Paulie Malignaggi speaking facts in regards to Tank v Loma

Tank smokes Loma.

Loma lost to even Haney.

 

Ye about as much as Pac lost to Bradley

 

Sadly,.Tank and his team didn't share your confidence until very recently.

 

I said Loma lost to even Haney.

 

Loma P4P best in the sport by a considerable distance.

It's a shame 10-15 years from now he won't be appreciated as much as he should be

 

In a sport full of weight bullies and juice heads, people can’t appreciate a guy completely owning the divisions he’s actually sized for so badly, that he has to move up to classes where he’s at a clear size disadvantage.

 

There's a reason Tank didnt want to fight Loma from 2017-2023. There's a reason Tank has never fought an active LW champion.

Tank is a good, cute fighter. He's got some power. But his cute ass is too sweet for a real fight which is why he needs catchweights and rehydration clauses. He somehow missed out on all of Loma, Devin, Teo, and now Shakur. RyGa is the worst of that group and Tank needed both a rehydration clause AND catchweight. Pathetic.

Malignaggi is completely correct. PBC fighters especially are flat out bad for the sport. I couldn't be happier that the promoter is going under. Bye bye

 

Tank IMO can fight his ass off. He brings a lot of abilities to the table. But at this point (about to be 30 years old), he needs to be criticized for not stepping up in opposition. There are no excuses at this point. I could understand Gervonta not wanting the Loma fight back when he was 21-23 years old. He was young and didn't have the experience. Now is the time to for him to really make a name for himself legacy wise and he isn't doing it. I see Tank getting mad and arguing with people online when they bring this criticism up but he has no one to blame but himself. There are fighters who were first ballot hall of famers by the time they were 30. I don't think he cares about legacy though. Or maybe he cares but not as much as he should. He left Floyd because he felt Floyd was holding his career back and he wanted the toughest fights. Well so far that has been a straight up lie. He's still moving the same way.

 

Loma is still my favorite boxer to watch from this century.


His movements is art of boxing.



I really hope they can make a good documentary about him.

 

There is a doc about him since he was an amateur.

 

You also said Tank "smokes" Loma.

Yes, Haney "beat" Loma on the official scorecards. It is what it is. A majority of boxing fans, myself included, think otherwise.

 

If Loma was that great, he wouldn't lose a single round to Haney, and beat him convincingly, even KO him.

Almost everyone is claiming that Haney is a fraud, that he's not that good, etc. If Haney is that bad, and Loma is that good, then Loma should've beaten Haney convincingly.

 

Exactly the mental gymnastics are crazy. "Devin is trash" but he fought a very close fight vs Loma. "Ryan is the worst of the young LW's" but he KO'd Devin.

And if Tank ducked Loma when he was young, what exactly is Loma doing right now? He looked great in his last fight vs Kambosis.

There's a reason most fighters have Tank in their top 5 p4p even with his lackluster resume. He smashes Loma right now and the Ukranian knows it.
