Sounds like you are seeking confirmation bias. Lopez has just fought and Haney is fighting Gamboa on Nov 7?
Lopez says he will fight him here - https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...jks7e6MZUIE-ZR
There are way too many factors that could come up at the moment, but I will say that Haney may not be the most worthy opponent. If Tank and Garcia win their fights, both definitely deserve it more than Haney.
If it comes to a mandatory, then we will see his other options. I won’t make excuses if Teo fights a low caliber fighter instead of Haney, but we will see what happens. It’s way too early and Haney still hasn’t proven that he belongs at the top. He looks the part but until he beats a top 10 guy in the weight class, he needs to wait his turn.
And Bob says if it isn’t Loma it’s Garcia. We know which way this will go so let’s get it out there. Do you support Haney getting locked out just like Charlo was by GGG and Alvarez?Quote:

Seems to me Lopez has put up or shut up. He's very much in the drivers seat and why the need to back the racial trash truck into it. Let Haney walk before he runs and impress against someone fans widely recognize for the first time, even if he is almost 40. And Haney wasn't exactly hard to miss in his last fight either. Two bigger roadblocks that actually exist are DAZN v Top Rank you're asking the alphabet boys at the wbc to unify it's own hardware :-X. 135 has 3 of the youngest highly touted would be super stars in the sport all set to make statement fights in back to back to back. Sit back and enjoy. It'll unfold quite nicely.
Because promoters hold the strong card on rankings fighters, ABC organizations just acquiesce. So the standard norm to getting a fight is to claim duck. Every race in boxing has played the card. Again, with major promoters cockblocking each other's top boxers it has become the norm.
For all.
Gamboa should not be fighting anymore
Arum won’t let Teo fight Tank or Haney.
He won’t even let Crawford fight the best at 147.
We can’t say Teo is ducking anyone as he just beat the best in the division.
Haney also wanted that Lomachenko smoke but it was the hard hitting Tank who kept his mouth shut when Lomachenko name was mentioned.
Sums it up for me.Quote:
