Nothing else makes sense for Loma.
I hear Tank wants to fight Loma, but Tank is a coward, he can`t be trusted.
I used to believe Loma should have returned to 130, but it is probably not a good idea by the age of 36.
Loma, Tank and Shakur are the champions and top guys in the division so I'd love to see any 2 of them fight each other.
My number one choice would be Tank vs Shakur as they're both in their prime. Loma is past his physical prime now.
Either tank or Shakur are great fights. Stylistically, Shakur is a nightmare matchup for Lomachenko. Shakur should be able to keep him at bay whole fight with powerjob jab and very long frame.
Tank is an excellent boxer despite the hate, the most powerful of the group, and with solid defense. He does stupid sht and gets part of the Floyd hate, but Tank may very well emerge as the king the new age fighters (Haney/Teo/Tank/Shakur/Garcia).
Make either one by the end of the year!
Agree 100%. He should challenge himself more. His resume though is more than that.
Ok I agree with your 2nd paragraph but that to me is the reason so many suddenly don’t want the best dighting the best at LW because deep down they believe Shakur murks Loma and that Loma likely beats Tank.
While I respect Loma's skills, I'm a bit ambivalent to him. My lack of interest in seeing him fight Shakur isn't because I don't want to see him lose, it's because I don't think it will be a good fight. I view Shakur vs Tank in similar way but at least Tank has one punch power to provide potential drama.
Tank vs Loma provides the best matchup in my opinion. Two technicians with different skill sets that are comfortable to mix it up. I think it provides the most uncertainty and the most entertainment.
I think people just want to see Tank fight someone who is an actual risk to beat him. I like Davis and I'm a fan but he hasn't really challenged himself all that much at this stage of his career. His two bets moments are Pedraza and Garcia.
Tank and Loma are a better matchup of styles in my opinion. Loma's physical limitations and Shakur's skillsets are a bad matchup for the Ukrainian.

Its just that if the Tank fight can be made, it seems more exciting and suspenseful. No on wants to watch Shakur even if he is talented because he doesn't have much pop and has an unappealing style. He is fast becoming the Winky Wright of his day.
Completely understand your point but strongly disagree.
Bob puts him in with bums like he is next, instead of the fights he should be in.
Shakur has everything to lose and nothing to gain. So he fights like that.
When he is in with the top guys, see Valdez, he destroys them. My point is had Bob made the Valdez fight earlier, them the Loma fight now, instead of the guys he outs shakur in with, he’d have a better resume with more dynamic performances.
Why would you be against Tank fighting Loma or Stevenson?
I’m not. I am talking about the best fighting the best. The majority of people don’t think Tank is one of the 2 best LW’s.
As such, the fight to make is Shakur and Loma. We aren’t getting that.
Tank is a tedious US hypejob who is nearly 30 and has done more fighting on Twitter than in the ring.
I want to see all three of these fight each other. Right now, I find Loma - Tank more appealing. Given the latter appears to be calling for it, why not give him what he claims to want?
You mean Tank is the biggest earner in the division.
Tank, if he is a hype job as you posted, shouldn’t be part of the discussion if we want the best fighting the best. Right?
You illustrated my point with this post. Now of you’re telling me Tank is one of the 2 best, ok.
If I'm Loma, I try to get the Tank fight. Shakur is high risk, low reward at this stage of his career. Plus with Tank and his low output, I could see it getting interesting with him trying to outwork Tank.
Shakur doesn't sell. I think he probably UD's Navarrete. I think him vs Zepeda would be an interesting stylistic matchup. Him vs Tank is the best stylistic matchup, with two low volume guys, one with the defense and the other with the offense. Not sure who wins that.
Not sure why Loma should have to go through all of them though. He'd be undisputed already if Russia hadn't invaded and he was the one who fought Kambosos instead of Haney. I would prefer Loma v Navarrete and Tank v Shakur, with the winners fighting for all the belts.
Why? Because Vaquero will be in regardless, as will Loma. Might as well get one of the ducking prima donnas who are too good to take on an undisputed fight to take the other out, so nobody has to deal with both of them. They both spend more time on social media than on making fights. Loma would be 50 by the time both of them agree to fight a top guy in their own weight class. Just look at their records at 135...
But Tank will probably duck everyone.
And if I'd said he should fight Shakur, you'd say it was an excuse to avoid Tank. It doesn't take a genius to know that either
I think Tank avoided Lomachenko so your lame response doesn't apply. It also doesn't change the fact that you don't want to see Lomachenko fight Stevenson because you know there's a good chance that he loses.
People say they want the best fighting the best. These are the 2 best LW’s in the world. They should be fighting.
People criticize Tank daily until its time to discuss Shakur v Loma. Then suddenly its Tank who should be fighting either rather than them fighting each other.
Makes no sense.
There is no reason shakur didn’t fight last night other than Bob protecting Loma.
Gives some bum the Shakur fight. No wonder Shakur is leaving TR.

It also doesn't take a genius to know that Shakur is capable of beating Lomachenko convincingly.
So far I've seen a lot of excuses for Lomachenko to avoid the fight.

If Loma couldn't get a fair shake vs Haney, you don't need to be genius to know how the scores would be slanted vs Stevenson.
Loma vs Tank, better late than never.

I’d rather see Lomachenko vs Tank, or even vs Navarrete.
I like v Navarette a lot. Both very unique styles that have won them much success because of it.
I personally find Loma - Tank more appealing.
I find almost anybody vs anybody more appealling than shakur vs anybody. But if somebody would catch shakur, it could be loma.
