    Because it’s not been the optimum time. You fight to maximize revenues as you develop your fighter to his optimum. Presumably Lomachenko and Lopez will leave Top Rank which will allow some fights to be made.

    Yup...that's why Duhvontis ran from a Loma fight for years.

    Commendable that Whyte and Chisora have become PPV attractions and damning Lomachenko has not. That is why it’s important to be with the right team like Tank. He fought a great Mexican fighter in LSC for a reason. You notice Tank wore Mexican colors and Sombrero into the ring. Like Uncle Roger Mayweather of blessed memory and Floyd, Tank is building his base in the African American urban markets and in the fight loving Hispanic community.

    No evidence of that especially with the guys in different divisions. What we do know is who took a WBC Franchise belt we call a protective custody and witness protection belt.

    What would you say is the optimum time?
    When Loma is latw thirties or essentially past his best?

    The sport needs casuals

    You can wear the colours of whatever nation he likes... You need to have something about you to transcend the sport a charisma ... He can barely form a sentence.... Knockouts are great but it's sometimes not enough

    He may be on PPV.. But he's not a star n won't be

    I am sorry but I thought Loma is the greatest fighter in the history of boxing according to Bob Arum and the Lomasexual’s. I think now Tank is a PPV fighter and the man it can happen next year if Loma is keen which I doubt he is. Apart from Tank’s ability another quality he has is that he is a dog which Loma talented as he is , is not.

    Sure but if they want him to be a boxing star Garcia needs to avoid Tank, Haney and Teofimo Lopez.

    Like I said his numbers don’t lie as he is selling out arenas in Texas, Maryland, Vegas and New York.

    Tank wasn't ducking Loma, Floyd was strategically ducking Loma. Loma was running from Haney and ran into Lopez who promptly relieved him of his straps. Loma was too cautious early and that cost him the fight. Too much over thinking. Fools rush in where wise men fear to tread. That was Temo and it paid off. It also highlighted his weaknesses. He can very well lose in his next fight unless it's a cherry pick which is not Temo's style.
