Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez: Haney Must Earn His Shot, Fight Opposition in Top Ten

[daggum]

He's using Lomachencko' name and the franchise **** to duck the fight. No matter How Haney got the title he is the official WBC champion 🥊

wat? hankey is the one ducking. look at his resume. complete garbage. lopez just beat the top 2 fighters in the division. hankey chose to fight alfredo santiago and gamboa coming off a loss. how do you explain that? please name me all the top 10 wins hankey has? oh none. hes hype. hes a media creation. he wants to fight everyone...cept he doesnt do anthing to fiht them. he signed with dazn when all the top guys were with top rank...he wants to fight loma even thogh loma said he was fighting the commey-lopez winner BEFORE hankey became mandatory, and now hankey thinks he is entitled to a fight with lopez because what? because he beat gamboa? because he has an interim belt even though lopez is the real champ(according to the wbc) please. make an offer! make a frigging offer! hes not even doing that! which exposes that he's a complete and utter fraud.

Asking WBC to pull a magic trick and turn a minor title into a major title so he can feel convinced hes really "undisputed" rather than facing Haney for the real one isn't ducking?? If boxing is going down this path of ANARCHY than why doesnt IBO just declare themselves a MAJOR title now and skip the process of being made popular by fans, champions and the sport itself. Skip the process of being RECOGNIZED and elevated (blessed) by all the other sanctioning bodies and IBHOF. How do we solve this "disputed" confusion? Simple. If Lomachenko was stripped, how did Lopez fight for it?? Simple, have we lost simplicity? WBC has single handedly change the prerequisite from 4 to 6. So now you need the "franchise" and "regular" wbc title???? Lopez STILL didnt successfully dispute his claim by producing a certificate (blah blah) in that video saying "Haney got played". All he showed us is that WBC CREATED yet another status belt much like the WBAs "regular" belt. As in, Gervonta Davis is the "regular" WBA champion (minor) while Lopez is the WBA "super champion (major). The point is titles aren't created MAJOR they have to go through the same process like the WBO did and that takes time to be recognized than elevated. This is why the "franchise" nor this newly created (Lopez just showed) CANNOT be considered MAJOR TITLES. Devin Haney has the REAL title because it is RECOGNIZED by all sanctions including boxing hall of fame and all other major landmarks of boxing. Even someone that argues the point that Haney didnt fight for it so hes not real champion is still irrelevant to the fact that he HAS IT. Also technically, Haney HAS fought for it since he puts it up to be defended. He will put it up again against Fortuna. As champion you never really stop fighting for it. Not Haneys fault that WBC have no balls nor backbone, never keeping their word; destroying Haneys title hopes by breaking their own rules in making Loma vs Cambell rather Haney vs Cambell (who were both ranked #1 and #2). Loma wasnt even ranked with WBC at the time yet Arum pulled the sneaky. Haney deserves the title because he would have beaten Luke Cambell for it. Bottom line, LOPEZ IS NOT UNDISPUTED IN because THEIR IS A DISPUTE!!

wbc themselves said loma was the real champ so obv lopez is still the real champ if we are thinking logically and rationally. wbc also loves money so they will happily placate mr hankey the christmas poo resume fighter and pretend he's champ if he gives them money everytime he fights. nothing wrong with stealing a little bit of his dazn money. hankey steals from dazn and wbc steals from hankey. the circle of life. this belt nonsense is just nonsense. why would you think hankey is champ for beating the bums he has fought? why dont you respect fighters who take risks? lopez is younger than hankey and has fought the top 2 guys in the division. hankey signed with dazn and has fought 2 bums while saying "i want to fight everyone" cool story bro!

They did and Lopez said he wanted $10 million. Hearn said that Lopez does not want to fight🥊

Yes, at $10m, I'd have to agree that Lopez is effectively pricing himself out of that fight.

Well stated. But those who simply hate on a fighter will ignor all facts or logic and continue to spew there hate. Cant win with them.

Lopez who accepted a guarantee of $1.5mil for Loma all over sudden asks for almost 7 times his biggest pay day for Haney... that's absurd. Loma guarantee was $3.25mil so Lopez knows full well $10mil is just crazy, $5mil is maybe something that can be negotiated around, but 10 is as said... pricing yourself out

[factsarenice]

Love a fighter that manufactures reasons to avoid opponents. Big fan & I'm down for $75 ppv vs speedy Koala George.

Lopez vs Thurman for 10 million apiece, only big stars please.

hankey hasn't fought anyone. there is no reason to fight him. why cause he "has a belt" thats not even true as lopez holds the higher belt anyway. also guys like senchenko held belts. were people calling for a fight iwth senchenko? no. no one cared but when its hankey the guy with a much worse resume than sechenko everyone has to halt their careers and fight him? why doesnt he make an effort in fighting good fighters? hes never done that.

hankey himself said he made 2.5 mill to fight shot gamboa so whats so wrong with 10 million to start negotiations? and if lopez doesnt get the 10 mill then what? oh no he doesnt get to fight the guy with no resume at all what a shame that is! hankey is the one that keeps crying and pretending he wants the fight yet has done nothing at all to actually make the fight. not a single damn offer. not one. you dont find that strange? he wants to fight loma...no offers. he wants to fight lopez...no offers. how were these fights going to happen? pure fantasy? did he expect them to come to him with great offers? hey guy that is making 2.5 million to fight bums want to fight me for a million? you think hankey would take that? it would be ******! he knows he is robbing dazn and would never risk losing that money source. he is simply too overpaid for the good fights to happen. blame dazn! dont blame the real fighters who are taking risks. dazn created this monster and dazn has the money to make the fights but they refuse becasue they want a ROI on hankey. they dont want to overpay him just so he loses to a top rank fighters thats ******. they are milking the moronic fans for all they are worth with the "im being ducked" narrative while paying him millions for garbage fights. if you think hankey is going to take similar money to fight top fighters you are sadly mistaken. just check his twitter. hes already saying how he makes more money and deserves more than them. hes a fraud

[factsarenice]

Teofimo vs Koala Kambosos, dunny or bust for 800k.

wat? hankey is the one ducking. look at his resume. complete garbage. lopez just beat the top 2 fighters in the division. hankey chose to fight alfredo santiago and gamboa coming off a loss. how do you explain that? please name me all the top 10 wins hankey has? oh none. hes hype. hes a media creation. he wants to fight everyone...cept he doesnt do anthing to fiht them. he signed with dazn when all the top guys were with top rank...he wants to fight loma even thogh loma said he was fighting the commey-lopez winner BEFORE hankey became mandatory, and now hankey thinks he is entitled to a fight with lopez because what? because he beat gamboa? because he has an interim belt even though lopez is the real champ(according to the wbc) please. make an offer! make a frigging offer! hes not even doing that! which exposes that he's a complete and utter fraud.

i dont know what that means. hankey has made zero offers to lopez. pretty sure 800k is more than zero unless you are a drooling moron which seems to be the case. have a great day though. maybe they even let you out of your lil room today to see the sun?
