    Bob has Loma avoiding Shakur now. Bob got Loma the emeritus ranking to delay the Haney fight. Bob didn’t have Loma Walters @ 126 when they were the 2 best FW’s in the world. Kept Walters on the shelf for a year, moved Loma up to 130, gave him fights there then made the Walters fight.

    Yet everyone is talking about Tank not fighting him.

    Looks like Tank is being moved to his benefit same way Loma was.

    He definitely could’ve fought Loma since he is the money man in the division.

    If I was Tank, I’d tell Bob make Shakur v Loma first and then I will fight the winner.
    Top prospect green fighters that have not reached their peak are moved carefully all of the time. And the haters are outraged when they don't face a seasoned guy who can beat them, ala Tank vs Loma. Then you have seasoned vets who avoid younger standouts too, ala Canelo vs Benny. But his nut huggers defend him tooth and nail. Everyone does what's in their best interest.

      Tank didn't fight any of the top guys at 135, it's not just a Loma thing. This is the fight I want to see though, 2 of the most exciting small fighters in boxing.

      Shakur, not so much. Add to that Loma would need to beat Shakur half to death to get the decision. Loma / Haney 2.0

        If it happens this year, i’d say better late than never. If it happens next year, i’d say way too late.
        Why do you hide behind a black or white mentality? 7 years ago was too early, I agree, but what about 3 years ago? 2 years ago?

          Why didn’t Loma make the fight then? He had TR and ESPN backing him so what’s his excuse?

              If I blame the fighter, that will just have his fans blame Bob so I just cut out the middle man.

                He ALWAYS seems to have conditions. Haney beat Loma. Tank almost 30 and his best win is weight drained Garcia. Dude fighting some Bum again. Got a gift against Pitbull.

                    It could have not happened when he was still with Floyd Mayweather.
                    Tank could have tried to make it happen as soon as he became a free agent.

                      A fighter still at the peak of his powers vs a young contender still in development.

                      Sometimes the Veteran wins, and sometimes the young lion.
