Comments Thread For: Former Opponent Impressed By Gervonta Davis Improvements

[MulaKO]

Of couse Tank won't admit it, I believe but 5 years ago he understood he wasn't ready for Loma. Quite frankly it would've been an embarrassing defeat. I know the public and Loma wanted that fight but Tank just physically and mentally prepared for that level of pressure. Regarding Pac vs Floyd ppl seem to forget that, for years Pac refused VADA testing. He was vehemently accused of doping and his refusal to be tested added fuel to the speculation. Look how many fighters have been busted for cheating from Margarita to Ryan Garcia. Why would Mayweather agree to fight a guy 5 years earlier that's accused of juicing and refused to undergo testing? Pac claimed his refusal to be tested was based on his religious beliefs - yeah, ok

Funny enough only pictures of Floyd appeared with an IV stuck to his arm

Once Tank beat Lomachenko everyone will say that he was past his prime and won’t give Tank the credit he deserves as an elite boxer…Happens every time

Deserved in this case if he gets a win over Loma though. He's been swerving him for 5 years and then takes the challenge when Loma is already half spent

It happens every time that elite, B-Side fighters like Lomachenko are waited out (Golovkin) and/or take a loss or two (Loma and Kovalev). Massive props to Teofimo Lopez for NOT waiting out Loma.

Loma is past his best. Why do you think Davis is all of a sudden willing to face him after years of ducking the guy? Don't pretend otherwise.

Maybe ask your fighters to not wait until they're aged out if it happens every time. That's one way to solve it. But facing them earlier is not something they want to get involved with. That tells you right there and then who they think wins the fight at that point. They age them out for a reason.

Bring on the Saudi League - no more waiting out fighters - best vs best - take a loss - no big deal - as per MMA

Too right mate. They are offended by his dominance and being the face of American boxing. Some folk just cannot overcome how they were raised

the guy is regularly called a generational talent with unique skills now & he hasnt fought any of the top guys in his division & yet in fantasy fights he beats top guys of decades gone by, he is dominating lower level guys as lots of guys have done in the past as well actually, if u are not allowed to comment on that then might as well just shut the site down i would say

SMH TBH because reading this thread you would think Tank was Calzaghe or worse. He's beaten Pedraza, Isaac Cruz, Frank Martin & Ryan Garcia. Now, 3 of those guys are legit, OK, Ryan not so much, but Ryan is a big puncher if nothing else. In terms of fights he should've had there is a lot of blindsight going on. A lot of those fights just were never on the table. Should Lomachenko rate higher than Tank? Probably. Could Tank have fought better opponents? Almost certainly, but, like every professional boxer he wants to get paid. He wasn't exactly going to turn down, say, LSC was he? Is Tank an overrated toerag who cherry-picks easy fights? IMO, definitely not.

After all that , still no Loma
Tank says definitely not

We know how good Gervonta is, we don't need you trying to make yourself better because you got knock the F U K out by him we already know!

Once Loma beats Tank, they'll say Tank was never really a good boxer, that he only took sure things, that Loma still ain't no good. Why you think Tank has run from Lona since both were at 130?
