    Oh I get it Loma wanted to face a very young Tank who had not reached his peak whereas true ATG’s like Floyd at age 36 was schooling the undefeated Canelo Alvarez. Loma’s duck tells me all I need to know.

    youre accusing loma of trying to do, what floyd actually did. unless you believe that kid at 152lbs was peak canelo and fully developed. only difference is that canelo said "bring it", while tank said absolutely nothing.

    Canelo was 8 years a pro and an undefeated world champion. He was at his peak.

    I'm gonna respectfully disagree. I'd say he was at his peak against Jacobs. Not saying he'd win against Floyd at his peak, but he wasn't at his peak when they fought.

    No he did not because there had been no negotiations as PBC/ Mayweather Promotions and Top Rank were not dealing with each other. Now the climate has changed and Loma called for it and Tank was game then Loma pulled out MIA. Anyway I wish Loma a good retirement.

    Tank vs Stevenson? Me neither, but might be quite tactical an uneventful, at least if Stevenson wins. And then there might well be a rematch.

    Loma might be 38 before the winner becomes available. Solely his own fault, though.

    Deflecting because you know you are pathetic.
    I don't claim to be some highly educated genius I have boxed and played league taken some head knocks over the years. You are just a private school dork.

    Tanks been boxing since hes been 5. He was prime enough to fight Loma at age 25, 26, 27.

    A 26 year old champion thats been boxing for 21 years of his life isnt ready?

    JFC. Come on.

    Class envy now is because you are jealous of the private school posh education of the Right Honourable Lord President of the Council. My old Rugby League team mates who did not attend private school like me welcomed me because I am not a BS merchant like you. As they say in Texas you are “all hat and no cattle”.

    I think he was because I saw both him and Floyd fight on the same bill in Vegas the year before when he was still undefeated.
