    No hate for Loma he is a really good fighter and champion just not the greatest ever as some wanted to proclaim him. He has a lot of extreme fans in their irrational devotion to him hence we call them Lomasexuals in fun.

    And how Loma found out he wasn't ready for Lopez.

    Like all fighters who did had won 10 title fights. Such kind of fighters does have a lot of extreme fans regardless from their surname.

    Ohh, all fighters sometimes find out that they are not ready. Lopez is young kid, he too will find this sooner or later and will be replaced with another up coming star for good sales.
    This is casual thing in boxing. Prizefighters might be changed relatively easily, fans and business remain.
    Prizefighters are just material to earn with, like actors in cinema, no offense there. With exception that famous actors usually might earn a lot even if they are 50+ with the same kind of job they had did when they were 20-30 y.o.

    Some fighters have extreme fans for various reasons. Lopez is a good talented fighter and champion like Tank.

    I know its management, but its a duck in a business sense

    I think the same seems to have occurred with Garcia now

    Oscar advised against it right now

    So its a duck?

    It was not a duck at all from Tank’s team because it would have meant moving up in weight immediately he won the title to take in Loma. Taking it then would have been novice management even if Tank won. You need to bring young fighters on properly. Check the story of the talented Davey Moore.

    Oscar is many things but he is not a fool and he knows putting Ryan Garcia in with Tank right now is suicidal.

    He accepted a 50/50 deal which including a second weigh-in for Winky's titles.

    Floyd wasn't a huge draw himself back in 2005.

    Everything was set up until he changed his demands right at the last moment.

    He ran his mouth off but then wouldn't go through with it.

    He ducked the fight.

    All top level fighters in both, amateur and pro ranks are good and talented fighters.
    I might list damn a lot of fighters who appeared " not to be ready " and these fighters will be well known western surnames. Including HOF members and very great fighters well known worldwide.

    Only in modern boxing fanbase this is like: you should have 0 not to be called a bum.
    While a lot of top stars who were not only pro champs but also Olympic medalists appeared that " were not ready " and had lost even vs underdogs.

    Meanwhile Tank is scurrying to 140 to fight a no hope bum while Ryan fights a real opponent. Tank hasn’t fought a legit LW yet and his opponent of choice is a bum as usual. You Tank fans are a special kind of stupid.

    Ryan has already beat a top LW and is signed to fight his second top LW while Tank plays baby games and has to worry about jail time for being an idiot. He ducked Loma, ducked all top LW’s and continues to suck legit opponents at every weight class. Half witted people are plentiful so Tank will probably continue his nonsense. He’s a disgrace to the sport.

    I can only speak for myself based on the eye test of what I see and observe. A guy like Loma with his close to 400 amateur bouts ditto Rigondeaux were more than ready to fight for world titles when they turned professional. Other quality amateurs who turn pro need to build up properly including medalists the likes of Ali, Mayweather, Leonard, Foreman, Frazier etc. If you rush a talented amateur to win a world title before their time it could be tragic. Good examples of this are Davey Moore fighting for and winning Light Middleweight world title in his 7th professional fight then he has to face contenders like Duran who destroyed him and he was never the same. This is an example of terrible management.

    Barrios is a top Light Welterweight and current world champion. If Tank wins sets him up nicely for lucrative mega fights with the winner of Josh Taylor vs Ramirez and also Teofimo Lopez. Smart management moves especially as Teofimo won’t hang at Lightweight much longer.

    BS Winky is a great fighter who lost to Vargas and could not sell flies unfortunately.

    Tank wants no part of a top 140 pounder just as he wants no part of a top 135 or 130 pounder. He escaped 130 without facing any top guys, scurried out of 135 without facing a top guy (he’s literally never fought a legit LW, let that sink in) to fight a bum at 140, a weight he has no business fighting (except against bums). Continue spraying perfume on a turd, it might smell a little better but it’s still a turd. That’s Tank’s career in a nutshell. As long as there are enough dummies to fund this idiocy, I don’t expect it to stop any time soon.
