Because he never beat the original champion which was Lomachenko. He was gifted his belt vs a nobody. Lopez however beat Loma which in the eyes of real boxing fans was the actual champ. WBC just taxing Haney for a belt he truly never earned.Comment

He got his belt because Lomachenko dropped it rather than be forced to fight Haney at some point.Comment

Do you watch boxing? Let me give you a little history (a short version). Haney was part of a tournament for the vacant WBC title after Mikey vacated (Teo was also in the tourney until he decided to "go in a different direction). Loma who wasn't even ranked by the WBC, petitioned to leapfrog Haney to fight Campbell for the vacant title. Since Haney was denied his title shot, the WBC had him fight for the Interim belt and the mandatory position. When Loma vacated instead fighting Haney, Devin was rightfully elevated to full champion.
Perfect scenario is for Haney and Lopez to fight, if Teo is the true great and Haney just a pretender then a fight will iron that out for us all.
But for some reason some Americans seem to want to see unification or undisputed fights not happening. They seem to prefer to tell us why one champion hasn't earned the right to face another champion. To be fair some actually fighters are doing the same thing.
Strange times for the sport.Comment
