    For sure man. I think 2 years from now Loma will be the unified champ at 130, and willing to move up and fight Gervonta at 135lbs (cause that's where he'll be) any time. Davis and his people won't even be considering that fight for 5yrs.

    As long as Loma is remotely spry, that they will want none.

    I disagree, I think this fight happens within 2 years. Tank just needs some more experience vs quality opposition first. He’s only 24 for crying out loud. When Loma was 24 he was still fighting 3 rounders in headgear. Fans just need to have a little patience. I will say I don’t think Mayweather is doing him any favors putting him in with guys he can roll out of bed and starch in 2 rounds. But, I’d love to see it happen in early ‘21 and barring any unforeseen circumstances, I think we will. Its at the top of my list of fights I want to see, man. They are 2 phenomenal talents and it would be great for boxing.

    Everybody moves at their own pace. Mike Tyson was past his prime at 24. Manny Pacquiao and Salvador Sanchez were ATG's at 24.

    False, he just called out Farmer after his last fight. That fight will be his next fight i believe.

    You know calling out a fighter doesn't actually mean anything. Signing the dotted line is what makes fights happen. And when it comes to a guy managed by Mayweather I'll believe it when the name is on the dotted line.

    Despite of people saying that there's no significant challenges in 130 and 135, there are actually plenty names that can be potentially lined up as future opposition of Lomachenko. Such as the winner of Commey vs Lopez, and also Haney who will be WBC mandatory should Loma wins it in this August 31st and Haney wins the eliminator against Abdullaev. There's also Berchelt who seems to 'run out' of high profile opponents who are not champions. There are also possibility of Santa Cruz or Russell Jr. to go up as well, but their actions and words mostly don't match. From all those names, I honestly think that Tank Davis is the one who has the least possibility to face Loma.

    I do believe that Tank Davis will only fight Loma in near future if the circumstances forces him to do so, like he can no longer make it to130. Right now, he is comfortable of making money through meaningless title defense where he'd be paid a million dollar for each fight. He probably will fight Farmer though since he has real chance to win this one. But not more than that. He won't face Berchelt, let alone Lomachenko. Because "he isn't ready".

    For those saying Davis is waiting for Loma to "age" remember old shot Salio beat the younger Loma, so I don't see it as a excuse it will be the upcoming star against the experienced top dog

    “Dominate” is not something floyd does. He lands 1-2 jabs more and a judge gives him the round. Another judge in another country would give the other guy the round. Judging is extremely subjective specially when it comes to floyds fighting style.

    Again, I’m going by logic. You know how to use that right? You can only claim broner is not as good as the fighters he lost to. Ok, fine. But which of those fighters that broner lost to would Ramirez have beaten? Lol.

    Well it took floyd 5 years to fight Pac and never to fight Margarito so good luck with that 2 year plan.

    Tank don’t fight Loma unless he leaves Floyd. It’s no wonder he was pissed at Floyd a while back.

    That said, Floyd knows better than tank. Floyd knows tank loses to Loma and that hurts his stock. So from a business perspective which is how floyd views this, floyd is absolutely 100% correct with this move.

    Hows does that refute what I said??

    Is Arum talking about matching Loma with Tank?
    Is Lomachenko talking about wanting to fight Tank?
    No.

    Lomachenko is fighting Campbell next and the winner of Lopez-Commey after that to unify the titles.

    Thats his dance card full for almost the next year

    So making your opponent look like an amateur shutting guys out making your opponent fight your fight out and holding them to career low punch output and connect percentage isnt dominating? What's your definition then? Going life and death with horn and getting busted up? How about never beating jmm clearly? Or maybe is it losing to a faded erik Morales? You dont know **** about boxing and are a hater to boot. Pbf dominated more than 90% of the fighters he was in the ring with. In fact when he didnt win by wide UD or a shut out people like you thought he lost because you were shocked.

    Lastly who in the hell rated broner going into his fight with pac? Where was he ranked at 147? You have no shame and are about as bad as paranoid when it comes to pac. Everyone here laughed at bromer and considered him a joke. Now after pac beats him he's a factor again in boxing and is a good win. Broner in his last 7 fights is 3-3-1 that's not good dont try and sugar coat it because pac beat him. Thurman was a good win broner wasnt. Everyone in the top 10 at 147 would beat him as well. Lastly Ramirez fights at 140 not 147. Broner lost all but 1 of these fights at WW and mikey already said he will never fight Ramirez so it's irrelevant. With that said Ramirez is more highly rated than broner and would be favored to beat him if they fought at 140.

    Tl:dr running away from and fight and minimising the action via bicycle and hugging is by definition “not dominating”. It’s actually called surviving. And if he were to do it in “da hood”, it be called “being a *****”. Maybe in a dance contest. Dominating is when you beat someone up and establish yourself as the alpha in the ring and physically enforce your will on someone. That is you hurt the other person.

    What floyd does is far from dominating, in another era he would lose half of his fights for running. Heck ODLH lost his fight vs Tito for the exact same reasons. Hence completely subjective.

    How can you dominate and be asked by your daddy “why you fighting so damm scared” at the same time? Lmao.

    Now you want to bring up "da hood" lmfao!!!! I got you now. I wasn't aware you could out work your opponent and outland them in power punches landed by running??? How does that happen?:risas3::risas3::risas3:
    Please explain? If not log off.
    I have a question for you? How do you lose to horn who was dominated by crawford? How do you lose to jmm who was shut out by pbf. How do you lose to a faded erik morales who was beaten by raheem? Pac is a atg but he's not as good as pbf period. Pbf doesnt lose to any of those fighters and DOMINATES them.
