Arum wants Loma vs Tank unification in November (UPDATE: LOMA NOT FIGHTIN' THIS YEAR!)

Just depends on the individual. Zhang is looking pretty good.

 

No. The lower weight classes require those reflexes that Heavyweights don't need to rely on. Loma being Loma it is possible that he can pull it off, but the reality is that the ageing process doesn't sleep.

 

Agreed, Tank vs Loma is the definition of a super fight. A historically meaningful title unification between two of the best P4P boxers around, with big money involved.

The only people complaining are Loma fans who are scared their man will be knocked out, otherwise I can't see how any neutral could complain about this fight.

 

I'd lay odds it'll be Tank if anyone that derails that fight from happening, he wants to, as Floyd called it, let the fight marinate a little longer.. He'd like to wait until Loma's in his 50's

 

Its Tank that is not ready for Loma lol Bud himself will fight anyone. Remember Canelo bragged he was The King of Boxing prancing around in that silly crown like a fairy lol until he met Dmitry Bivol ROFLMAO Dmitry beat him like a dirty old carpet lol

 

He still looks solid to me. In reality he's only lost a close fight to Salido early in his career, a very close fight to Lopez. If you scored those fights as one whole (as they did in the amateurs during Lomachenko's era) and not grouped into 10 points per round, then Lomachenko would have won them both. I also feel he beat Haney for the undisputed so really he should be holding that now, then he was very impressive against Kambosis. I also felt Jamaine Ortiz deserved a draw vs Lopez and Lomachenko beat him clearly.

Lomachenko is looking as good now as he ever has at lightweight. If the fight happened vs Davis 4 years ago it would favour Loma more but Davis was possibly a little green then.

Fair enough Davis is on a great run of stoppages but I he drops a lot of rounds early in fights while he's setting his traps. He can't be so sure that he will be able to catch Lomachenko in those traps later in the fight. Interesting chess match this.

 

Ya thats why Tank has been ducking Loma since like 2017

 

Lol was Mayweather old when he schooled Canelo???
Don't recall Canelo fans saying he was fighting or picking on an old fghter back then. Guess yall just pick and choose when it's convenient .

 

I would absolutely love to see this fight, one of the most interesting matchups that can be made today.

I'm leaning towards Tank in this one, although I usually tend to favor the boxer in these matchups. Lomachenko is getting old, very old for the lighter weights. But Davis is on quite a tear and is fully in his Prime, he's a very hard guy to beat right now.

 

Pick and choose? WTF you on? Canelo called out Floyd and literally they fought the next time out. Floyd didnt wait 8 YEARS to make the fight. Aint no pick and choose wtf you on?????

I dont even remember the last time someone waited out an opponent EIGHT YEARS...JESUS. People thought it was bad Canelo waited GGG out 12-18 months and this Cabbage Patch doll on 8 years ffs

And he filled those years fighting fringe contenders or shot to **** opponents including:

Rolly Romero (nobody)
Hector Luis Garcia (nobody)
Lmao Geriatric Gamboa w a literal Torn ACL
Mario Barrios (fringe contender)
Hugo Ruiz (nobody)
Pulled LSC up to 135
Drug RyGa down to 137 w rehydration clause
Nunez (nobody)
Hugo Ruiz (nobody)

Meanwhile Tank has conveniently NOT fought Teofimo Lopez, Devin Haney, Shakur Stevenson, and Lomachenko. I guess those guys wouldnt accept catchweights w rehydrations clauses

You dumb mother ****er

 

If this is true, I'll be going to Vegas 100%

 

Loma is definitely past prime but still among the best at lightweight. If Loma was truly shot he'd have struggled with Kambosos

 

I wanna see the fight. Yes, it's chicken**** of Tank to learn how to say Lomachenko now but he couldn't figure it out 5 years ago. It's a ***** move that has to make him the favorite. That said Lomachenko is still better by far than anybody Tank has been in the ring with and might still have the stuff to pull it off. What happens if Tank's power doesn't affect Loma like the other guys he's fought? What if Loma has a Pitbull Cruz chin or even 80% of one?

At any rate it will be a fun fight to watch.
