Comments Thread For: Lomachenko: I Always Said I'm Open For Gervonta Davis Fight, But You Know Boxing Politics

[Sctrojan]

Mayweather and Tank running away from Loma, is not politics, plain and simple, just being scared, chicken sh** more like it.

Lomachenko isn't the type of dude to say "tank n his daddy may are scared ****less of me" so It's probably loma being cordial about. But yea,nothing political about it. If Bob and Al were willing to work out a Wilder/Fury fight then there should be no reason they cant/couldn't come together for this one. When Tank is on record having a meltdown proclaiming Mayweather is trying to get him beat there's little left for interpretation on reasons why this fight hasn't happened.

Again, Lomachenko could have fought Teofimo without dropping the belt.

And then the winner could have given Haney his deserved mandatory shot.

But that didn't happen because of boxing politics.

ok - but Loma didn’t duck Haney, he fought took the tougher fight against Lopez to try and unify the titles.

It's the honest truth. Tank Davis and Floyd Mayweather don't want the Lomachenko fight. Bad look, I'm embarrassed for them.

But at the same time Lomachenko's team dropped the WBC belt rather than have Devin Haney hanging around as the mandatory. So if you want to talk about boxing politics don't forget to bring up that little incident too.

But Lomachenko brought up boxing politics...while being completely oblivious to how he himself was involved in boxing politics.

So many fans of business decisions on this forum. Where the fk are the real boxing fans who want to see the best fight the best? Sad excuse for boxing "fans"

I lost respect for Loma as a competitor when he said he would not go up to 140 lbs to avenge his loss vs Teofimo. I get he is already small for 135, but it's only 5 more lbs, and even to welterweight where the big fights are, it's only 12 more lbs. How many fighters in history have gone to whatever weight they needed to go to to erase the loss on their record?

A few years ago, Michael Montero, who seems to have inside contacts with the camps of a lot of these fighters, was saying Loma could eventually fight Josh Taylor at 140 lbs in Scotland. Taylor is welterweight size! He is way bigger than Teofimo! And that is the matchup fans want to see! Best vs best! So how come back then, when Loma had put on less muscle, 140 was an option, but not now? Disappointing. Some boxers today talk such a big game, about fighting for legacy, but then they make excuses not to take the biggest legacy fights. Nothing Loma can do at 135 can create the same legacy as him doing it at 140 or 147.

why not just skip those and go right to 160 for a fight with GGG or fk it 175 and fight Canelo at LHW

I was shocked that TR took Stevenson vs. Herring to ATL!

you and me both. They learned from Al. I surprised arum would have to learn this since he comes from the Ali days

Al need to take a page from Arum! He needs to start putting shows in Kissimmee/Orlando! PBC has a lot of Cubans, Dominicans, and Floridians in the stable!

Not after he saw all those fans at Tanks fight. You see how espn incorporated rap music into the show?

espn surely told him to tweak his shows to attract fans that frequently attend pbc shows.

if Loma fights stank davis it would be a repeat of Loma vs gary russell
