[Poopdick]

Pugnire the one who sounds like he holds his nose when he talks? or is that gayspeak?

De La Hoya and Mosley. Maybe let pac get past his prime.

de la Hoya, pac, cotto, mosley. pretty much all the big fights for him. I'm sure that fella will disagree but pretty much 90% of boxing fans understands this truth

In 2000, Mosley was the 147 champion. Floyd was the 130 Ibs champion in the same year. Thats like saying Tank ducked Crawford.

PAC wasn’t going through the gauntlet from 2005-2008 so why didn’t PAC move up in weight to fight Floyd? According to you, Floyd should have skipped three weight classes to fight Mosley so using the same logic, PAC was fighting at 130, why not skip to 140 and fight Floyd?

As for Cotto and Margarito who both being promoted by Top Rank, how was that fight going to be made? It took 5 years for Crawford and Spence to fight, were they ducking each other?

Speaking of a prime Margarito, I hope you watched his destruction at the hands of Mosley in 2009.

yes of course spence was being protected from Crawford lol. they wouldn't even mention his name or wbo. he fought b level Garcia and Porter and Mikey. they acted like he was a monster. he got fooking owned.

He is older than Pac, but the subject was that he waited for pac to get old. Not waited for pac to get older than him.
Waited after Pac got KTFO by Marquez.

If Tank beats Loma now, Tank will not get full credit since Lomas best days are past him.

Unless I miss my guess, manny was stopped several times in his career and before he was ever mentioned alongside Mayweather’s name. At no time in his career was manny ever going to be a favourite over Mayweather. Mayweather just had tremendous haters with extreme energy out into his demise m, and a demise that never came…therefore they will never forgive him for it…

People are getting desperate... Gulable. Arum will not let this fight happen. Tank is protected and will not take this fight unless he thinks Loma is made to order, aged a little bit more like a t-bone at a steak house.

Just go through this mental exercize: Think how many times Arum has promised a fight of this magnitude and delivered... Think about the risk Tank is willing to assume. I hope I am wrong...

This fight is a risk for Tank. A very big risk because there is a potential that Loma could make him look very ordinary... Even if Tank sonehow manages to "win." For example, anyone watch the Haney Loma fight? Loma had Haney thoroughly defeated... You could see it on Haney's face.

Tank fought Santa Cruz because he was much smaller, and Santa Cruz was a hittable fighter with a good chin. Tank fought Martin because he is the perfect opponent to look good against... The only way he fights Loma is if Loma looks beatable and in his last fight Loma looked capable.

Loma by TKO and the new….. Tank is great but Loma is simply another league! Style makes fights!

Bro shut up.. Floyd literally retired cuz mosley was at 135 killing folks

It's the Mayweather way: Wait till they're older.. Also, styles make fights, and I'm not sure about this one.

To be fair, I don't recall too many people asking for this fight in the past. I don't even think Tank cared. It's only gotten to the point where it is probably one of the few better matchups to be made at the weight and it favors Tank at this point.

Loma can be hit and moreso nowadays than in the past. I think the fact that his defense has slipped as he's gotten older, but still gets carried away when he gets offensive will leave him open for a Tank bomb. If Loma calms down on his defense to not leave himself too open, but stays busy enough to have a higher output than Tank, he could pooooossibly secure a decision? I just don't see that now. Tank is in his prime, Loma is at the Exit door.

He may have just beat GKJ, but let's be real, GKJ has always been mediocre and outlived his 15 minutes of fame beating Teo. The fact that it took Loma 11 rds to stop GKJ shows how out of his prime he is.

Tank vs Shakur is the Best fight at 135,, Loma is an old lion that's been Beaten 3X already. Tank ducked Loma 4yrs ago when Loma arguably was in his prime... Its spoiled milk. Let's see if Davis can Knockout a young Lion in his prime, But No clowns are cheerleading for a soon be 37yr old man instead Wtf

[wrecksracer]

I'm ok with never seeing Shakur fight again. You're only as good as your last fight, and he stunk. Stink, stank, stunk. Loma may be old, but I'm interested in seeing whether Tank can just wade in with no defense. He had absolutely no fear of Martin, that's for sure. Can he apply the same dumb pressure against Loma and get away with it?
