    I wouldn't mind a fight between him and Walsh, Farmer or Fortuna next.

    Tommy Hearns was only 22 years old and still a little green when he fought Leonard. Erik Morales was only 23 when he fought Barrera and still developing technically, he still fought him. Duran was only 19 and at that time one dimensional brawler and still green when he fought Ernesto Marcel (the man who beat Arguello).

    That's what you got to do when you're world title holder.

    1. I don't like that he's going to just milk boxing by keeping the belt hostage. VACATE, you earned the belt anyway!
    2. He will fight a mandatory, fair enough, but what next? Another couple of mandatories? In a division of 6 killers, THAT IS HOLDING THE BELT HOSTAGE!
    3. It's a logical point I'm making, and whenever Lomachenko has been mentioned since his interview, he's just said Loma is a great fighter and that he's not interested in fighting Lomachenko yet. Belts are meant to be for the big boys.

    on another thread the thread maker seems like a very big lomachenko fan, maybe he feels davis is a threat to beat lomachenko I'm guessing that's where his problem stems from

    Dude, put down the liquor bottle and go take a nice sauna to purge that poison out of your system.
    Davis just won the title and you act as if he should get back in the ring next week to fight Lomo, else he should drop his newly won title.
    What kind of rot-gut liquor you drinking that leaves you with 3 active brain cells?

    Exactly. Thomas Hearns, Marvin Hagler and even HOF Pipino Cuevas who was SHOT TO PIECES BY AGE 24 are shaking their heads.

    The only thing I disagree with the OP about is already saying Davis will milk the title. He's only had the belt for 2 weeks so he hasn't time to milk the belt.

    He's just assuming that's how Davis will treat the belt. Though he's probably correct in his assumption that Davis will end up milking it for years.

    When you win the title you have established yourself.

    You sound like a GGG hater bringing up past greats to bash at the guy. News flash: Past greats are greats for a reason, for doing the unexpected, even from an elite talent. You can't hold everyone to same standards.

    To be fair at least they are honest enough to admit he isn't ready to hang with Loma. The point of defending your belt is vs the mandatory contender. No harm in doing this for a while.

    If the public were clamouring for a fight against someone it would be different, but they aren't so I don't see the harm in his current path.
