    Is this fight possible for late 2021 or 2022?

    Or will Floyd continue to protect Davis from the best fighters like Loma, Lopez, Haney, and Taylor?

    Floyd will Treat Tank & Manuever his career with the
    Primary goal being
    A - "Least Risky"
    Secondary Objective
    B- "Most rewarding" fights available.

    This is the Blueprint to Riches.

    If Loma wins all the belts back, it might be hard to avoid him.

    Safer to fight Loma at 135 the Taylor at 140.

    Shut your lying ass up. He didn't avoid Tszyu they fought for rival networks and neither were big enough to warrant a cross-promotion fight.

    Pac avoided pbf because of testing he waited til pbf got old and shot before fighting him.

    Mosely turned pbf down on live TV and told pbf to fight margo dummy.

    You will say anything to promote your hate filled agenda.

    You're full of **** as always. Pbf agreed to all terms back in 2009 it was pac who didn't and pulled out of negotiations and ran off to fight Clottey a duck. If pbf had done that he would've been run out the sport but because pac is more well liked he gets a pass. When they fought pbf schooled him.

    Actually Taylor needs to take his big butt up to 147 and get introduced to some proper naughty boys.

    NO.

    Nobody, if they are not PBC and even if Loma is somehow joins PBC, not even than.

    Sadly they are trying to keep Tanks 0 that way

    According to who! The biggest liar in boxing. Taking nothing from Taylor because he can fight but I think that he has outgrown 140. Tank was called out by Santa Cruz and did what he was supposed to do. Just like Loma did Rigo. I can't think of any other fighter he fought that was undersized and on second thought, Leo looked to be the bigger fighter in his fight with Davis.

    This is a good point and obviously a dilemma for Davis and his people. The are no easy inroads into a alphabet belt right now, unless they want to milk "regular" defenses. However, if Lopez beats Lomachenko again and moves up or Lomachenko wins and then moves down, both of which are likely, Davis will have his opportunity at lightweight. You will get the typical fracturing and then the young guns--Garcia, Davis, and Haney--will move in to collect the trinkets. If I were Davis' people, I would rather deal with a skilled but soft-punching Haney and a powerful but defensively-flawed Garcia then Taylor, Prograis, and Lopez.

    I hope that Floyd allows it, mostly because win or lose Tank's stock would rise. We as fans could care less about whether a fighter has an 0 on their record. If the boxer has an extensive career with an 0, you've not fought anyone, gotten a few gifts, or just been a complete anomaly. If you fight the best, you'll lose a few.

    Wonder how Davis must feel being owned by Floyd.
