Tank hasn't done any remarkable thing just yet. Talent of course he does have. Nowadays the "0" is protected too much. I remember a quote "if you haven't loss, you haven't fought nobody" or something like that. In a way it is true. Floyd never fought the #1 at any weight. At 130 Casamayor was the King and they never met. WW Paul Williams and Margarito, he fought baldomir. 154 Lara was right there and he was avoided. Just to mention a few. Tank can fight lomachenko, he won't do it, he will fight an over the hill Gamboa.

i know he hasn't done anything remarkable...try reading the thread...my point is he has plenty of time and prob 87 percent of the guys in the last 30 years haven't done anything remarkable by age 24....which is my point

tank will fight loma...when hes ready...you cant fault a 24 year old for not wanting to face a 32 year old top ranked p4p guy right away....we cant make tank magically 30 years old...or even 26 right now....


people want to forget ages when its convenient...like they wanted canelo to be a ***** so they said "he needs to fight golovkin now"...theyre doing the same with tank.....we cant magically make guys the same age and at the same point in their careers

take a look at some of the threads when teofimo was calling out loma....there are a bunch of them....as soon as he did it the loma fanboys screamed "what has he done..who has he beat...he hasn't earned it".....

but when it comes to tank, yall are saying he hasn't done sheet...yet you want him to fight loma right now...lol....I love the constant contradictions the pbc/Floyd/haymon haters use...

lol@hating on Floyd...what else is new...its no surprise you don't like tank and are bashing him

lol@p will and margarita...Floyd just beat the brakes off the guy what whooped margarita....and p will would have been easy work for Floyd...and I was a big pwill fan...but Floyd would have figured him out...he had 0 defense and just trained to stand and throw tons of punches....Floyd would have eaten him up once he figured p will up....

yeah he fought baldomir..for a belt...and once he did he fought the guy that used to have it that everyone wanted to see him fight in zab....

yall still got them margarito "boogeyman" stories huh? lol.......dude cotto beat him the eff up and he was beating margarito up the first time he just messed up...if cotto could put a whooping on that boy Floyd would have too

and bob arum actually confirmed that Floyd agreed to fight margarito while he was with TR....but he wanted future guarantees against cotto and hatton and bob balked over something like 8 million extra in future guarantees....and that's when Floyd bought himself out.....arum admitted this and was ok about it...cause he thought Floyd would still use TR as a banner to promote his fights the way Floyd did with golden boy....once Floyd started using golden boy instead bob flipped his lid and started the nonsense you perpetuate...

yous a dummy

Age is irrelevant. He's a belt holder FFS; his promoter pimps this fact, and I think Ellerbe claims he's the best in the division. So why shouldn't we expect Tank to take on the stiffest challenges??

I just don't understand boxing fans like you.

when teofimo and devin haney say they want loma what do boxing fans like you say? probably the same stuff "do something to earn it...they haven't proven anything"

yet you guys say the same stuff about tank and want him to fight a seasoned p4p guy like loma.....its strictly agenda driven

age is relevant...its totally relevant...and ive admitted many times that holding a belt doesn't mean much today...they are watered down

loma was able to get a title shot in his 2nd pro fight when he had proven 0 at the pro level....holding belts doesn't mean much...anyone can get one if they have the connections and money backing them....its a nice thing to add to their resume "hey im a world champ" but its cheap

tank is still a pup

some of you guys don't understand age and what it means...and u think you can make all things equal "oh she should fight loma no doubt"....loma was fighting kids with headgear when he was 24

what p4p greats was loma fighting when he was 24?!?!?

stop saying age doesn't matter...it totally does!!!

most guys at age 24 aren't taking on the #1 or #2 p4p fighter in the sport....

Good post, again.

I don't remember your new username. What was your original one? This username looks like someone doubling on abtfkntime!

Anyway, you said you didn't know about Davis' amateur fights. I know all about it and really don't care about any of that. This is the pros.

A few more facts here for you about Davis:

He spars regularly one of the biggest and best southpaws in the world in Spence (been like that for a few years now). He works with Floyd on defense.

Spence and him are good friends. And, if you are a Davis hater (not talking about you), you wouldn't like Spence's story about Davis. He likes to spar bigger guys. Davis has a rock solid chin as well.


Loma's struggle with Pedraza had to do with the southpaw stance. He really doesn't like it. I've seen that in some Loma fights. Every time Pedraza turned southpaw, he was owning Loma. Loma looked confused and out of sorts. Davis is a bigger southpaw and better than Pedraza ten times.

Yeah I'm just trolling abouttime...original was Boxing1013.

Amateur success just seems to me to be a great indicator of future success in the pros...just meaning that most great pros were great ams...but not all ams become great pros.

I never watched Loma-Pedrazza, but I did have Linares-Loma and Campbell-Loma close for most of the fight...will be following Davis's career going forward...he is a good talent.

If belts are meaningless, then he and his promoter can publicly vacate the WBA belt and let other dogs fight for it. He's welcome to vie for supremacy once he's ready to step up mentally.

No, I want Loma (and any other top boxer) to fight the best challengers. That's how the sport retains any sense of credibility. That's my only agenda.

[REdrUm0351]

Too many fighters end up broke so I am ok with a fighter making money. What disappoints me is that while he may make more money with Floyd I am not sure if he will cement a meaningful legacy with Floyd. The kid is talented and he could be facing tougher opposition. If Floyds plan is to keep him fresh while Loma ages and grinds to unify and then Tank jumps in for the straps in one shot that would be genius. It would also mitigate the risk. We will see.

[Lomadeaux]

lol....if a 26 year old tank wants to fight loma...you guys will all cry that davis waited for loma to get old....its exactly what would happen....it would run rampant online "Tank waited for him to get old blah blah"...yet tank would be the same age most guys actually start stepping up their level of comp

do you know that tank is actually scared to death of loma? or could it be his handlers dont wanna put him in there with him at this point? scared to death?!?!?! lol....

It would be very tough to be Tanks manager. He is one of the ******er fighters out having to deal with that has to be annoying, but still... the fact he won’t even say his name shows you.
