    Gamboa is another one with a naturally small frame who added a lot of muscle via the use of PEDs in order to compete at a higher weight class

    Two fanboys. Lomachenko hasn't fought a single good fighter who pressured him since Salido.

    Maybe Loma took it upon himself to look somewhat human in order to lure Gervonta up to 135.

    This, of course, is assuming Tank actually carries his power up from 130 to 135.

    Idiot who pretends that Salido didnt cheat on the scales and in the ring. Loma arguably still did enough to win.

    You miss the point entirely. Salido was only good to a certain point, regardless of how he bent the rules. That was still good enough for Loma to only "arguably beat him" in the eyes of fanboys and lose in the judges' eyes. Loma had already completed the World Series of Boxing and shouldn't have had much issue. It was a cherry pick gone wrong.

    Since that time, any decent opponent Loma fought boxed with him. Davis has been fighting more like Tyson than Mayweather in 2019, which could be a problem for Loma.

    Yeah. Coming in way overweight, disgracefully fouling has no relevance. If the rules of boxing were enforced Salido would have had several points taken away or even DQ'd - not to mention the extra weight which obviously made him more efficient fouling aside. That fight had zero bearing on his career or legacy other than robbing him of a record. As for Davis..... Don't see him causing a lot of issues but it's a great fight to be made and may be close to happening considering Tank vacating his belt.

    Cool. Davis is still much better than a weigh-bullying, fouling Salido who had fairly recently lost to Gamboa and Mikey.

    He'd have beaten the Salido that Loma lost to IMO

    I disagree. Salido’s draw against Vargas AFTER he beat Loma is probably better than anything Sosa did, with the one possible exception of his win over Fortuna.

    Regardless, Salido’s veteran skills trumped Sosa’s youth and raw skills against Loma.
