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

[Rick Taylor]

I think 135 might be Loma's ceiling?

so you think he will duck josh taylor?

[richardt]

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.

True, but that means waiting for each fight sequentially and no one wants to wait at the end of the line. Especially since they can do parallel fights or a marathon of them facing each other which makes for more stylistic matchups and more fights in a shorter period of time. Loma is not the only great matchup for each fight, they all are scintillating.

Yeah, you want Lomachenko, but when the fight is offered,
you clowns start yelling lowball. Beggars become choosers
all of a sudden.

I think Loma will not fight any of these other guys. If he beats Lopez, next up would be Davis. Loma won't fight Davis coming from this fight and will get an easy touch tune up while Davis fights Garcia. I don't see a Haney fight. The question is, will Loma win tonight?

Since Devin needs to get top wins to get a Loma fight here's my Luke Campbell thread: https://www.boxingscene.com/forums/s...8#post20816398

Please post in it and explain to me what it was that he's done.

you "wanted" the fight yet he already said he was fighting the lopez-commey winner unless there was a big offer and you blew that one without any offer so better get that big dazn offer ready in a couple hours! or did you want a 50-50 split or something mr. big star?

Lomachenko could have fought him after Teofimo. No problem since the mandatory hadn't been called yet.

But now that Lomachenko is Franchise Champion he can never be forced by the WBC to fight Haney. Which is exactly what his team wanted.

he still can? i didnt know the only way a fight could happen is if its a mandatory. you think loma should be forced to fight an unknown guy who has never fought anyone ranked in his life? why? cause you like him? dazn has lots of money. make an offer. seems pretty simple. we know haney isnt going to leave dazn so thats the only way the fight can happen. its a meaningless fight right now since haney is unproven but money is moeny and there prob arent any better options: tank is in the witness protection program, no one else that relevant at 135, dont thnk loma is moving up to 140 and maybe berchelt moving up but thats meh

Of course he still can. But he won't and you know it.

why should he??? you do realize haney is a nobody who has never fought anyone right? the only reason he should fight him is for money. dazn has money yet they have been reluctant to make one of their patented "overpayments" to get opponents for their fighters. that should tell you how they want to pursue haney's development. they want to build a star not crush one. all this calling out is nice press for the young man but we know whats going on there. using someone else's name to promote yourself which is a tried and true tradition. if more mouth running ensues, more bum fighting ensues, and no offers take place what will you say? oh loma ducked him before so haney doenst have to fight him?
