    You know that Bob loves in house fights. Crawford will cry that he can't get an opponent but they are just waiting for the winner of that fight.

      no one ever said tank was too small for loma....and in reality no one said he was too young either...what people said was that it was still early enough in tanks career and age that not taking the fight ASAP made some sense

      tank could very well become a broner though..too big for the current weight class but maybe too small to truly move up and be really good....we dont know yet

      but its similar to people talking about him ry, haney and teo....and people expecting/wanting them to all fight each other right now...i get it...it would be cool...we all want it....but its not realisitic....tank is 26, haney is like 21, garcia 22?, and teo 23.....those fights can still be there down the line after these guys have built themselves into bigger attractions..it makes little or no sense to those guys to all fight each other now....it only makes sense to fans with no skin in the game......what good is haney vs tank now when 2-3 years from now it could be worth much more....what good is ryan vs tank when 3-4 years from now it can be worth 20x?

      tank has been building his profile...hes sold 12k in seats in two different cities..headlined plenty of cards including his own ppv......if loma had beaten teo a fight with between loma and tank this year or next would be worth more than if he had fought him 2 years ago.....just like a teo/tank fight a year or two from now will be worth 5-10x more for them

      some of you clowns dont know how to think like someone other than a fan wanting all the fights to happen when you want them.....no one said tank was too small.....you made that up.....some said he should wait loma out a bit and build his profile to make his side worth more....because thats what most sensible 24 year olds do.....think about how many people were clowning on teo and saying "oh he scared he wants out....teo is trying to price himself out because he knows loma will ruin his career" when teo held out for more money? right?!?! of course you saw that and remember that......teo needed to take the chance or else it was going to be a long, slower, road to stardom......tank knew haymon was going to build him and had a plan to build him into a ppv fighter at 26......so fighting loma at the age teo did made no sense....teo took the gamble because he knew stardom was a slower route with arum

        Lmfao your so emotional. You really typed out a life story defending tank for avoiding lomachenko.



        ATLANTA – Gervonta Davis should’ve made an important move Saturday night toward securing one of the most anticipated showdowns in boxing. By winning the WBA’s world lightweight title, Davis should’ve become the mandatory challenger for that sanctioning organization’s “super” lightweight champion, Vasiliy Lomachenko. Baltimore’s Davis already was the WBA’s No. 1 challenger for Lomachenko’s championship, one spot ahead of second-ranked Yuriorkis Gamboa, whom Davis stopped in the 12th round at State Farm Arena.


        stank ducked loma. Also lopez got less than what he originally wanted.

        Lmao it was gonna be a long and slow road to stardom for lopez? He just got paid millions to fight his easy mandatory. Its fine if your a fangirl just admit it

            If he actually pushes for a Progais fight I will change my mind that he's another Broner, but until then I think he's just gonna fight Barrios because that's the easiest fight at 140.

              He has to attach a future credible name at 140 to deflect from the fact he"ll be fighting a journeman in barrios for a meaningless belt and a hallow "3 division champ" status. After a run of dragging up shot fighters,some of you guys actually believe they're going to throw him in with Regis?? Come on now lol

                  How can you be chasing greatness when you haven't fought a great fighter?

                      and Jesus I thought his insane fans on here were trolls until I looked at his Twitter feed.
                      I remembered when he “wanted” Josh Taylor and said he was calling Al NOW........
