    Rather see Shakur Tank tbh. That's prime v prime.

    Loma should now chase the rematch with Haney.

    Tank is the face of boxing on that we are agreed because he puts bums on seats on more ways than one. Opinions lie, people lie but figures don’t lie. Tank is now the pay per view King. The reason the fight can happen now is simply because it’s big enough now and at its optimum value. It’s called prize fighting for a reason so you fatten the calf. Loma deserves a massive payday which Tank will graciously give him to send him into a well deserved retirement as an all time great.

    Please no excuses when he loses. Floyd was 36 when he schooled and outclassed Canelo and Mosley was around the same age when he assassinated Margarito not to talk of B-Hop exploits or Archie Moore. In my opinion Tank beats Loma hands down but ultimately I like the best version of each against the other.

    As for officials I don’t expect them to favour one guy over the other and if you truly feel that way then your job is to take it out of the hands of the officials like Loma did on Saturday, like Marvelous Marvin use to do and as did Uncle Azumah Nelson.

    I give kudos to Loma for beating Kambosos and stopping him in Australia a job well done.

    Fights happen when they are supposed to. If it happens now Loma and his family will be happy he earns more in this 1 fight than all his other fights put together even with his 35% of the purse split. See how Tank made Ryan Garcia a multimillionaire.


    On a separate note how do you see Usyk vs Fury. Today I think Usyk but my mind keeps changing.

    Loma being 36 isn't an excuse. Stop being so damned biased. No one is prime at 36. Floyd was not in his prime when he beat Canelo and neither was Mosley when he beat Margarito. Mosley was damn near shot.

    So that's a meaningless argument. Floyd was just that much better than 23 year old Canelo that even past it he was still better.

    And Tank is 29, Canelo was 23.

    Loma said he has always been open to any fight and his track record confirms that resoundingly.

    To be fair, Twink has always been open to any fight too.


    On Twitter or X as it is now called :lol:

    Twink's record for fighting the best on X is beyond reproach but do I really have to remind everyone of the how full of PBC smoke and mirrors Twink's CV is or how he's been shamelessly and undeniably ducking Loma like he has leprosy for seven freaking years? :lol:

    Funny how Loma is the only human in history who gets younger the older he gets :lol:

    Devin Haney 2020: ''Loma is too old too slow''

    Tank 2019: ''Loma an old man. I'll retire him''

    Floyd 2019: ''Lomachenko needs to fight as many fights as possible, extremely quick!, because he's very very old''

    I could not care less about any fight with Abdul. I’m surprised people still care about any fights with this guy. And doesn’t he have a fight scheduled? So this is the usual promotion talk, how PBC has lived is through these empty promises.

    You handle your business the way Teo handled it (at the time). He burst on the scene, and had it out with Loma. Loma was perhaps past prime, but Teo fought him at the earliest opportunity. Tank… well, we’re still waiting at 7 years. Zero respect for fighters that use that blueprint.

    I wonder if Haney, Lopez and Garcia will even stick around at 140 much longer. Garcia couldn't even make that weight. So Loma might have to go up to 147 or a catch weight. Seems unnecessary when Tank and Shakur is at 135. And if he's lucky, maybe he can get Inoue at 130. That seems more worthwhile to him imo.

    Tank should first worry about Frank Martin (which ain't a forgone conclusion tbh). I think Frank should have been vetted a little more before fighting a top 3 guy but then again I credit him for saying "let's get it".

    Loma already has declined Shakur 2X so that fight likely ain't gonna happen. So if Tank beats Martin I see that happening. If Martin wins I can actually see him fighting Shakur or Loma. Shakur not getting what he wants unless he collects the other belts and forces what he wants.
