Per ESPN.

Would seem logical to me that he take on Linares if not Garcia and then fight Teo at 140. I don’t hear anyone clamoring for Haney-Lopez right now.

Totally agree. I don't think he's quite ready for Teo. I confidently believe that we can all agree that Teofimo Lopez is a SERIOUS step up in class for Haney (who most recently earned a decision vs a 39 year old Yuriorkas Gamboa). In fact, I'm not so sure that Devin is immediately ready for Linares.

Agreed that Haney is not ready for Teo but this plays right into the scenario that Ryan Garcia wants.

Teofimo is making some serious mistakes. There are very good genuine questions as to if he would beat Lomachenko a second time and Loma looks willing to do it. Teo should take advantage of this and dispell Loma once and for all if he is able to.

I kind of side with Teo in that Loma’s bellyaching after the fight gives him little incentive to fight Loma again after a clear cut win.

It would be an explosive rematch so personally I hope it happens.

Haney should fight Rolando Romero. They both have the same style. Rolando's talking a lot of shit about being ready for the core elite. Not even close.

Haney shouldn't be in such a rush to get his first loss.
