Having a belt especially the WBC almost hurts Haney in this situation. It would almost be better if he gave it up and moved up to 140 and became a mandatory for a titleholder preferably the IBF since they enforce their mandatories. This is the way to get a big fight. Hearn has messes up in not moving Haney right. Devin should have fought Gary Russell Jr instead of Gamboa. Then he should have gotten back in the ring either on the Canelo undercard or on Garcia-Campbell to handle business and fight Javier Fortuna. Those 2 fights would have been good wins on par with Garcia's win over Campbell

The problem for Haney is he looks average against people he's bigger than, let alone his size. (I don't think he's bigger than Gamboa, by the way.) But NSB boxing traditionalists say Gamboa is tiny.
Hearn has no confidence in Haney whatsoever. Maybe he should give him Campbell.
Can Haney beat almost D level Campbell with his featherfists?Last edited by BoxingIsGreat; 01-18-2021, 01:55 AM.

Loma doesn't bring much to the table and Lopez isn't a star. It's a regular ESPN fight.

I think Lopez is the best lightweight of the hunch but don’t be fooled by Arums statement, this has more to do with the fact that Haney has the style to potentially hand Lopez a loss. More so than Tank, and especially more than Garcia.
