Comments Thread For: Devin Haney: Teofimo Lopez is a Liar, His Lies Don't Add Up

[Monty Fisto]

Completely agree. Lopez vs. Kambosos is a good fight for a mandatory in my opinion. Kambosos looks half decent and if his chin is solid I think that would be a very entertaining fight. Haney vs. Garcia is a top fight in the division, I rate both guys and would be interested to see who comes out on top. Then the winners fight each other.

As for Haney's comment of who the king is...sorry, but right now, it's clearly Lopez. He's not undisputed, fúck that Frenchfries non-tranaferable-but-can-be-transferable-if-you-ask-nicely title nonsense. Regardless how he got it, Haney is the WBC champion. But Lopez is the clear number 1 lightweight.

Yes, Lopez is the man at LW after beating Loma, but not undisputed.

Haney's claim as champion is weak as shlt, but rightly or wrongly, he holds the WBC belt.

Eventually Lopez has to face him.

[MONGOOSE66]

WBC lightweight champion Devin Haney has indicated that Teofimo Lopez must face him in order to establish "who the real king is" at 135-pounds. In a recent interview, Lopez expressed his desire to face Haney before the end of the year. The next assignment for Lopez is a likely mandatory title defense against George Kambosos, which is currently heading to a purse bid.

All that matters is FACTS. Teo has the real belts. Haney has the email belt. Nuff said.

I don't know. But I know Ryan Garcia is his top 10/mandatory and shows no interest in the fight. When you figure out how that's Haney's fault let me know.

so why not send an offer to garcia? lopez? loma? anyone! if they turned it down that wold make haney's claims of being ducked look legit, he sent offers to gamboa coming off a loss and alfredo santiago. why? its not like he doenst have a powerful promoter or network backing him. he has dazn. they throw around money willy nilly yet they arent doing it for haney.

[Apollo7]

if he doesnt fight someone as proven as haney...what has haney proven exactly here?

Not much at this point but if Lopez were to fight lesser guys, it's gonna start to look like a duck.

Haney has reason to fight Teo, and I would suppose Teo does, too, if not, only so they can clean up that WBC belt fiasco.

Of course. Haney obviously has a lot to gain by fighting Teo. I'm sure Teo would probably fight him too if he can't get bigger fights.

Haney is next level deluded!

And he doesn't need to wait in line. They both hold WBC straps and need to sort out a clear champion. Garcia has Tank and Manny problem. Teo won't grant a rematch to Lomo, then that leaves Haney who has a version of the same belt.

I'm not going to get into offers because you have no idea what's offered or what their accountant does and neither do I. I don't even care. As a boxing fan that's not my concern. What I do know is that Garcia is Haney's mandatory. If Garcia doesn't want his mandatory shot that's not Haney's fault no matter what kind of weird spin you try to use.

Haney is Lucian Bute

Devin Haney literally is the Lucian Bute of 135; keeping a "title" hostage, refusing to fight ANY challenge, while calling out the top dog (Andre Ward); Teofimo in this case. We all remember what happened when Carl Froch got in the ring with him? lol Haney trying to cut in line for a chance at all the belts when he hasn't even fought ONE SINGLE challenge. Haney needs to fight Nakatani, Commey, Lomachenko, Linares or Fortuna before he gets the honor of fighting for all the belts. Teofimo would be better off fighting Tank in a mega fight, than this unknown, untested, brings nothing to the table clown.

[GLeon12]

lol Tank vs Haney is getting completely overlooked. We need that or Shakur moving into the division. Too many people calling out Teofimo while there is a ton of food to eat in that division.

Except for Haney, nobody cares about Lopez. Davis doesn't need him or his trinkets. Lopez already said he didn't want to fight Davis. Haney is the only one begging for fights.
