    Keep those thoughts to yourself as a warm comfort blanket.

    1. Brilliant fighter and first ballot HOFer with ATG talent (130lbs) whose career ultimately fell short of ATG status due in no small part to career mismanagement, tough luck (Haney decision), and injuries and/or overconfidence (Lopez).

    Maybe age, maybe an injury, maybe he got tired of waiting on 2 guys who won't even fight each other.
    To suggest that Lomachenko is ducking Tank or Shakur or anybody else is a pretty smooth brained opinion.

    If Davis had the balls to fight a prime Loma he would’ve received a tanky spanky.

    What a coincidence that all these fighters decided to find their nuts when Loma got in his mid 30’s and showed signs of slippage.

    Could’ve beaten up on George for all 4 belts sooner, but felt compelled to fight in his country of the Ukraine when he could’ve just done both, but instead didn’t go that route, got screwed out out of the four belts (potentially) with the Haney loss and has now retired instead.

    Well what we do know is that Loma retired rather than face peak Tank. The question is why? The answer is because he knew he would get knocked out! Last I checked there are 3 ways to beat Loma but no blueprint to beat Tank.

    There’s a bit of a theme surrounding the fighters that you don’t like.

    One might say that you’re prejudiced.

    Not overrated. Easily one of the best p4p boxers of this century so far. Was robbed at least twice and never received any A-side advantages fighting much bigger fighters.
