    Floyd won't let Gervonta near Loma for a while still.

    The Lopez's are definitely thinking business. If they were quiet, they would never get a Lomachenko fight. Now there is actual interest building up for the fight.

    Good interview, Loma seems like an articulate and sensible guy.

    You nailed it as far as interest from the two camps. I feel confident we'll see a Lopez fight over the next 9-12 months. And it makes sense- he's still young enough to bounce back from a loss without it defining his career.

    Tank's team doesn't really want it.

    The Tank fight will never happen and that falls squarely on FlIVd. He did the same to Pacquiaou and not hes trying to do the same to Loma with Tank. Its a shame because I think Tank would take the fight.

    Doubt Top Rank will risk Loma against Lopez. Tank is still fighting at Junior Lightweight/Super Featherweight . When he moves up and his Team Al Haymon/Leonard Ellerbe/ Money Mayweather decide he will take out Loma. He is developing nicely making more money than Loma and is the A side.

    Yup. If they took the fight and the L, they'd look fearless. Green Canelo fighting and being schooled by May didn't hurt him long term.

    This is false. Tank made 1 million for his last fight in February. Loma had a 3.2 million minimum guarantee from Top Rank. Tank is straight out ducking.

    Tank is scared, Ellerbe is making excuses. When Loma beats Lopez if they fight they people will say Lopez is a bum.

    Not to mention, it's funny to still buy in that a dude who needs multiple weigh ins to make 130 isn't really just a lightweight boiling down.

    Davis has missed weight 3 times in his last 4 fights at 130, one of which cost him the title when he couldn't squeeze down in time.

    If Loma moved to 130, I'd put the over/under at two weeks before Tank officially moved up to lightweight. The ONLY reason he stills kills himself to make 130 is because Loma's at 135 and Tank's team can milk title fights without running directly in to Loma. They can avoid the fight while maintaining face. Some fans are still deluded enough to not see what's happening there.

    Twink starts shaking like a ***ting (another word for pooping) dog on a Winter night everytime Loma's name is mentioned in his presence, and both he and his promoter openly admit they're ducking and want no part of Loma until he's old, grey and past his best. He only makes 130 by the skin of his teeth and struggles so badly to make it he's failed to do so at the first attempt in his last 3 fights and even lost his first world title at that weight on the scales, very nearly lost his current one on the scales in his last fight, needing 3 attempts before he finally managed to hit the mark which he couldn't even make on his second attempt despite stripping butt naked. And Twink weighs more in the ring fighting down at 130 than natural 130 pounder Loma does up at 135.

    Twink weighed just under 4lbs more in his last fight than what Loma usually comes in at up at 135 and he would've already moved up to 135 last year had Loma not been up there waiting for him lol. Loma is a natural 130 pounder who makes weight with ease, only rehydrates about 3lbs after the weigh in, and was giving away at least 7-8lbs to Linares - it was a lot more according to the Boxing Writers Association of America (''138 vs 152'') but I don't know if that's true or not -, 8-9lbs against Pedraza as confirmed by his own team the other day (''146-147''), and at least 7lbs against Crolla if not more, whereas Twink is killing himself to make 130 and only talks tough on Twitter.

    Twink 141¾lbs - Hugo Ruiz 134¼lbs

    Let me let you into a secret the PBC guys get more money than disclosed. I agree Top Rank are ducking the real tests.
