    Davis is much better than Salido and would outweigh Loma. Arum will likely push for Commey and Teofimo before even thinking about Davis.

    Hahaha...finally !

    I knew it that Tank can no longer maintain his weight anymore in 130. It's a good news, it means his potential fight with Loma is on sight and closer than ever. But I'm not sure how this fatboy can survive the 135, because 135 is only Loma or Gamboa. He is a midget of 166 cm tall, he would struggle against all the tall and big opponents. Campbell, Lopez, Haney will all look like giants to him. Probably will pick on some featherweights as usual.

    Davis is a pressure fighter?

    yes, it's a wonder he hasn't succumbed to the pressures of Lomachencko's shadow over him:risas3:

    Close enough. Not sure what you're getting at.

    A lot of people are putting stock into the way Salido beat Loma. As if it's the blueprint. But barely anyone around lightweight fights that way.
    Davis and Salido are complete opposites.

    Gamboa has this dumb tendency that when he's hit he goes into a bravado mode and tries to exchange even more.

    Running away from Monster Inoue is the rational thing to do.

    Getting Nankinged by an Aroused Inoue, is much worse than losing a decision to Loma

    One of PEDs side effects is muscle gain, so if a boxer is as small-framed as Gervonta (A structural flyweight), he should be avoiding the recovery PEDs.

    Andre Ward is much more intelligent at using his weight class, had he been soaking himself with PEDs the same way average users do he will not be able to make Cruiser

    By the way, can WBA Super Champion demand a fight with the WBA "regular" champion? :lol:

    The only people who put any stock into the Salido fight(especially today) are agenda driven idiots.

    Firstly there is a good case to make that Loma beat Salido. Secondly Salido didnt even make weight, and thirdly Salido use like 427824727847 low blows, and fourthly Lomachenko improves a lot since then. This was his second fight. Even if you put prime Salido against him now, he will lose 10 out of 10 times.
    If Tank find some gut in him and decide to fight Loma, he will get his a** beat and he will most probably said No MAS, straight up quitting.

    Good for Tank as not making weight is an embarrassment to the sport we cherish.
    I expect him and Lomo to have a few sparks IF they ever fight.

    Tank will be the hardest hitter Lomo will face IMO. The height disadvantage for Tank will be the kill zone for Lomo and his light punches will keep Tank in the fight and perhaps go to the cards

    I don’t think Lomo will stop Tank but he will make him look green as a baby Turd with his boxing IQ.
    Tank is short, tough and packs enough power to keep Lomo honest when he connects but Lomo might wear him down. Either way good fight IMO
