Comments Thread For: Arum: Devin Haney Has To Prove Himself To Earn Teofimo Lopez

[DaNeutral.]

Haney couldn’t fill up a grade school classroom. Garcia’s next opponent is better than anyone on Haney’s resume. He’ll also pull 100x the numbers Haney will in his career. That’s pathetic for a supposed “champion” that never fought to get his belt.

Why are you even concerned about any of that? Are you a Boxing fan or an empty seat counter. I'm a Boxing fan, I want to see fights, I certainly want to see undisputed fights.

I understand why Boxers and their promoters argue over splits and A side/B side status but you actively do not want Haney to face Lopez, you are not a real Boxing fan.

lopez needs to move up to 147 and forget about blown up featherweights

Haney hasn't fought anyone. Another clown like Golovkin so far, just nuthugged by a different race.

Has Kambosos fought anyone?

Man what have you been smoking??

What sport have you been watching? We see that happening all the time.

Lopez vs. Tank is clearly not happening next, they're gonna let that marinate.

I know Haney's resume isn't all that, but if Tank and Teo don't fight each other, Haney should be the next guy in line. They're calling each other without no intention of fighting each other next while pretending Haney doesn't exist.

Loma didn't want Haney at the time either, but at least he fought a mandatory in Lopez instead.

I don't disagree with you buddy. Champions fight unworthy guys all the time. This reason only comes up when the opponent is perceived to be difficult. But I am personally fine with the promoter saying, OK everyone perceives you as a difficult opponent and as a threat, prove it then. Beat somebody that is difficult and a threat. Not only does it remove any talking points that promoter had, but you've also promoted yourself into a more advantageous position in the sport by beating better fighters.

Special Bulletin! Arum does not like Hearn!

I’d rather see Lopez fight someone who has earned the shot to fight him and not some made up champion that was gifted his belt fighting no one at all. There are many more deserving of the shot to be undisputed than Haney.

Yeah but he got a split decision when he did. Both times.

These guys should tell us who Bivol, Beterbiev and Kovalev beat when they became champions after Ward retired.

I get it, you don't want undisputed.

Blame Hearn. The guy is doing nothing for Haney. Meanwhile he's positioned Campbell for multiple shots at title fights.

Naw that is on The Haney's Bill and Devin, they're the ones who signed with him! They had a great thing with Showtime IMO but I get it the Money with Hearn and DAZN was likely too good to pass up at the time

His Buzz was bigger with Showtime and they was doing a much better job really getting behind him and pushing and promoting him. It has been a drastic decline since going to DAZN for Haney from what I'm seeing
