    50-50 ….

    Jesus Christ. Garcia is shite, chin up in the air off balance, Loma would embarrass him. I don’t think Garcia had even a punchers chance even being that much bigger than Loma

    Just as most predicted Tank would wait for Loma to be in his late 30’s before fighting him.

    Everyone’s been talking about this since 2017. A lot of people have been asking for this fight for years while Tank kept ducking Loma. I don’t know why Tank is all of a sudden interested in a Loma fight now that Loma is 36.

    I'd be pleasantly surprised if Tank fought Loma after Frank Martin.

    If they did fight, however, Lomachenko would be a very live dog. In fact, if Tank doesn't stop him, which is certainly a possibility, I can easily envision a scenario in which Loma outboxes him over 12 (whether the judges give him the nod is another matter entirely)

    As I've noted for years, Tank---while certainly hard hitting and more refined in his approach than many are willing to acknowledge---lacks the length and physical dimensions that have troubled the Ukrainian in the past. It's 50-50 fight for me.

    Five years ago, I'd have picked Loma without reservation.

    Lomachenko still beats him, but if the fight doesn’t happen within a year or so, I’d favour Davis, Lomachenko’s younger than Donaire when he fought Inoue for the first time and is less shopworn than he was, and has a better style for longevity, he’s definitely still got enough left, but the fight needs to happen within a year at the most.

    Hopefully Tank will grow some balls and take the fight after refusing for countless years. He might wait until Loma is 40 just to play it safe. Tank is a cowardly little ******.

    Fights overdue. Tank waiting him out. Which was commonly predicted here and everywhere. Still would like to see it

    Tank is the money fight as he puts bums on seats and sells PPV’s. He got paid over $50 Million for the Ryan Garcia fight.

    Canelo fought Floyd when Floyd was 36 years old and past his best but Floyd still took him to school.The question is who is better. Won’t accept accept excuses.

    I have stated this years ago. If Davis wanted the fight he could make it happen anytime he wants . The fact is Davis and team never wanted this. Loma has faced everyone and willing to concede purse to make it happen. As others have stated, this has been talked about since Loma moved to 130. Now that Loma is nearing his twilight all the sudden we get a tweet Davis is finally ready.

    He absolutely has. The Salido fight is the worst robbery of them all. The ref (letting Salido low blow), Salido (coming in substantially over the limit), the scorecards (Loma STILL won the fight).

    Davis absolutely will not fight Loma until he's 40yrs old. Just stop the nonsense.

    Loma is going to fight Shakur next. He's going to box Shakur's ears off and have him on ***** street at least twice.

    Then Shakur is winning a wide UD
