Why does Loma get more credit for winning a UD over Campbell (Gold medal winner) than Tank does for stopping Gamboa (Gold medal winner)?

      A whole slew of fighters left GB to go to PBC. It had nothing to do with Rigo

        Gamboa was ~13 years older than Davis, past his prime, smaller guy who had lots of injuries. Tank was expected to win the fight comfortably
        Loma vs Luke fight was much more competitive due to both in prime, Loma is smaller guy on every record with 3 or 4 fight in this weight, which we all know he is strangling due to obvious reasons.

        If you wanted to trash Loma you should have picked Rigo fight, where Rigo was older and weighted 5-6 pounds less(had reach advantage btw). But no one is giving Loma much props for wining it due to Rigo moving to 130, though I would say Loma never used his weight to win it, and outmaneuvered rigo till no mas
        So you're saying Gamboa was a has been? Luke Campbell was a "never been". Why should Loma get more credit for beating a never been than Tank for stopping a has been? Both gold medalists. Gamboa actually had the better pro career if we're being honest

        Tank started his career at 126. I would say Leo is actually bigger than Rigo.

        Leo pressed for a fight with Tank as did Rigo with Loma

        Same everything across the board except we all know who gets hated more

          Gamboa was unranked (I think)
          I'm pretty sure Gamboa was a mandatory

            I remember one guy was hyping Germaine Ortiz after Loma "beat" him, while crapping on Tank Davis

            How do you hype Ortiz but call Davis a bum?

            Make it make sense

              One guy was 38. The other guy was 31.

              One was prime. One was washed.

              With that said being said, neither win is a top 5 win for either of them

                How am I supposed to respond when I can't understand what you're saying? If you're gonna slurp Loma at least be coherent.

                    Campbell was in a better place in his career than Gamboa.

                      Hmmm, makes no sense that ANYONE would think beating a man with a torn Achilles was impressive. Any of todays young girls would have quit the second they injured it.
                      Gamboa was also FAR PAST HIS PRIME. He was fighting a few weight classes above his TRUE fighting weight. He hadn’t looked good in years at that time. Should have retired years ago. He was once a damn good fighter.
