Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis' Trainer on Fighting Ryan Garcia, Lomachenko: "It's Gonna Happen!"

[Rebelrbg]

If it's so easy, why hasn't he fought them? And why did he resign with Floyd when Floyd already said he was only going to fight in-house fighters. They are laughing all the way to the bank. Just like Deontay Wilder was exposed the first time he fought a real opponent, the same will happen to Tank. There's a reason he is only fighting stiffs.

The difference between Wilder and Tank is that Tank has been boxing since he was 7, and he also had a great amateur career. Wilder started boxing at 18 because he needed the money for his daughter's surgery for a spinal disease that she was born with. Wilder only fought a few amateur fights before turning pro because he needed the money. There is no exposing Tank because he has real boxing skills, footwork, movement, sets traps, attacks from angles, great athleticism, ring IQ, and thunderous power. There are many at 135 that possess some of these qualities, but none possess Tank's power.

It’s Loma’s fault that fight hasn’t happened. He has the best promoter in boxing and the biggest sports network in the United States behind him and he’s made no attempt whatsoever to try and make a fight with Tank. Loma’s supposed to be the superior fighter and Top Rank is the superior promotion company. The pressure should be on them to make the fight.

Lol..Davis the “A” side and Pbc is the biggest promotion company in boxing today. Floyds famous statement “Tank aint ready for Loma yet” …not until Loma 40.

Tank's contract was up....he could have gotten a superior payday (like Crawford) with a superior fighter on the biggest sports network in the United States but Tank chose not to.

Instead, Tank, just like Garcia, talks a big fight that they have no intention of ever fighting.

you must be a casual fan…Riigo, Walters, Russell, were all top rated and undefeated when Loma beat them…with Rigo and Walter quitting on their stools. And Salido was a former legit Champion - knocking out Juanma twice. Also fought Mikey Garcia for his belt - far from a “bum”. Thats why Floyd wouldn’t let Davis anywhere near Loma and still wont til Loma is 40.

Rigo, Walters, and Russell were all 126 lbers that stepped in weight up for the check. The same reason no one give credit to Tank for knocking out Leo Santa Cruz. There is nothing casual about me, I have been an avid boxing fan for over 35 years. I also have watched every televised Loma, Haney, Garcia, and Davis fight. There is a big difference between Tank and the others.

Did you just start watching boxing last week?

Nope, watched probably longer than you have been alive, and I can see that Tank is a greater talent than the other at 135.

Same level - Lol! Rigo(top p4p at the time), Grj, Walters - all undefeated champions when Loma beat them

All 126 lbers fighting a much bigger guy for the money

I said best promoter. I never said biggest. Loma’s supposed to be the better fighter so why does he get a pass? There’s never been an offer for Tank or Floyd to duck or even turn down. And saying I want the fight isn’t the same as making an offer. Loma should be held to a higher standard than Tank Davis.

no one is questioning Davis skills, which are elite. Its his weak resume full of B-level pillow-fisted Hispanic fighters he continues to CHOOSE to fight. Old past fighters like Gamboa, Lsc…Barrios, Cruz, Rolly with 14 fights. Just wont risk that 0. Even the analysts/commentators on his own network - Showtime - are questioning Davis level of competition. Sad - Davis prime is going to waste.

Everyone is elite until they fight someone with a pulse.

Tank has held a mandatory position several times in several weight classes, and never enforced it. Why? Those regular belts are supposed to lead to a fight with the champion. All he had to do was enforce it. Floyd is on record saying he only wants Tank to fight in house fighters.

Enforce it and fight who? Loma was the champ. He should be able to point and say I want him. When you’re the better fighter you should be held to a higher standard.

I'd like to see those elite skills put to the test. He's been a belt holder for how long? Even the announcers on his own platform are questioning why he hasn't fought anybody.
