    Anyone who thinks Tank is fighting Loma, Haney, or Shakur next is sipping all the koolaid. Devin Haney is the undisputed king of the division and is fighting the former 3 belt holder in Lomachenko next and neither name was mentioned the ENTIRE broadcast. They just kept calling Davis the face of the division over and over pretending like he was at the top. I don't recall them asking who Davis wanted next either.

    For Garcia - Titanium rib & chin enhancement. Liver supplement & a trainer. Move to 140, he looked good there.

    For Davis - Fight all the top names in the division, time is now for the best fights. Winner of Loma/Haney next is a must.

    True. Dlh in his prime was more of a chick magnet as well.

    I'd like to see Tank fight the likes of Haney, Loma and Shakur. But I'm skeptical on him or his management wanting to risk it all against them, maybe if Haney loses to Loma that might happen but I suspect he'll be steered away from Loma and definitely won't fight Shakur. He might age out Loma a bit more and then fight him when he's clearly done.

    As for Garcia he can rebuild, he's young enough. Will be interesting to see how he bounces back from this loss, maybe it's the thing that finally gets him to wake up and realise he can't just rely on speed and power alone and become a better technical fighter or maybe he just decides to be more sensible in terms of his ambitions and become more carefully managed to maximise his earning potential while minimising risk.

    So we'll either see Garcia grow like Canelo did after the Mayweather loss or we'll see him cherry pick opposition more carefully like Khan did after he was KO'ed by Prescott.

    Garcia should move to 140 and face someone like Montana Love, Richardson Hitchins, Stevie Spark or Liam Paro as they are all on the same platform so easy to make.

    Wouldn't surprise me if Garcia decides to call it a career soon.

    Bit if he does continue, a fight with Rollie would be fun.

    For Tank the obvious choice is winner of Haney vs Loma.

    Even from his facial expressions Garcia seemed pleased to lose you could just see it, what a sham.

    Davis will continue to fight and win belts.

    For Garcia....movies and a career as an evangelical preacher.

    I've always wanted to see Tank Loma. Fantastic styles match-up

    135 and 140 seem to be getting more interesting. I wouldn’t mind seeing the winner of Josh Taylor and Teofimo Lopez take on Tank or García. Hell, let’s add Regis Prograis and Subriel Matias to the equation. Plenty of great potential fights all around that division.
