    Pimp, like usual they act like they cannot see the video you posted and have been posting for a few years now. It doesn't fit the "Floyd ducked Manny" Agenda they are on. The dudes own trainer siad this and they still won't admit it SMH.

    Hes a world champion now, cant avoid down to inexperience. He isn't good enough for Loma. You want to see him fight Walters ? That's who Loma fought last, why not Loma now ?

    It's an honest statement, Floyd realized Davis is nowhere near
    ready for someone like Lomachenko, he admitted it.

    Also, this fight would mean a lot more in another 2 years after Davis gets another 4-6 fights in.

    I don't know how much the gap will close since it doesn't look like Loma's peaked yet either, but Tank will be more proven and seasoned by that point. A win for Loma now is nice and all, but it carries a bigger impact in a couple of years. Give Davis a chance to build a track record, and that becomes a huge fight at 135.

    Because he's not ready. Not sure what is so hard to understand about that. Having a belt or not, only haters accuse a 22 year old, with less than 20 fights, of ducking a top pound for pound fighter. The fight will be there down the line. In my opinion right now, it's easy work for Lomachenko, for minimal money. Down the line the fight will be tougher for Lomachenko, but also for a bigger pay day. As I stated previously, Davis' handlers are smart. They will get him defenses, against guys he can continue to hone his craft against, gradually stepping him up.

    Loma would embarrass him. Absolutely no comparison in talent.

    If hes a world title belt holder then there is no excuses. Be ready for everyone, not this cherry picking learning your craft tosh. He should've learned enough coming up !

    have to disagree with you
    a lot of fighters have been rushed into big fights in the past, before they were at their best (Fernando vargas springs to mind v Oscar and tito - though he put up a good showing in both fights)

    the last part of a person's brain to be formed involves the ability to 'look around corners', or predict the outcomes of your actions. this isn't completely formd until the mid-20's or even a little later

    so although you occasionally see human wrecking balls like mike Tyson buck the trend and truly reach the top well before this time, there's a reason why most established champions aren't made until much later

    and while having a 'world title belt' may sound prestigious and give weight to your call to arms, the truth is that having a belt in boxing means much, much less than it does in most other sports - since there are way too many of them

    They're going to wait until Lomachenko slips i.e from age 32-33. That's not a long time to wait. Remember Loma has had a massive 403 fights before turning pro and his frame is small. They'll also wait until Loma is at a sub-prime weight of 135.

    Gervonta will go for more defences this year, and set up fights against the likes of Farmer, Sosa etc. then go for the biggest belt holders like Corrales, Berchelt (or the 135 equivalent of these guys) and then he'll go for Loma.

    By that time, Shakur Stevenson can give fat Gervonta a boxing lesson.

    @IntentionalButt @Rumsfeld @CST80 Who banned me and why? That was a long and unwarranted layoff. I'm British and you banned me for nationalistic trolling against Brits for saying that boxers more often do not get a fair shake as there are always dodgy scorecards and there's something definitely wrong there and thus Spence better look to win by knockout.
    That shouldn't have been a ban, it shouldn't have even been a warning IMO because I am British and we see posts like these all the time which are not intended to troll, although some of them are.

    It wasn't me, I was away that week, I saw who banned you and I'm pretty sure it was The Professor IIRC. But don't hold me to that. Just stop doing anything that has US vs. UK implications in the title to be sure.
