    Has he been elevated to champ already?

    Yeah, his team chose only fighters that he can defeat without any risk.

    Why he was not unified ?

    why he did not fought Loma for so many years ?

    Well said.

    A Loma fight is also a high risk-low reward type of proposition for Tank. If Tank wins, fans will (and with some justification) argue that he aged Loma out and that the Ukrainian is now well past his prime.

    If Tank loses, which I think is certainly a possibility (I favor Tank 60-40), fans will unfairly claim the kid was never any good and has always been a carefully managed hype job.

    It’s more than that. He learned from Floyd how to collect and analyse the opponents data then it’s a wrap. High level ring IQ

    These over matched guys include several world champions and undefeated fighters. These guys become overrated and over matched once Tank despatches them but they still go on to have big fights, win world titles etc. Maybe you need to stop believing your narrative and actually understand what is happening. Had Ryan Garcia beaten Tank then you would be calling him a world beater. You need to ask yourself why you and others here don’t give him his due. When he stops Loma next then you will say Loma was old but if Loma wins then Loma is the GOAT. To much BS on ESB when it comes to criticism of Tank.

    By the way I meant to PM you to congratulate you on your countryman’s win over Matias. Well done Australia must be proud.

    He never proved that he was good against top level opponents/champions in his natural weight division. (not aging, not making someone move up to fight or similar BS)

    You don’t know **** about boxing because Tank is a ring general with top class boxing ability something Wilder never had.

    This the same Garcia a knockout artist who was fighting at 130 and 135 pounds. Tank is the A side and world champion who conceded to fight Garcia at a catchweight of 136 pounds above the Lightweight limit. Garcia was knocked out because Tank was better than him at everything.

    When he defeats Loma and Shakur the detractors will have excuses.

    Simply Business taking care of our side of the street first and building a star. Now the fight is more valuable than ever and Tank will retire Loma in a fitting fashion.

    Loma has already lost to lesser fighters like Teo and Haney. What I do know is that there at at least 3 ways to beat Loma and if he fights Tank you will discover the 4th way which will be by spectacularly being knocked out.

    Why ? fighting lesser opponents means what ? easier way to reach the top ?

    What was the challenge for Tank ?

    Why fans like you always make excuses, when US fighters don't fight highest level opponents, but still they are the best ?
