    Franchise champ sounds like a guy running a burger joint.

    Maybe we should have our own ESB belt and award one per each weight class and that's the champ.

    I only popped to the store for some milk and eggs and I came out a world champion! I'm going back next Tuesday when it's buy one get one free on belts.

    Not at all, it appears that not only do you claim Wilder to be a top P4P fighter, you also claim Loma is a sucker....very interesting.

    Has Haney actually faced a top 10 guy yet? He sure hasn’t fought anyone on Sosa’s level let alone Siri or Rigondeaux or Linares for that matter.

    Id love to know why a guy who fought for a world title in his second pro fight is according to you ducking a guy who hasn’t even fought a guy in the top 10 yet?

    Loma didn't fight for a title in his second pro fight according to me. Nor did I claim Wilder was a top P4P fighter.

    We both know that Haney would be his biggest challenge to date. I think Arum will prevent it.

    So Salido was not his second pro fight and for a world title? And don’t say the WBS because they’re not listed as pro fights.

    You said Wilder had right to be on a P4P top ten list on the shitty el Chicano P4P list thread.

    What has Haney done to prove himself the biggest challenge yet?

    Well if Whyte beat Wilder, then it'd be a proper unification against a guy that he's already KOed.

    Doubt it.

    I'd favour Campbell and Linares over Haney until I see otherwise.
    Gary Russel is a better fighter than Haney.

    It would definitely not be Loma's top challenge

    You're deluding yourself if you think Campbell and Linares are in his league.

    Russell hadn't accomplished anything when Loma fought him if that's what you look for. He's not a big 135 pounder either.

    WBSS bro.

    I find it very interesting that you're trying to downplay Haney's talent level. It sounds almost like a ready made excuse for a future event that might never happen.

    No, your deluding yourself if you think the opposite. What's Haney done to prove he's better than Linares or Campbell? Nothing.
    No I was looking for skill, speed and general ability as well being in his prime.

    Russel > Haney

    The sanctioning bodies might think they are being clever, but long term I think this will harm their credibility and the sport itself. The WBC and WBA are looking silly compared to the WBO and the IBF. Fans will get confused and put off by all this politics.

    WBSS isn’t pro boxing unless their records are suddenly being counted but last time I looked they was not.

    As for Haney who is downplaying him? I’m not, he’s a talent who has yet to face a true top 10 opponent and is out to fight TBA in his next fight.

    Both Lopez and Commey have faced better opponents, and Lomachenko will face the winner for a unification next. How is that ducking a young talent who has yet to face anyone of note and Teofimo has performed better than him against common opponents.

    1. How am I downplaying him? He’s a talent.

    2. How is Loma avoiding facing him when he’s going for a unification next?
