He’s the best fighter at 135 but being able to make the fights for the belts would be difficult, not to mention the fact that judges routinely screw him, as was the case with Haney and others.
Exactly Loma did it the hard way. Haney did it easy mode, came in to steal belts the dwarfed elderly patient Loma, got outboxed and still got the decision. These promotional companies have no respect for boxing , it’s just a money game to them and manufacturing the next “star”
Loma would have to face Tank, Shakur, Zepeda, Muratalla, etc. Quite a tough road to get to that spot while he's getting older. Would like to see Loma succeed in achieving his goal but it's gonna be a very tall order at this stage.
but Tank is much shorter thus less rangier than Teo Styles make fights. & Tank wants the smoke! This content is protected
Chances have increased now. Wahid and Stevenson have the other two belts and Stevenson has unified previously and shown willing to fight the best. Navarrete will likely hold WBO and has shown willing to fight the best. Only weak link is Wahid, does he want to risk his 0?
He has a chance if politics won't go on his way. For example, he can fight with Shakur next and Tank can fight Navarette meanwhile, winners fight each other next year. Saudis might actually force Tank to fight Loma after 7 years of ducking.
