    Is he going to duck both him and Shakur? If he's not going to fight at least one of them, he might as well retire.

    If Lomachenko can't get motivated for a Tank fight — the absolute biggest fight out there for him and a genuine superfight — then it's time to retire.

    Coppinger has just reported that the fight is now completely off because Loma doesn’t want to fight again in 2024.

    If that’s the case then I doubt this fight will ever happen. It’s in Loma’s best interest to fight Tank asap because he’s already past-prime. Every month that passes, Father Time catches up and his chance of winning diminishes.

    My thoughts exactly. If you can’t motivate yourself for the biggest PPV draw south of 168 lbs (Canelo), you won’t be able to motivate yourself to get in the ring again. Time to vacate the IBF and leave it to those who can motivate themselves.

    Well that’s disappointing… Has Loma finally lost his drive for the sport? He might as well retire if he doesn’t have that desire to keep fighting anymore. The longer he waits out the slimmer his chances are against Tank, if they ever do fight at all.

    Good for Loma. He calls the shots. Screw Tank the cherry picker.

    Sounds like Loma just wants to chill with the family until December, we’ll see how he feels at that point

    Guy has had hundreds of fights in his career over decades. If he wants time with his family in the twilight of his career then it is his choice. He has earned it and these guys like tank have been avoiding him for years so no, they don't get to call the shots, Loma does.

    Dumb move.

    If he doesnt fight Tank now then he never should. His chances only deplete by the month. Waiting another near year to make the fight is senseless. Just dont fight him then.

    Clear duck by Loma, but hes 36 years old, Tank and his peeps shouldnt have tried to age Loma out. Might have backfired.

    With a bit more confidence maybe Tank could have fought Loma and actually added a prime'ish Loma to his resume.

    Less than a handful of fighters can duck one of the biggest and best fights in boxing and get 'good for him, hope he enjoys the time with his family' in response from certain fans. :lol:

    crazy. years of listening to the tank is ducking loma talk, and now loma gets kudos for dismissing a chance at the fight.
