    He will not fight anybody dangerous, that is why he doesn`t fight. he already fought all bellow average guys.
    They could be doing what Canelo and Oscar did to Golovkin, wait him out till he's old and has no big money fights available. Wait Loma out until he needs that big payday and then try to bonus Loma to play soft on Tank. There is no doubt this is what Canelo did to Golovkin, for all three fights. GGG made a lot of money but he had to pay a price for it. I believe this is why he has quit the sport without any dignified farewell. A part of him hates the corruption and fraud of the business. He would have killed Canelo all three times if he was allowed.

    Floyd and Haymon are trying to preserve Tank's value to be able to call the shots like Canelo, as a money maker with all the leverage. But ducking Haney took a big bite out of Tank's value and credibility. Everybody in the world knows Tank's MO now and he obscenely ducked Devin Haney.

      With the disappearance of Showtime, one would expect that everyone in the PBC stable would be kept on the shelf for longer than usual until they sorted everything out in their new platform.

      It's not only Abdul Wahid, by the way, there's lots of them that are expected to take long layoffs. Charlo brothers, Wilder, Spence, Crawford, Ennis, Frank Martin, etc. Not one among them is complaining, so...

        No. If they claim the Baltimore Munchkin is the face of boxing, then they would get him out there and maximize revenues and promotional plans. But ducking Haney destroyed the munchkin's value and credibility. The truth is he's a duck coward pretender. His only way out is to fight Haney next.

          I have no theory. I watch his fights on Youtube. They're entertaining is all I can say.

          It's general knowledge that he's following the Floyd Mayweather formula.

              Yes, all his "fights" are rigged for him to win. Flat out "wins managed in advance" as Jim Lampley put it. Tanks a phony pretender masquerading as a belt holder. It's all smoke and mirrors until he fights Loma Haney Lopez or Stevenson.

                Those fights are far from happening. I'd be more curious on who he will fight next inside his own PBC quarters. Nobody even dare to hazard a guess. Not a peep. That's in on itself is disappointing.

                  They seemed to be pushing the Isaac Cruz rematch but that was heavily rejected. Now Mr Turki just made a push yesterday to match Munchkin Davis vs Haney in SA. Even told Haymon to contact him. Turki also said in an interview he is not a Mayweather fan. So Mr. Turki could be the one to finally bring down Haymon. Because if Haymon and Floyd duck Haney even with the Saudi money being thrown at them, then the truth will be known universally - Haymon, Floyd and Munchkin Davis are flagrant cowards.

                    Is that why Loma is waiting until May to fight Kambosos?

                      Kambosos would be tied for the 2nd highest ranked opponent Davis has ever fought in his entire career. Kambosos is ranked 7th right now in the lightweight division. Davis has beaten a #6 and a #7 and never faced anyone ranked higher than that in the division he fought them in.
