Davis is 29 years old and it seems finally willing to fight a 36-37 years old Lomachenko.
As a fan, how do you feel about Davis avoiding that fight when he was 24-27 and Loma was 30-34?
That’s what I said. Didn’t think i’d have to specify years. I hope posters can use deductive reasoning when I said “but it should’ve happened by now.”
Let me break it down for you a little further just in case:
7 years ago it was too early imo. Should’ve happened by now = it should’ve happened any time after those 7 years and before 2024. The 2-3 years ago you speak of fall in line with the “by now” part of my post.
My bad. Yeah I agree with you, should have happened by now. It's a shame. Davis acted like a coward here, no excuses.
Davis has never shown any interest in fighting Lomachenko even when he parted ways with Mayweather, who left a script for him to follow. At first I thought he didn't like the criticisms against him for not fighting the top guys in his division.
THANK YOU! The people on this site really make me want to punch them. Bob Arum has always said he doesn’t care for cross promotion fights unless they’re big. Tank just became a real star a few of fights ago. Loma was bigger than Tank, so if anything Lona should’ve been pushing for the fight because he was the A side. Did he? NO! It’s not Tanks fault he’s older now. Even in the post fight interview he didn’t sound enthused to fight Tank. IDK why people on this site start hating on fighters when they become a draw
He did and tank ran to the hills. Were you not around then? Tank, Floyd, Ellerbe, etc said over and over we aren't ready to fight Loma. They wanted to take the wilder route to popularity koing bums. Did you know tank turned down 5 million to fight tevin farmer? A Loma fight wouldn't have been worth that much at the time but Hearn tried to overpay tank. So if he's not willing to fight tevin farmer for 5 million he's obviously not going to fight Loma the guy he keeps saying he won't fight for less
Both fighters on opposite sides of the boxing political spectrum. So why does all the blame lie on Tank and why does Loma get a pass? Loma has the best promotion company and the biggest sports network in America on his side. Why wasn’t there any pressure on him to make the fight? He’s the higher ranked more accomplished fighter.
....and he loses his fights occasionally. That slows up the process.

In boxing there’s too much dck riding so you will never get an honest assessment. If you like it fighter then people will always find a way to justify their decisions. And people will find a way to blame the fighters they don’t like.

boxing is an amazing spectator sport, there is no black & white just many shades of grey
How many fights do cross promotion? Floyd Manny, Fury Wilder 2 and 3, Tank Ryan Garcia just off the top of my head. And all of those fights had big cross over potential. Not necessarily Tank Loma. That’s why neither side really entertained making it. The only way they could’ve made the fight is if one side allowed their fighter to go over and fight on the other network. Neither side was willing to do that. So my point was why does one side take all of the blame while the other lies blameless?

because at the time, Loma was the guy to beat! he was the star (kinda like how tank is right now)... there was no mention of any interest of fighting him from tank... just because they are promoted under 2 different companies doesn't really mean anything.. fights got made in the past from 2 different companies... and at the time, Loma was is his prime, are you saying Arum doesn't believe Loma could be tank during that time? you know arum don't have any problems co-promoting fights when HE knows HIS fighter will win and at the time Loma had all the advantage to beat tank!

The blame lies where the blame lies
Loma himself had even contacted floyd directly in 2017 to goad him into making the tank fight

A tweet really? Loma’s Shukar Stevenson now. lol everyone knows the best way to make a fight is to go on Twitter.
Too late now. Lomachenko has announced retirement in the Kambosos post fight presscon.
wow
kambo was right
he said he would retire loma before the fight
lol
rambo kambo does it again
So why does all the blame lie on Tank and why does Loma get a pass?

Likely due to the fact that boxing fans have kept receipts, and there is at least one interview per year since 2016 of Tank/Floyd saying "nah, we don't need that fight."
2016 bro really?
