Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: Tank Davis-Vasiliy Lomachenko Talks Could Begin This Week

[BlackRobb]

November-December gives Bob time to go lick the Saudis' baws. Money hungry Bob is always happy when he doesn't have to foot the bill.

Quit with the pre-built excuses already - Lomachenko has plenty left.

Has absolutely massacred a game Kambosis and looked sharp and hell doing it. Usyk is younger than Loma.

This is going to be a great ****ing fight.

Kambosos is your barometer???

The fraud stops very soon. In a year or two fraud behaviour like this will be a thing of the past.

Can you imagine what would happen in the UFC if a number 1 contender refuses to fight a champion because he had a bigger fan base? Lmao

When "everyone" agrees a fraud is a fraud it stops, when its a varied opinion from fans sitting in the bleachers it will go on forever.

Arum is so petty! Shakur has to be extra salty behind this! Not only does he not get Navarette, nor does he get Loma, but now he’s working to get Loma a fight with Tank? That’s foul! Shakur, it’s time to go!

[Bronx2245]

As good as Vadilly has been, his best days are behind him and Tank would handle him without too much difficulty once he figures him out. Not a great matchup. Better match, Tank vs Teo because Teo fights to the level of his opponent and only had problems with movers. Teo won’t need to go looking for Tank which makes for an interesting fight.

Tank vs. Teo, or Shakur, is better than Tank vs. 36-year old Lomachenko! Tank is wack for pursuing Loma now, instead of the man that beat Loma! If Tank thinks Teo is too big, then fight WBC Champion Shakur Stevenson, who is IN HIS PRIME!!!

I agree. BX, you know damn well that Shakur is salty af! Most of the issue in my opinion, is that Shakur is coming up to the end of his contract with TR. TR is historically known for using promising fights to keep a fighter on board with them. In my opinion, I feel like Shakur needs to get the hell away from TR just for this reason. They did Bradley the same way, plus many others. It’s the most obvious way for them to keep Grade A-B fighters from leaving, which is dead wrong.

I think Tank wins it, he is sharp and in his prime, but I still want to see this fight made even if Loma is over the hill.

But for everyone, what does it mean for boxing if Lomachenko wins? Where does it put him? Is Tank's resume solid enough to make this an ATG win for Lomachenko in case he turns back the clock? And if Tank wins, is Lomachenko still game enough for it to be the career defining win for Tank? Or has Lomachenko depreciated too much after losing to Teofimo (albeit while not in good physical shape), and unfairly losing to Haney?

I think too many Tank fanatics which are Loma haters will be saying he lost fairly to Haney, but that just devalues Tank's win over Loma. Honestly resume wise I think Loma has more to win from this than Tank...

4-5 years ago if this fight gets made it determines which of these 2 gets put alongside Canelo, Bud, Monster and Usyk as the greatest P4P of this era.

exactly..Davis and Pbc didnt want anything to do with a PRIME Lomancheko!!! Had to protect that 0 ala Wilder for years and years.

i understand the "protective custody" that most all fighters use these days, but if they fight it will at least allow them to be in the same ring while they are still both professional fighters. if G.Davis is what some believe he is a protected manufactured PPV fighter who avoids the challenges then this will help to some degree to allowing a fighter Lomo who can keep away from punches and stay strong till the later rounds and prove himself to be more of a boxer then G.Davis. Yea but it is a big " If " with G.Davis he might find someone with a name who is less of a challenge and then go in that direction. But Bod would not lead us on ..............right ?

[Damn Wicked]

This is a GREAT fight. Yes, Loma is passed his best but him and Tank are 2 of the best fighters in their division and all of boxing. Both are great fighters and the 2 of them are among the most exciting fighters in the sport! It's an interesting matchup.

Win or lose Loma will probably double his career earnings by fighting Tank.
