People on this site are funny for creating the false narrative that Tank aged Loma out. Loma was the A Side until the last couple of years where Tank established himself as a big draw. Why didn’t Loma/Top Rank ever try to negotiate with PBC? Because he never wanted to fight him. When Loma got asked about fighting Gervonta, Loma’s exact words were “For me he’s not interesting, because I mean for what” . The video is here

He even says “he wants to fight on PPV but you’re not a main event fighter. EXCUSES. Loma and Top Rank never wanted to fight Tank for real, but now that Tank is a draw, Bob is on his last years on Earth, and Loma lost to Haney, Top Rank started negotiations to fight Tank. LOMA ACTUALLY WALKED AWAY FROM THE BIGGEST FIGHT AND HIS REASON WAS THAT “HE WASNT MOTIVATED” You can’t make this shit up. Let’s not forget he ducked the champion Shakur who was ALSO TOP RANK to fight mediocre Kambosos for a vacant belt. Please keep the same energy for Loma that you all do for black fighters and Canelo
Beterbiev just fought someone 6 years younger than him at the age of 39, and no one is saying Bivol tried to age him out. Once again, when did Loma ever say he wanted to fight Tank or Bob Arum say he tried to negotiate it? Never. Just accept that now was the time to fight and Loma ducked him. He just got his first KO in 5 years over Kambosos who went the distance with Haney and Teo, but now Lomas old. LOL
Once again, I never commented on what Loma did in the past. I assume Arum will co ck blk fights regardless... You are comparing apples to oranges with this fight. many reasons why... Like in heavier divisions fighters age differently, and the actual condition of each fighter, because some fighters are simply more shop worn... Davis is a cherry picker, and he saw a ripe cherry for the taking. Loma is past an age where he should be fighting a prime puncher who is bigger than him. Your desire to inflate the serial cherry pickeer at Loma's expense is laughable at this point so yes... LOL, indeed!
You obviously having agenda if you think Haney and Teo we're not better fights. These two young lions were coming up. Both of them were considered very dangerous I don't know where you get this opinion that t e o was not yet a force to be reckoned with but we'll just agree to disagree.
Like I said I would like to see if you were Loma you were hitting 37 years old fighting at a weight that is above your ideal weight taking on a dangerous puncher at this time of your career. There's no benefit for him it's smarter and more mature to simply admit that ship has passed. Everybody is such a critic when it comes to talking about fights a fighter should take. Lol. I'm not even a fan of Loma and I understand the man has nothing to prove.
You want to talk about fighterd and fights they should take? Talk to Haney and tell him he should be fighting Ryan to redeem any respect he has left. He is a young man, lost in the eyes of so many, and obviously is set up for a rematch yet you're here talking about a veteran going against someone in the prime of their career who is very talented and able.
Many people think Loma beat Haney. Even if Loma believed he could go the distance with tank do you really think anyone with sense would put it in the hands of the corrupt judges? Pitbull spanked tank.
Tank is a smart operator and he knows exactly who to fight for minimum risk. That's why he wants this Loma fight now. It does not mean he's not talented. It does not mean he's not gifted intellectually when it comes to boxing strategy.

Now Frank was custom made for Tank lol u keep saying Loma fought above his ideal weight for better fights. For one, there were fights at 130 that were better than his fights at 135. The only “better” fight he had at 135 was Haney. Teo was not a big name when Loma fought him. Jamaine Ortiz, Commey, Nakatani, Crolla, Luke Campbell, Nakatani are not big fights. He fights at 135 because it’s his ideal weight. So Loma being past his twilight years is a good enough excuse for him to duck the biggest fight of his career against the same fighter people said was avoiding him. LOL. Okay sir

Huh? I’m not taking anything personal I’m stating facts. Loma had 10x the career Tank has? Tank is already a bigger draw than Loma. Loma has 3 losses. Nobody cares about his amateur career after he turned pro, albeit a good accomplishment but once u step up to the next level it’s a thing of the past. And yes, Shakur was chasing Loma when he was at Top Rank. Arum presented it to Loma and he chose Kambosos, that was out of Arums mouth
Bigger draw? Who cares if that is even true. Jake Paul it's a bigger draw than both of them together. So?
Shakur never chased anybody lol. Anybody can call somebody out doesn't mean they'll take a fight with him. Let's just look at the behavior of both men to see who truly called a fighter out for a match. Loma for Haney and Teo, who has Shakur fought?
Martin was custom made for tank... No real threat of a knockout punch, a decent boxer puncher. I'm not commenting on The reasons were the ethics fact is Ryan was a skeleton when he fought tank. For whatever reason maybe it's not tank's fault.
Look up lomas career his ideal weight was below the way he fought at. He fought up because there was no competition. I stand by that. Again again, the fact that Loma fought r i g o with the major advantage does not mean anything to me. I grant you that.
You have to be kidding. Loma is passing his Twilight years would you seriously take that fight if you were loma?

You take things personally and project that onto boxers. Loma or tank for that matter Don't have to explain nothing to nobody. Loma has had 10 times the career tank will ever have whether he fights again or not. You really think Shakur is chasing Loma? I don't know how you made that decision considering Shakur it's another one trying to massage a goose egg at the expense of fighting the best.

Do people actually believe this kind of nonsense? What rock has OP been living under? Conveniently forgot that Mayweather literally said Tank wasn't ready for Loma when Loma was prime? Tank been ducking all comers for years now? Fan fiction needs to at least have some resemblance to reality to be any good.
Creating narratives it's the new pastime... Now we have poor tank. Chasing Loma and chasing and chasing... And lomas latest excuse? He happens to be nearing 40 years old having fought above this weight for a good part of his career so he could get competitive fights. Poor tank!
So now it’s “smart moves” when it’s Loma. He should have to explain it when there’s a false narrative that came from his side and said Tanks was scared to fight him. Now that his promoter is ready to take the protection plan off, it’s “I’m not motivated” lol. But you’re right it was smart because he was going to leave boxing being a highlight reel knockout.
Let’s not forget he ducked Shakur. If he’s fighting at a less than ideal weight as u say, why didn’t he move down to fight Shakur at 130?

Frank Martin was the 4th best lightweight behind Tank Loma and Shakur, what advantage did he have? Ryan wanted to fight Tank who fights at 135, the rehydration clause was so he wouldn’t be 160 on fight night like he wanted to. He still gave him a catchweight instead of saying 135 or no fight.
Please don’t say Loma fights outside of his ideal weight. He’s fighting at his comfortable weight and never shows any sign of being too small. Rigondeaux was 37 and moved up 2 weight divisions to fight Loma. But now you’re saying Loma would be a fool to fight Tank and they’re in the same division?

I can already tell your penis size, little man. Can’t satisfy a woman so u get on boxing forums and talk like u wish diddy chose u.
And you gave a dumbass answer. Those fighters better than Rigondeaux? You’re top 5 dumbest on this website
Aww, the fat b!tch is inquiring eh? Knew your torta lookin a.ss was curious. Kepp them finger traps on pestosa.
Loma even said beating the smaller man was nothing to celebrate, which Ginger should ha e done after chasing Mell around the ring. Go ahead and make up whatever it is in that trampas.s head of yours, puta
Loma did want to fight Tank, but Tank's team said he was too young.
They didn't say they would wait till Loma was too old, but that is exactly what they did.
Gotta put it up your culo 1st big girl. Word on the net is your shi. t stank...got that reek of bad chitlins.
Ill give you more than 1 b!tch....
Linares, Pedraza, Crolla and Campbell.

thanks for clearing it all up for us, all loma had to do being the A side guy was make tank an offer and off we go, its so simple im shocked i never saw this before
The sarcasm was cute, but did Loma and Top Rank ever present the opportunity for them to fight!
If it was me I would put all Tank and Clenelo fans on the biggest crew ever and let them have fun for two days and then sink the da m n boat with a torpedo.
I said Loma never wanted to fight Tank. Loma was the A side, he would've had to be the one to make an offer. He never tried to fight Tank. Loma just fought Kambosos whos only a year older. Lets call a spade a spade. You white people just don't want to see Loma get knocked out.

So you're proud that Tank is ready for Loma now that he's old? That's something you should be embarrassed about.

You should put a gag in your mouth and fingers in those chinese things. This gotta be the dumbest **** a loma hater has said

Lamont Roach is a champion at 130. Lomas best win is against a 37yo Rigondeaux who was 2 divisions under and never fought at that weight again.

Loma never wanted to fight Tank then ducked him when Bob was ready to cash out. Nasty work. | BoxingScene Community
