As they should be. A 23 year old fighter is the undisputed lightweight champion, having fought Linares and Kambosos, and that's really it. Haney having those 4 belts cheapens the prestige, imo, especially with all the bullshyt hes been spewing since winning on Saturday. Never thought I'd say this, but I'm looking forward to lomanchenko taking his titles back. To be real he's still the king of 135.

:dwillhuh:

Loma should have never lost to Teofimo then, and then teofimo went ahead and lost to Kambosis. Was haney supposed to wait to take the belts they were freezing him out of until Loma got them back :dwillhuh: boxing takes are so bizarre sometimes.

Loma is still the king while losing to a cub on the come-up ?? :gucci:


I wonder what the excuses will be when Loma loses to another young blood :scust:

If Loma/Teo/Top Rank hadn't done everything in their power to box Haney out of big fights then Haney would have got the opportunities to fight Teo and/or Loma already. That's their fault not his, follow along with what is actually happening in the sport so you can avoid posting dumb shyt in the future. Lol @ calling Loma a king when he didn't bother to fight for 6 rounds of an *undisputed* fight.

I guess everyone forgot that if not for the Ukraine war, it would have been Lomanchenko vs Kambosos and he would have gotten them back. Teofimo wouldn't have beaten him in a rematch either. I agree that top rank did everything they could to freeze out Haney, especially when they made Loma a franchise champion to avoid him. I'm not denying that. But a champ as young a Haney who literally had the easiest road to become undisputed really cheapens the achievement.

I kinda see your point that beating one guy to become undisputed is not as impressive as the way Taylor and Charlo did it where they beat 3-4 guys to collect all the belts. But when you think about it, there shouldn't be 4 belts to start with. There should be one champ per division and to be the champ you got to beat the guy who beat the guy and that's exactly what Haney did

That is fair. I just worry about promoters cheapening the accomplishment. It's almost like this is a round about way to having 1 title per division. I understand all these belts being around, especially to keep fighters happy. But yeah it's too many.

By the way none of this happens with Haney, had dumb ass Teofimo Lopez did the right thing and drop the belts when he won them. I knew immediately when he decided to fight Kambosos it was a mistake.

I'm ok with it. None of them has anything going in their career anymore just doing it for the money and Chisora probably "for fun" too. And for Pulev this is a lot better than beating up washed MMA fighters in Triad Combat events on Triller

He passed away sometime last week. Was friends with him on FB and I seen people posting RIP on his page. Dating back to Friday.

I know his mother was in a bad car accident and she almost died. Although idk if she ended up later on. I have my suspicions on the whole thing. But I'm not gonna speculate.
RIP..hate to hear a guy go out so early.
