Floyd Sr. claimed Haney tuned up Tank in sparring. Doubt if Floyd Jr. and Floyd Sr. want to pit their two boys against each other. I'd like to see Haney against someone like Ryan Garcia next, or at least a top 10 guy before Loma.
You reckon Haney beats Lopez??
Yes. The only fighter I wouldn't bet against at 135 would be Loma. It would be a hell of a fight though. Haney has been a pro for 4 years now, and even as young as he is, he is the real deal. If Loma drops to 130, it is a clear sign he doesn't want to fight Tank or Haney, even though he would be favored to beat both. Tank is moving to 135, and Haney is draining to make 135 right now.

A Tank fight vs Loma isn't going to happen either way at least for a couple years minimum. There are so many blocks and obstacles to that, such as Arum vs PBC, Tank's side saying Loma's not a big enough draw and that they are waiting him out, etc.. Haney is mandatory though, he's the one to talk about vs Loma.

I think Arum vs PBC is an obstacle when Arum wants it to be. He used a similar excuse, (and about another 100 excuses) to put off Floyd vs Pac. He claims there is no obstacle for a fight next year between Spence and Crawford.

Tank's side (Floyd) saying Loma isn't a big enough draw to me is translated into Tank isn't ready for Loma.

Arum has said the Crawford-Spence fight can be made with the same blueprint as Fury-Wilder II..

Then Tank-Loma can too.
