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

Yea but Teo’s Commey KO shíts all over any opponents that Haney has faced.

Haney needs to step up big time instead.

I agree he needs better comp, just saying Teo hasn't exactly gone through murderers row to get his big shot.

I don't think Haney is easy for ANY fighter at LW. But Haney is certainly at the bottom of guys Arum wants for Lopez. They want Davis or Garcia first and foremost. I think the Garcia fight can happen. Pay close attention to what is going on at DAZN. GBP has put some of their fighters on ESPN and they could start some sort of partnership there. Arum may be able to convince GBP to make Lopez vs Garcia soon. That fight will do big numbers.

I think Lopez ices him. I think Haney is a major hype job.

Haney has fought nobody. Absolutely nobody. Who did he beat to even be called a champion? He didn’t even beat a champion to win his fake title.

tank and garcia are def the fights that teo will want as they will do well and are the bigger fights for him....arum will face a problem with teo very soon though i suspect....teo will want some big money for whatever fight bob gets him....the other question is how much longer can teo stay at 135 and will his ability and pop carry up at 140?

i like teo alot but things will get interesting for sure

Arum is hoping Haney loses so that they don't have to fight him. oh well.

if haney loses when he steps up in comp doesnt that prove he didnt deserve a lopez fight in the first place? why does he get the big fights after fighting literally nobody? because of politics and hype? is that what you are saying? great reason! fighting one top 10 guy is too much to ask? is that how bad boxing has become. answer: yes

he beat 2 top 3 fighters in his division while haney has fought zero top 10 fighters. they arent even on the same planet. one guy is nothing but hype who just fought alfredo santiago and a shot gamboa coming off a loss, the other guy fought 2 top guys in a row. its pretty insulting to think these 2 guys "have to fight" as if it settles anything. haney has done nothing and anyone else with his resume would be pretty lucky to even be in the top 10 but because he has a big promoter/network and a fake belt he's got the hype.
