know about politics . which are ridiculous but interesting I must say .

I'm not reading through the 100+ comments so apologies if this has already been addressed, but, hasn't Sulaimonkey previously said the WBC Frecnfries title was a non-transferable honorary title? How can this be for the undisputed if there isn't a WBC title up for grabs? Or has Sulaimong pulled another random rule out of his poop shoot?

LMAO. He said that as the fight happening in the same weight-class and Arum petitioned for Lopez as an IBF champion to get the belt if he wins the fight, then in this case it is.
Whoever wins is Undisputed 4 belt owner World champion.

[Boxing Goat]

All because Loma ducked him though isn't it. All because Loma threw the belt in the bin to avoid him.

“He won and petitioned for the Franchise designation. The Franchise is put above any champion in the lightweight category. So, Lomachenko is in fact champion with special attributes."

Yawl can't hide behind the wbc pres anymore. He just exposed that yo boy was the one who asked for the franchise tag.

Stop it. Haney is a nobody but the next great hope to be a pretty boy Floyd. Except a little more vocal with his racism.

Unification > Haney by a long, long margin

[Squared.Circle]

LMAO. He said that as the fight happening in the same weight-class and Arum petitioned for Lopez as an IBF champion to get the belt if he wins the fight, then in this case it is.
Whoever wins is Undisputed 4 belt owner World champion.

So it's gone from a "non-transferable honorary title" to a "one-time-only-transferable honorary title"...if Sulaimoney gets his pockets lined?

We Be Crooks can change their mind and contradict themselves as much as they want. Unfortunately, the winner won't be viewed as the undisputed champion by the vast majority of boxing fans and pundits.

[Boxing Goat]

The best lightweight who hasn't proven ****.

Who he beat?

Has he beaten Teofimo yet?

Did he beat Haney?

Ryan Garcia?

Tank Davis?

Who he beat that makes him the best Lightweight?

Oh, so you don't know who he beat? Is that the only problem?

Well hell then, we can solve that for you.

Linares was the recognized LW champ and Loma destroyed him, becoming the actual LW champ. Then, for good measure, he beat Pedraza, Crolla and Campbell. All very solid guys.

Any legitimate questions, sir? Do you have closure?

To elaborate - Lopez, Davis and Haney have fought nothing but bums during that time so they have no claim to shxt other than being contenders when Loma became THE CHAMP.

Davis has one good win, Lopez has one good win and Haney has zero good wins.

And the ref didn't even bother counting on you, he just waived it off because you ain't moving.
