    This is what is wrong with boxing.. Why the fk are they both fighting random guys and not eachother in a big PPV bonanza?

    Because Loma is coming off shoulder surgery and Tank is a cherry picker who moved to 140 to face a paper champion.

    If they ever do fight, Tank will KO him in style.

    Va-SILLY Lose-a-chenko fans will have 100 excuses ready afterwards to go along with the 100,000 excuses they already have before the fight.

    Moving up 2 weight classes is not cherry picking. Only a casual would say something so ridiculous it's a dangerous fight for tank.

    Dangerous fight but still a cherry pick to an extent.

    If he blasts him out, whichi think he will then he deserves the respect of course but it will be dressed up as if he's won a belt which is a fallacy to draw in the casuals

    Yeah, it's a political cherry pick, that's for sure. This is just another WBA-Haymon marriage to build Davis' brand by labeling him a three-division "champion", which is nothing more than a contemporary joke. Also, Ellerbe and Co. saw what a less dynamic southpaw in Akhmedov did with Barrios, so I imagine they feel pretty comfortable here.

    Nah no cherry pick. You don't move up 2 weight classes and face a big puncher it's very dangerous and that's why many people here are picking Barrios to pull off a win. Dumb move by tank imo.

    Imagine being dumb enough to think Davis isn’t protected? Imagine being dumb enough to think Loma is scared of him considering who he’s fought?

    It was a dumb move by tank, especially since no one was asking for this fight. A fight with Garcia and Haney would make way more money and both are low risk. Respect to Tank though, I still think he wins
