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

[GhostofDempsey]

Why can't Teofimo fight Haney if he is just going to end up fighting Kambosos instead?

Teo already proved himself in his last two fights. He had to beat Commey to get his title and a shot at Loma. Besides, it goes back to what I said about mandatories and sanctioning bodies. The IBF said Kambosos is Teo's mandatory.

Yeah I notice this. It’s crazy.

There always seems to be an extra hurdle for some guys. Now I could see if Haney was ranked like 4th or something like that.

Dude did what he needed to do and can’t get a shot at all the belts.

wat lol. he did what he needed to do? what is that? played poltiics to get him high rankings and belts without fighting a soul hmmm yeah im pretty sure thats the whole criticism of him. he hasnt earned those things at all and everyone knows it. hes just hype. he had the chance in his last 2 fights as "champ" to fight someone solid and he chose to fight alfredo santiago and gamboa so actions speak louder than words

Yeah but I don't hear you saying that Kambosos has to prove himself before fighting Teofimo.

exactly cause i dont talk about kambosos. you know why? cause he hasnt fought anone. same as haney. difference is you talk nonstop about haney when he's just as unproven as kambosos which in turn makes me say "haney hasnt fough anyone" if there were a bunch of australia fanboys on here saying lopez had to fight kambosos i would laugh at them too but i dont think they have the internet in australia thankfully

Haney would be Teofimo's mandatory right now if Lomachenko's team hadn't requested Franchise Champion status.

With that one loophole Arum froze Haney out from two fights, both Lomachenko AND Teofimo.

How can you support that?

But Lopez is going to fight Kambosos next so you should be up in arms about that.

he froze out the guy who didnt deserve a fight oh noooo. what a tragedy! i didnt know arum forced haney and dazn to become tight with their money and not make any offers. what power he wields

no not really. there arent any pressing challenges at 135 or clear top contenders to fight. kambosos and haney are on the same level. like i said if there were australia tards saying he had to fight kambosos and he was ducking kambosos i would laugh at their fanboyism just like the haney fanboys. also kambosos team apparently is willing to put up a lot of money for the fight where haney and dazn havent put anything up so yeah that would prob heavily influence lopez's decision to fight him now stop making me write kambosos so much

Lomachenko fought Teo who earned his shot by defeating Commey. Who is Haney's best win, a shot Gamboa. How does that push him to the head of the line? Haney could have gone after Commey but didn't. He can pursue Tank but won't. Mostly because PBC shuts out every other promoter who they don't want their fighter to face.

You're okay with PBC shutting out Crawford?

Why didn’t you say Loma shouldn’t have gotten the fight with Salido and should have been made to earn it?

Let me guess, because his 1 fight was against such a highly ranked opponent and he didn’t have a promoter with political power that he “earned “ it.

Why doesn't Arum freeze out Kambosos? He doesn't deserve the fight.
