Floyd was cherrypicking vicariously through Tank Davis.

Floyd was cherrypicking vicariously through Tank Davis.

When people accused Floyd of "cherrypicking" he was still fighting dudes like Mosley, Maidana, Berto, Ortiz, Guerrero, DLH, Marquez, Pacquiao, Cotto, Hatton, Canelo, Judah, and Gatti.

Tank has never fought anyone as good as the worst name on that list. He's only faced 3 fighters ranked in the top 10 of the division he was facing them in at the time of the fight, and 0 fighters in the top 5.

just follow the latino blueprint, pick up your cheque, bide your time & then strike, it works

You’re a smart fan, you know you can win a fight without power.

He didn’t “ take the tougher fight”. His promoter had him primarily fighting in house guys, same as he did with all his LW’s, unless it was an easy mark like Crolla.

All comers, except for Haney.

Yes he’s called out Tank many times. Tank hasn’t responded because Floyd knows tank is the bigger draw and he’s going to delay until it’s best for Tank. That doesn’t justify dropping the belt.

Now you’re either playing dumb or not paying attention. Loma got upset by Teo and had a tough one against Linares- opponents with longer reach who he took a while to get inside where he could dominate.

Haney can box off the back foot, move laterally, thus being able to keep Loma off him. He’s also much bigger at 135 than Loma is since he is a true LW.

You can think what you wish but you are also a longtime knowledgeable fan- if AruM and his matchmakers didn’t have him make the defense when he could ( this an easy payday) that signals they know the attributes could cause problems.

any top fighter can cause “Loma” problems at 135 because he will always be giving up the size advantage. Linares gave him problems but he Ko’d him anyway. Haney was hanging on for dear life - lunging and putting a man-hug on Linares to survive. Loma has fought skilled boxers before in Grj and Rigo…dont see Haney beating Loma. And Davis…him being the the “bigger draw” has nothing to do with him not fighting Loma. Per Floyd himself in the past - “ Tank aint ready for Loma yet”. One Davis team members recently came out and said “Davis was purposely steered away from Loma”. Floyd must be waiting for Loma to reach 40. Davis will continue to waste his prime fighting b-level Hispanic fighters in ppv mismatches…just too scared to risk that 0!

Tank WANTS Kambosos!

Mayweather don't want to put the money up for it and PBC is not working with DiBella while Tank have to deal with Fans Backlash. I do think he should indeed break off on his own and be allowed to have his GTD Promotions and get himself a Network Deal just like Mayweather did and Mayweather should 100% Respect it since that is his "Blueprint" Right?

GTD Promotions with Tank, Calvin Ford and Barry Hunter working together under one Banner and them signing up and showcasing Baltimore Fighters like Truck Simpson, Mia Ellis and others could be a HUGE Success!

Huh? He dominated 9 rounds, got caught, and won.

He brought Rigo up 2 weights and he has a longer reach than Russell, who couldn’t keep him off and didn’t have the movement to avoid him. He’s also much better than Russell.

Yes he probably is.He isnt too scared, it’s just business. If you think Tank is too scared then you can see why o think Loma is same of Haney.

[LA_2_Vegas]

Some of these promoters are acting like these fighters didn't just lose 1-2 yrs of the prime of their careers.

They tried/trying to came back to "business as usual" and fans aren't wasting their time with that anymore. We lost time too

One of either Pitbull or Romero would have probably been OK, but not both.

That said, every fight has its challenges, so he will have to focus on Romero just the same. Dude is raw af, eye sore and an ear sore, but he looks physically strong for this weight.

”He brought Rigo up 2 weights “ Hilariously WRONG!! Get the facts correct - Rigo called Loma out and challenged him at that weight..not the other way around. You make Haney out to be this great fighter who the former #1 p4p Loma would hesitate to fight. Kambosos is going to fight him, nobody scared to fight Haney. And Tank’s record speaks for itself - especially his last 5 opponents. Yea it’s business, but you think at some point he would want to challenge himself at least ONCE and dare to be great. He not even recognized on any p4p list because his resume is so piss poor.

Stop. He called him out well below that. Yes he brought him up 2 weight classes.

You have a hard time discussing the things Loma has done openly.

I didn’t act anyway. I have the reasons why I thought he could upset loma. I literally posted upset clearly showing I know Loma would be the favorite. So stop that.

Tank’s resume is fine. Yes he needs to fight one of the other top LW’s. He KO’d Linares before Loma did. Cruz was ranked right behind Kambosis. He was a solid opponent, as was Barrios.

But you and others that don’t like Tank, Floyd, Haymon and/ or pbc pretend otherwise.

If Tank was with DAZN or TR, none of you would badmouth his opposition in this way.

[Outwest Exp 355]

Loma not big enough? Now thats some hilarious *****!! Wont happen anyway…like Pbc/Floyd admitted - They steered Davis away from Loma. And are still steering him in the opposite direction and lining up endless B-level Hispanic fighters in ppv mismatches. Wont be ready for Loma until he hits his 40s.

He’s not big enough for a cross promotion event. If one network had the fight it could be a very lucrative fight but with both networks it hasn’t even been discussed. Neither side hasn’t even thrown out a number that it would take.
