you dont have to fight someone because they are your mandatory. just drop the belt. why waste your time fighting an unknown unproven guy when you can fight the #1 guy? the reason canelo ducking ggg was so bad is because not only was ggg his mandatory but he was also clearly the best fighter in the division and would have made him the most money. i dont see haney having any of those traits. the only trait that would entice loma would be money and no offer was even made so yeah no fight. haney is fighting gamboa so that shoulddddd tell you whats going on here
If Lomachenko becomes undisputed at LW.

Just as a side noteHaney was given the belt when Loma dropped it and took the emeritus title rather than make the mandatory against Haney.
How can you possibly hold that against Haney?
Yes, he beat the #2 ranked boxer.
Why can’t he prove he can mix it up at the top level when he faces Loma in the mandatory defense?
It wasn’t the emeritus title. I’m not saying it just to nitpick either. Right now, nobody is sure whether or not the WBC Franchise is the true title (like the Super WBA).
We thought we knew, but Sulaiman has said the WBC sees it as the true title, and that if Lopez wins, he would win it also. That is pretty much how the Super WBA works. Personally I think the Franchise title is now the true WBC title making the WBC a two title system. But it’s up in the airComment

imagine if loma said "i want to fight allll the best fighters!" then made zero offers to them and fought shot gamboa coming off a ko loss and major injury. then on top of that said "everyone is ducking me!" be pretty funny right...Comment

He doesn’t have to be near Loma’s level. He is the mandatory. A requirement for being the mando isnt “ probe you are elite”.I’m not holding anything against him but he’s nowhere near the level of Loma.
Loma literally fought better opposition in his debut.
Let Haney go beat Campbell, Linares etc and prove he’s elite.
Then we’ll get two proven elite fighters mixing it instead of an elite fighter essentially fighting a talented prospect who was gifted a belt.
As to proving he is elite, He can prove it by beating loma.
Your wording is unfair and incredibly biased. Loma wouldn’t be fighting a talented prospect who was gifted a belt.
He’d be making his mandatory defense against the #1 ranked boxer per the rules of the sanctioning body. Just like every other champion is required to do.
It’s like you’re rewriting the rules just for Loma.Comment
