Gervonta ducked prime Loma and now he's ducking prime Shakur.

    This dude quack quacked is way out of a fight against a prime Loma he waited till Loma is 163 years old to muster the courage to mention his name.

    And now he's doing the same with Shakur the problem with Shakur is that he can't age him out like he did with Loma so that fight will probably never happen.

    With that said even an ancient Loma would be a step up in class compared to the scrubs he's been feasting on and I wouldn't be shocked if the old man ends up exposing his ass.

    Loma is a better fight than Shakur.

    You don't duck Shakur to fight Loma.

    If it was prime Loma I would agree but it's not.

    Shakur is in his prime right now he's the hardest fight.

    With that said there's no indication that Gervonta will fight any of them.

    Hope I'm wrong though.

    You say that knowing both would lose to Tank.

    Loma is the best LW in the world, Shakur is a bit untested at LW tbh

    What? I don't know **** until they get in there and fight anyone who says they know who wins is just guessing or nutthuggin simple as. These aren't the lay ups Gervonta usually fights those you can say for certain who wins but with Shakur and Loma no result is guaranteed.

    Gervonta is such a talented fighter that's why it's so frustrating the way his career has unfolded. He's a big star as it is now imagine had he took more risks by fighting the best guys in his division and possibly beat them where would he would be right now? We could've been talking about a possible ATG at this point.

    This is why the Loma fight has to be next.

    Wahid has done it the backwards way round, he's secured his star ability before testing himself.

    But now the stars have aligned for him to face a p4p talent in a big unification fight

    Some true in that.

    But it would've been so much better fight back then when Loma was at the peak of his powers and was a top three pfp fighter whereas now he's not even top 10 in most lists and is 36 years old. A win over this Loma isn't as valuable as it would be back then still a good fight though.

    Conversely a win over Wahid wouldn't have been as valuable then.

    Wahid is right now at his physical and name prime.

    I thinkt the fight is as big now as it's ever been, even though it's not as competitive as it would have ever been.

    He can but it will have to be by KO
    if He can’t win a decision against Haney ….
    tank will be the favorite.

    A win for Loma would be huge.

    For Gervonta not as big as it would've been and he would most likely get the same credit ppl give to Inoue for beating Donaire with the all age thing and in this case Gervonta has no one to blame but himself for waiting so long to make the fight ( if it indeed happens).
