    Not at all. They being smart and getting in line to unify 130 first. Tevin Farm is next on the list first for the end of this year.

    Davis doesn’t want Loma unless he’s shot or dead

    Loma don't want Davis. If he did, he would have stayed at 130 and unified there. Davis already said he willing to fight Loma if he comes down to 130.

    On the contrary, I think Loma has made a very good strategic long term move by concentrating in 135. This is a class which has been relatively more competitive and all the boxers there have more willingness to fight Loma (except for Mikey Garcia). If Loma does all things right and successfully unified 135, he will have considerably bigger bargaining power on his side.

    People like Tank Davis or Berchelt can't stay in 130 forever, there'll be time they need to move up. Especially Davis who we all know has been struggling with his weight management. He said he would fight Farmer, but there's no talk at all. Gary Russell Jr. wants to fight him as well, this one also no talks ever happen or coming up. When Tank can no longer maintain his weight, he only has one choice : to fight the only titleholder in 135.

    Say Loma and Davis fight and the bout is competitive but ends with Davis by KO or TKO. I would still bet on Loma going on to have a better resume when it's all said and done. I just don't see Tank as the kind of guy who will chase greatness.

    Am I missing something here? David has got some big power but what makes people think he’d be able to land and knockout Loma? Lomachenkos one of the slickest and best defensive fighters in boxing and arguably is. Has Davis fought any with anywhere near lomas boxing skill. Nope. Pedrazas decent but not anywhere near elite. Just want someone to tell how Davis ko’s Lomachenko without just saying he has powah.

    Lomo has one skill i believe will always put him above Davis , temperment.. I believe he will frustrate Davis , like he did Rigo , and Walters ..
    After 3-4 rounds Davis will stalk him , playing right into Lomo's trap , angles and body work will ultimately whittle down Davis's composure , dont forget he IS a street kid , rep and lookin good is a factor , he will give Lomo a stern test , of that i am sure ,but Lomo will prevail and take a unanimous points descision

    Loma is being poorly managed right now. I think he will beat anyone at 135 and probably 140 too. He should just get in there and fight everyone he can.

    Maybe he can unify 140 and have a megafight showdown with Pac there, the money would set him up for life.

    I disagree completely, Harold Johnson was way better than Andre Ward and actually beat rated Super Heavyweights instead of just talking about doing it.

    Floyd already said that he's not letting Davis fight Lomachenko. Floyd already said that he chooses the opponents and to blame him.
