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

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

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

my point exactly...Loma doesnt dodge anybody himself...Lopez much more of a risk and more difficult fight for Loma bc of his power and size.

Lopez got scared fast. Thought he was going to teach Haney a lesson a few months back lol

That's like all these fighters once they win the title - give them 6 months and they become cautious

[Roberto Vasquez]

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.

Loma doesn't need to prove himself. He is/was on the P4P list because he was a multi-weight world champion. That's like saying Ali lost to Frazier now he needs to prove himself before the rematch. These modern fighters get scared easy that's all that has happened here. If Lopez was going to be a great he would take the Haney and Loma fights and win them both. But he has doubts...

I’m fed up with all of them to be honest. I wish Benevidez, Plant, Andrade, Charlo would all fight it out amongst each other instead of sitting and waiting for a payday as well. Canelo can only pick one at a time.

However, imagine if Plant fought Benevidez. Imagine after that fight. The media and boxing public at large would be so loud that it’d force a fight upon Canelo. The reason I don’t see them fighting each other is because of potential “0.” A “0” today doesn’t land the big money. So why risk it?

In the 80’s a 0 meant little to nothing. Each elite boxer knew that even if a “0” came about they were still getting paid well and even into their next fight. All they wanted to do is fight each other and face all elite opposition. They didn’t just talk about it like today, they actually faced elite opposition frequently. Even if they lost one or two they knew they had such a fan following and popularity they’d land another and potentially win and be right back in the hunt.

Boxing felt very different during that time. I still say to this day Mayweather, along with the media and social media ruined boxing. A loss is now seen as almost a death sentence and not worthy of getting top paid fights. Now all anyone talks about is if so and so boxer will be the next 50-0, or landing the Canelo payday. Because of this very few boxers take the risks their counterparts from the 80’s did. Everyone wants to be “Mayweather” and because of that boxing is dying.

I won't pretend like Plant-Benavidez and Charlo-Andrade aren't tremendous fights, because they are. At the same time, I will not excuse guys like Canelo and ggg for their choices of opposition either.

The fact is, Canelo ducked Charlo and Andrade for 2 divisions straight, and they were belt holders! Canelo also CHOSE to fight Kovalev, who almost got stopped by Yarde, on short notice, when he could've fought Bivol or Beterbiev in what are perceived as tougher opposition because they're both champions in their prime. He also chose to fight Callum Smith in TX, on ppv, when Benavidez and Plant would've been better foes, especially in the US.

Golovkin, who's also been called out by Charlo and Andrade, and has had 2 shots against Canelo, gets to fight guys like Szeremeta and Rolls, and he's entitled to a 3rd fight with Canelo before any of the other guys get their first shot?

I'm sorry, but its difficult to hold guys like Charlo, Plant, Andrade, and Benevidez to some kind of nonexistent standard for quality of opposition, when guys who are supposed to be the face of boxing, are not held to those same standards.

[Jdasilva2012]

Judging for what I saw in Haney's last fight, it's safe to say that Lopez is completely right.

I would love to see Teo come down under to fight George.
As an Aussie ive watched a cpl of his fights.
He just seems ALOT smaller than Teo and the power will be the difference in this fight.
If it gets signed i will definitely be their to cheer on Kambosos.

You guys turn out for you’re own though. Even if you maybe know you’re man is huge underdog, you all turn out and make an event. God bless Australia. Wonderful country!!

Unification Trump's a mandatory.

I never said it doesn’t. I’m telling people who don’t know, that he’s most likely fighting George next. I don’t care that it trumps a mandatory. I’m telling you what’s happening next. So Haney may aswell go fight a guy with a pulse, and better odds than 10,000/1 odds. Then maybe people will clamour to see him face Lopez. Right now hardly anybody cares.

It’s biggest in U.S and right now you guys ain’t got FULL Capacity of fans do you? In ANY State? I may well be wrong. I’m English. So until all parties involved are able to fully max out the revenue, ya ain’t getting that fight.

So like I’ve stated, Lopez will go Oz get a great payday defend his titles in a showcase defence in front of 10s of thousands of fans, great fight for him. And NOBODY has any right in knocking that fight. And nobody has any right saying that George Kambosos hasn’t earned his shot. He has. So I don’t need anybody telling me unification trumps a mando.

I’m telling you guys that Teofimo will kill two birds in one stone with the fight. So wether IBF called it yet or not, he’s the mando and it will be dealt with their.

Crazy how y'all only want to see certain unifications but not others. But it follows a pattern

[Mammoth]

And NOBODY has any right in knocking that fight. And nobody has any right saying that George Kambosos hasn’t earned his shot.

Everybody has all the right in the world to say whatever they want to about a shit fight. Teo's retard Dad talking shit about a whole division while acting like Kambosos is a good fight is some of the dumber stuff I heard lately. Kambosos sucks.

[kiaba360]

After Kambosos, I don't see why Lopez shouldn't fight Haney as he's carrying the last belt. If Lopez is going to stay at 135, he'll have to face Haney or rematch Loma.
