    Hes 36 years old in the lighter weight classes. Its pretty much impossible for him to still be in his prime at this point. Yeah Tank should get some credit especially if he sparks him out, which he probably will, but hes not beating a prime Loma.

      Maybe he was too young and not ready, things in life are on a timeline of its own alignment is not always somebody scheming like fans always think, I feel like paranoia is so strong today in the average guy on the street, according to most somebody is always cheating, its like nobody is ever good enough on their own merit unless of course they are a fan of that guy, if not throw every bit of BS at them they can to lower anything they do.

        Prime is a slippery slope that's hard to nail down to a particular time, its a grey line that's wide, it can be one night if everything thing could be measured giving the best they will ever be, but with elite pros they operate in the 90% area of performance like clockwork for pretty much their whole career unless they go like Roy Jones, Floyd was 36 beating the brakes of Canelo , its not that old in modern elite athletes that look after themselves throughout their career.

        Reading Lomas current form its really good he is a real fight for any 130/5 guy in boxing right now.

          Loma is still very good but to say he hasn't slipped isn't realistic.

            Lomachenko has absolutely slipped. He gets hit more now, and more bruised up after fights.

            He sonned Haney because even his old past prime self is better than Haney. But he’s still old and past prime.

              No way you can say Loma hasn't slipped. The dude doesn't start moving until nearly the 2nd half of the fight and doesn't fight the full 3 minutes like he used to. This is expected as all fighters that past that 35 yr mark naturally do. While I still think he's competitive with the B and C level fighters. To take on strong A level fighters might be asking a bit much from him these days. I still think he would have stopped GKJ inside 4rds if he was younger and not let it go to 11. To me that's crazy.

                I agree. If they fight, it will be the best version that Tank is getting.
                No more excuses.

                  Stop it. If you're a champion then you should be facing other champions or #1 or 2 in division. If you're not ready for the top dogs in the division then don't fight for the title until you are ready it's that simple. That's y it's ****** when people say oh he's too young or was not ready. If that's the case don't fight for the title.

                    the tankettes needed worry, loma is still good and tank will get credit for a good win and if he stops him that would be impressive, dont worry it will be ok

                    all the other stuff can be argued about later, life is full of BUT BUTS, tankettes even use them as well
