Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis Trainer is Eager for Lomachenko Showdown: 'We Waitin' on That Fight'

[4truth]

Davis is waitin on a whole lotta fights. If it’s a worthwhile fight, he’s waitin on it.

Loma is the new pacquiao, they all waiting for him to get old while everyone around him ducks each other.. this is welterweight allover again

It seem to become the trend once Floyd ascended the throne as "the PPV star" so u can simply call it the Floyd model. That said, even Floyd wasn't this bad with his selective matchmaking. Tank just refuses to fight anybody of note, Devin Haney seem like he's always posturing, Ryan Garcia aint worth a damn, Crawford, Spence, 160 pound Charlo etc..list goes on. Guys fight one good fight and then they feel they deserve 4 or 5 more light touches or go on self imposed hiatus and come back screaming get back fight.Truly shameful esp in an era where they only fight once or twice a year.

Froid is his papa, what do you expect..
froid even opens his mouth so tank doesnt have to

Yeah right..... Tank management team has no intention of fighting Loma in the near future.

Davis/Pbc/Floyd too scared to risk that 0!!!!!!!! At least they honest and come clean now stating Davis was steered away from Loma. Keep the B-level Hispanic fighters with average or below power coming for Davis…next ppv mismatch - hype job Romero.

Romero is so bad he don't even have hype. Tank fighting a straight up bum if that fight happens

Mayweather will not allow his kid to go anywhere near good fighters before they get old.

The trainer may want to communicate that to the promoter because they sure as heck haven't tried to make the fight. I really like Tank but it's ridiculous that he's almost thirty and still hasn't been in a " big " fight.
Honestly , I'm pretty disgusted with the whole sport because of the lack of competitive big fights. It's a damned shame , especially when you consider how many extremely talented fighters we have active right now . I'm 53 and a lifelong fan, boxing is the only sport that I've ever followed. I've never seen so many potentially huge fights and potentially great fighters in the sport all at the same time. This could be a real Golden Era for boxing but the promoters and fighters are letting it slip away. What a disappointment.

Thing is, how do we know they are such great fighters if they don’t fight each other, it’s all triangle theories.

Wow! You are such a pessimist when it comes to putting down Chicano and Latino fighters.

am Hispanic and not putting down any fighter - just pointing out the obvious as far as the prefered overmatched Hispanic opponent for Davis and his ppv mismatches.

I wlways think about Mayweather's very caustous venture into lightweight, after beeing a very successful 130 lb champ..He picked, not a good lt weight challenger, but133 lb Emmanuel, Burton on a few weeks notice, with 15--16 losses., who, if he'c had any kind of a punch, could have won

Agree with your criticism of Floyd’s business strategy, the ol’ wait-until-he’s-in-a-wheelchair plan.

The future Emmanuel Augustus got a walloping in that fight. Out of respect, Floyd would praise him for years as his toughest opponent, and it’s still a fun fight to replay. But with blood coming out of his ears, it was a good showing by the likable Augustus yet far from enough; he typically came up short against top talent, lacking as you say power and also leading an exhausting life as a road warrior who’d get jobbed in decisions in town after town.

His best days were ahead, actually, when he morphed into the Drunken Master, and made such great entertainment as a fringe star and gatekeeper on the old FNF on ESPN.
