Comments Thread For: Devin Haney-Ryan Garcia Lightweight Title Fight To Be Ordered By WBC

[Damn Wicked]

Don't get me wrong it would be an incredible fight while it lasted, because I do believe someone would be getting knocked out. I just believe that Davis would be able to get in position to land those punches, like he has with all his other opponents. They'll both be landing on each other, I just think that Davis punches will prevail in this fight. That said I do respect your opinion, and there's always that possibility that Lopez can lower the boom on Davis. That's how boxing goes, you never what can happen to alter a fight in one boxers favor, or the other. A boxer can suffer a fight ending cut, fracture or break his hand, twist an ankle, and so on.

I agree with much of what you said. There's no "sure thing" when good fighters fight. Tank has a lot of talent and skills. He's not an opponent that anyone can take lightly. Anything can happen in a fight between Lopez and Davis. From everything I've seen so far, I would have to favour Teo....BUT there have been certain times in fights that Teo has looked a bit "less than stellar". I thought Lomachenko made Teo look bad in the second half of their fight and I expected a bit more from him when he fought that tough Japanese fighter (Nakatani).

We still don't fully know what Tank, Teo, Haney and Garcia bring to the ring. Some of these guys will improve and become better fighters and others may fall by the wayside.

I just hope we get to see some great fights !!

I hope that we get to see the great fights between them also brother. Some of those fights will happen this year, and they will all walk away with losses along the way. That's how much talent, and power they all have with which to compete against each other. That Nakatani is has an unbelievable chin, absorbing the power shot's that he took from Lopez, and Verdejo, without being stopped. He just won't be able to do that for to much longer.

Actually, this is not a sound argument since Pac has 2 wins over Marquez, while Marquez has just 1 over Pac.

Loma has no win over Lopez, while Lopez has a win over Loma. Based on your reasoning, all the listed 135 pounders can beat Loma, but his spot doesn't change.

Are you one of those people who are of the notion that is fight was a draw or somehow Loma managed to edge out Lopez?

2 official wins but a vast amount of the boxing community thinks Marquez won more than one of their fights. My point still stands though because Marquez had the more defining victory and not a close decision. Marquez also won in their last outing which should in a way erase the previous fights. The previous 3 were very close fights and could have gone either way but that 4th fight was as defined as you could get. Plus the first fight was 8 years prior and the 2nd 4. If we are including records Pac has a lot of losses to be a P4P #1.

We just don't get fights like this in boxing. Two young guns. When's the last time we really had one? I'm sure I'm wrong, but the last real one I remember was Bradley-Alexander and even that happened after Alexander looked like sh**t vs. Kotelnik.

Those fights so rare nowadays you have to really think. Lomachenko-Russell was two totally prime fighters with a lot of $ invested in each of them. Thurman-Chaves too.

Yes, unfortunately. Haney is low reward/high risk. In my opinion, Oscar is using Garcia to fight a proxy war against Mayweather and Canelo.

One, he wants the Cinco de Maya date from Canelo and using another popular Mexican/American to get it, and 2. He wants to crush Floyd's potential cash cow and keeps the glory. He can use one stone and kill two birds.

Sounds about right 👍🏻
