Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez on Devin Haney: He Needs To Develop - He Don't Have It!

[BoxingIsGreat]

Why not? Who else is a name that he can fight? Right now he's got to build a stronger resume and he needs names. So yeah fight Loma and look better than Teo did. Then go fight either Tank or Garcia. Then jump up to 140 and fight for undisputed there. Or Eddie Hearn should give Teo the 10 million or at least in good faith negotiate maybe they cant give Teo the 10 million but can they do it for a little less. Devin cant just sit there calling out people on the internet and get frozen out.

Loma was beaten convincingly. Shouldn't he prove himself back up? Why should they give him an immediate shot at Haney's belt, if you consider that a championship belt. Doesn't Loma tell people to get a belt before he fights them? Get at least in a mandatory position.

No favoritism. Loma brings NOTHING to the table.

I got a very good ideal. Let him develop against you to see how it turns out. i guarantee lopez next opponent isn't better than Haney

Depends on what you mean by better. There's better money out there but u should know that Money team. Unless your agenda isn't about boxers making the most before they retire?..

Then it should be easy to just fight Devin Haney and become undisputed.

But he isn't easy, is he? And if Teofimo Lopez loses, his reign is cut short and Devin Haney is rightfully recognized as the better fighter.

So the plan is to discount Haney and pretend to be the best, just like Lomachenko did when he petitioned for the WBC franchise belt to avoid fighting Haney, who not only was the mandatory challenger but was side-stepped by Lomachenko to fight Campbell for the WBC belt in the first place.

Sounds like both Teofimo Lopez and Lomachenko believe that Devin Haney is actually the better fighter...

[Monty Fisto]

yup - Haney earned that belt for sure! More like a Xmas gift! Sorry azz resume for a boring fighter who induces sleep! Next Rigo in the making!

You're right of course that he didn't do anything to get the belt, and that's on the WBC's head for creating such a sorry situation. But the situation remains that the franchise belt is a nonesense trinket, an honorary title dreamt up by the WBC around 14 months ago, and they gave the long-standing champion title to Haney.

If Lopez truly is so much better than Haney, then he should do himself and boxing fans a favour and take the belt off him by beating him in the ring.

Loma was supposedly number one on the mythical pound for pound list. Also he's ranked number 1 and would be in a mandatory position unless they pull a Yildirim and give it to 2nd ranked Javier Fortuna. I think there shouldnt be any favoritism at all but again I ask who else is there for Haney to fight excluding Teo because they already saying no and Garcia because he's aiming for Teo. And Loma would be the biggest nane on Haney's resume. So realistically who else is there? I'd love to see him in with Teo or Garcia-Campbell winner or Tank but will any of those guys fight him? I doubt it. Guess we have to hope Eddie Hearn calls the bluff and puts up 10+ million for the fight

Bro, boxing is what have you done for me lately. All those BS P4P, belt holder, etc., don't matter at all in real life once you lose, and embarrassingly at that in Loma's case.

Fortuna and Haney have been waiting for that belt for a very long while, along with all the other top 5-10. Campbell is having 2 shots at the WBC. Something not making sense to me here.

Loma deserves nothing. He needs to prove himself.

Exactly why I called it a mythical thing. But name a fighter on Devin's resume thats a bigger known name. Im not advocating for Loma Im trying to get Haney's resume up. Plenty of guys deserve the shot but who's gonna actually fight. Thats why 8 ask who do you want Haney to fight next realistically

[GodfatherIV]

In all honesty though I think Haney is waiting and watching for January 2nd. I forgot the WBC ordered the Garcia-Campbell fight. So Im guessing the winner will be the mandatory. Maybe the WBC will order this fight in like 90 days or something. So maybe we do Haney vs the winner

[Doubledagger]

Loma dodges Haney to fight Lopez ? Wtf ...whack boxing logic at its finest!!

Its called inhouse matchmaking.

Same reason PBC wpuld rather have Spence fight Porter, Thurman, Garcia, Garcia, Ugas, and the great Manny Pacquiao rather than match him with Crawford.

Teo and Loma are at top rank and espn, Haney is at Matchroom and DAZN.

Plain and simple

He needs to prove himself again...............Rockin'
