No need for Tank to fight Loma just yet

Davis is never beating Loma, regardless of when they fight.

 

I'd much rather see Loma go after Mikey next (who should beat Easter).

In the mean time, Tank has to hold up his end of the bargain and keep winning. In 2019, it's a fight worth making

 

Have to disagree. IMO, as soon as a fighter wins a title, they lose that privilege of 'not being ready' for the other top fighters.

He wanted the fast track to a title, you take what comes with it.

 

I agree Tank isnt ready for Loma who just moved up to 135 and targets Linares Garcia and Pac.

So why the heck is Floyd naming Loma as Davis's next fight ?!?

Just to piggyback the Lomachenko hype ?
Floyd is an expert at fighting at the 'right time' so I think he's playing a game. He sees Loma going up and he sees talks about a potential Pac vs Loma fight so now its the perfect time to say " we wanted the fight I even called Top Rank doe but they ducking us "

Floyd is TBE at this kind of ish

 

I won't deny that. But he's a "champ". Baby gloves are off.

 

I think that was probably the case before.

Now, I think Floyd would gladly feed him to Loma to teach him a lesson. He did a lot for Tank and I really don't think Tank's social media comments went over well with him.

 

A lot of anti Mayweather and GG fans will disagree with you, everyone including myself were saying Canelo was to young and green that's why Mayweather beat him... I say give the kid at least one more year before fighting a very high skilled experience fighter like Loma, and no I'm no fan of Tank lol

 

Nah you wont see Tank vs Loma next. Floyd wont f with his money. Never

Tank said " only if its PPV " and the kid never headlined a show lol. Tank was never main event and he wants to fight on PPV ?
Thats one way to duck a fight

Kevin Cunningham, Davis's coach just said " Tank doesnt need Loma to be a star" . He said Tank's fights sell more tickets but forgets to mention that Tank was never main-event for those shows which included other PBC champions who are all Americans.

Hard to sell more than an American in the US if you're a Soviet.

If someone wants to duck Loma he can find many BS excuses

 

It definitely won't be next, but I feel like the timeline got moved up from from probably at least 3 years to 1-2. Floyd will probably let Tank do the talking instead of protecting him by being the public mouthpiece like he was doing.

 

He can drop his belt then and continue fighting prospect level opponents if that's the case.

When you win a title, you don't get to say you aren't ready. The title says you are.

 

the natural order of things would be for him to take his ass whooping now, keep improving while loma starts declining, then come back and whoop loma. it will never be a completely fair fight because they are too far separated in age and experience, its just a matter of catching each other moving in opposite directions.

 

I’d agree once you have a belt you can’t hide behind the not ready excuse and you have to defend your belt against your challengers.

If Lomachenko became a contender for Davis’s title he can’t use the not ready line to avoid him.

I think unification can be a different scenario though. If both had titles and as long as Davis was facing his top contenders there’d be nothing wrong with delaying a unification with Lomachenko. At least for 2-3 fights
