Comments Thread For: Devin Haney: I Want Lomachenko Fight, So Does He - But Not His Team

[ShoulderRoll]

Please.

You say that but when he does youll call him a cherry picking for picking on all these green guys.

You'll act like they're the boogeyman now and the big bad but once they lose they're a ****ing bum.

Lomachenko has beaten literally anyone worth mentioning from 126-135 during his time there and you still find ways to discredit him.

You'll do it again tonight when Loma wipes Lopez despite proclaiming his greatness all ****ing week and how great he is.

And then you'll go, oh, you Loma fans thought Teofimo was a bum anyways so he gets no credit, move on the the next boogeyman.

You think im wrong?

Wrong. Check my posting history, you'll never see me backtracking about giving credit to someone if they fight someone I called for them to fight.

It will be the same if Lomachenko beats Teofimo. Full credit will be given.

I'm just sick of the same people that nitpick Floyd Mayweather now being ready to crown Lomachenko. Despite him not doing nearly as much. Tired of the double standards and racial undercurrents around here.

We’re getting Loma Lopez an undisputed fight for free. Why in the hell would Loma Haney need to be PPV? Someone tell Haney to come back down to earth. These young guys all think they’re bigger or with more than they really are

It's not going to come down to Loma being the only one responsible for fighting these guys: Haney, Tank, and KingRy. They also have to fight each other. Great fights come from when most of the top guys fight each other. It is a party that every top fighter is invited to partake in. You can have multiple stars.

Why not?

It's nice if they make fights between each other too. And I expect that to happen as well.

But lining them all up and mowing them all down would make a fighter a legend. If you want to be remembered as great that's what you try to do.

So would a win for loma put him above floyd on the ATG list?

I rarely see anyone drawing parallels between Loma and Floyd. Most of the time the two are only mentioned together in a fantasy/what-if fight scenario.

2 great fighters, 2 different styles, 2 completely different paths. No use in getting upset over nothing

Nope. You gotta put in more work than that.

The same posters for who Floyd could never do enough now rush to elevate a fighter with 15 fights. That's what I see.

Why the double standards? I can guess why. But I'll leave it up to you to make up your own mind.

What Haney does not want to say is "Hearn and Arum are the problem making the fight!" I think Tank has a better chance to fight Loma or Lopez, since Haymon and Arum seem to be working together now, and Haney has a better chance to fight Ryan Garcia or Linares, because they're on DAZN! It is what it is!

Floyd and Loma have a lot in common! Flashy, Slick, trained by their fathers, "hit but don't get hit!" My go to comparison for Lomachenko is Eminem! I know a lot of White folk who hated Hip Hop, but when Eminem came on the scene, they changed their tune! They hated that style, until they saw one of their own doing it, and then it wasn't so bad after all!

Lomachenko has a style that could make him an ATG! The question is will he be able to go past 135? Floyd did his thing at 130, 135, 140, 147, and 154, and remained undefeated! I think 135 might be Loma's ceiling?
