    Am I the only one who thinks Loma boxes circles around Tank?

    Everyone very dismissive of Loma after a narrow loss but I think he's still got the beating of everyone from 135 down and I think he'd hold his own at 140 too.

    He got massively overrated by the Eastern euro fans here.. I get it. But its gone too far the other way now

      Tank VS Loma would be a great fight. Two of the very best fighters at 135 lbs. I think that would be an elite matchup.

        Loma should be correctly favored in this one. Can’t see Tank winning besides a huge bomb landing.

          No, but I think you're wrong.

          Lomachenko isn't unhittable and is getting up there in years. Could see him collecting the early rounds before getting hurt in the 7th and stopped in latter rounds.

            Lol you know perfectly well you aren't alone in this view. This is a great fight with the intrigue of Davis' equalizing power. All the hypothetical horsemen matchups (+ Loma/Shakur) are great honestly, even though I can't stand most of them personality wise.

              Agreed. I wanted to see this since 2017. If we are talking PPV, this is the ONLY worthy fight at lightweight. If it never happens, screw the promoters.

                It always amazes me how often fans think the big shot lands, when more often than not, it doesn't

                  Of course is a possibility, but I think he's been hit a lot by longer/taller fighters who can also punch. Tank is a similar stature I think knocking Loma out is a tall order
