    the lighter the division, the earlier the drop off b/c speed matters more at the lower weights.

    My guess is TR and Loma target Navarette in the Fall, assuming Navarette defeats that other Ukrainian kid.

    Navarette, while relentless and gritty, would struggle mightily with even the current iteration of Loma. In fact, I suspect Loma-Navarette looks a lot like Loma-Kambosos.

    Loma would then need Stevenson to remain at TR or leave TR and fight Tank, beat Tank, and then agree to fight Loma in 2025.

    At the moment, I would consider Stevenson a slight favorite, should the fight happen in the Fall. The longer the delay the more of an underdog Loma would become. He's a brilliant little fighter, but time stops for no man.

    I doubt Tank has any intention of fighting Loma after Martin. If he did, I think it's a 50-50 fight. Tank has tremendous power and real craft, but he lacks the length and physical dimensions that have historically bothered Lomachenko.

    That's why Showtime and HBO dropped boxing.

    Those people won't fight each other and it makes it very difficult to respect/appreciate the sport. Lomachenko-Stevenson-Davis should be doing a round robin within this year.

    Put Crawford at middleweight, then talk. Have him fight Janibek.

    Loma would wreck Stevenson and Tank.

    Neither are big weight bullies (well to an extent) like Haney.

    You need size and skill to beat Loma, Tank/Stevenson are bigger than Loma, but not big or skilled enough

    It would be a daunting task. Doable...

    ... But who are we kidding? Dude just isn't active enough to get all of these fights made.
