    I mean the evidence of Lomachenko calling out Tank 7 years ago, and throughout the last 6 years, is public knowledge. It’s not like they are some top secret documents that need to be declassified. It is true that Tank waited all these years to finally say yes to Lomachenko. There are dozens of quotes straight from Tank and Mayweather’s mouth (or keyboard) saying no to the fight or “not now”, “soon”, “end of next year”. Every year, for 6 years.

    The excuse is pretty much Tank’s own fault, because it’s a real reason. And as a fan of Tank Davis, I can tell you the age excuse is way more valid than the excuse that Tank was too young and Lomachenko was too good, as that was the fear Mayweather had for his star fighter. Of the two fighters, Tank absolutely has the more pathetic excuse. It’s not even Lomachenko’s fault that Tank decided to make him wait until he’s 1 fight away from retirement. That’s Tank and his handlers own fault if he doesn’t get credit for the win.

    How much credit does Marciano get for beating a 37 year old ATG like Joe Louis? It’s generally a very forgettable win for obvious reasons. Even though some argue about Louis being a top HW, one of the best HW’s entering that fight. Age and being past prime trumps where he ranked as a HW at that moment.

    Edit: Looks the word t r u m p s was censored for whatever reason. Didn’t know that was a bad word.

      Truly a gem of a post here...

      Sometimes boxing fans can be ridiculous. They should be made to personally say certain things to fighters! For example, Telling Lewis he is ducking Vitalie because he decides to retire, after tacking on all commers for an entire reign and beating Vitalie... Or telling Lomo to go in their against Tank who is fighting him at a time when Tank has every physiological advantage...

        They’re really in here acting like Lomachenko being old at 36 is some wild excuse, and just conveniently forgetting that a prime Lomachenko was calling out a prime Tank for years. Boldly calling him out too. Not cryptically.

        Funnily enough, as a huge Mayweather fan, I recognize other Mayweather fans on here. The same guys arguing about Tank fighting an old Lomachenko are the same one’s who argue that it wasn’t Mayweather’s fault that Mosley and DLH decided to call him out when they were old and that Mayweather called them both out when they were all in their primes.

        You have to be consistent. Can’t just use a reason whenever the shoe fits and disregard it when you want.

        I consider myself a fair and consistent fan of the sport and what ever I apply to fighters I like, I apply to fighters i’m not that big of a fan of. Tank rejected Lomachenko for 6 years, like Mosley and DLH rejected Mayweather for 6-8 years. It wasn’t Mayweather’s fault they decided to get in their past their best. Just like it’s not Lomachenko’s fault that Tank finally grew the balls to fight him past his best.

        Likewise though, same guys sh/tting on Tank right now for chasing Loma after rejecting him for 6 years, argued that Mayweather cherrypicked old versions of Mosley and DLH. So basically boxingscene is one big circus of inconsistent fans with no integrity and no actual belief in what they’re debating. No credibility whatsoever. They say things based on skin color and culture.

          He’s saying Tank demanded 40+ million
          And yes Loma said there is no amount of money to get him in the ring
          He wants to do it his way

There is no more Middle class in NYC right now. We need to replace the Washington Elites with people who are not part of that establishment. Unless we want to give all our power away as citizens which is what is happening right now under BOTH parties.
            Yes yes yes is what they wanna hear
            Soon to go take a chit in your own home , you will need to make a phone call and they’ll ask is it #1 or #2
            And only then will they give you a time for you to go chit at
            Soon if chit keeps up , it will definitely be a governed state for everything and all
            Just like boxing , if you have a corner who are yes men , chit will hit the fan sooner than you know ( Wilder , AJ , Haney and the list goes on )

              Just like Tank , his fans duck facts
              Notice that they are some of the most idiotic posters on this board when you can google it and see it with your own eyes
              It just suits the agenda driven idiots to say Loma is ducking Tank

              Can’t make this chit up and mark my words one of these idiot will attack me and say that it’s not true or wtv when the info is all there and can’t be denied

                We have been conditioned over time to give our power away... Look at everything and it translates into these simple terms: Even down to how our biology is understood. A man could always say "I am a man, I can act with bravery, swag, and be there to protect..." Until that day when men are told they are intimidating others... and need to act like fem bots.

                When they can question biology itself the brain wash is almost complete. Making someone ashamed for defining biological reality... See how they can twist people up...

                Government gets as big as people let it. We need a rupture in the system... At this point in my life at 60, I have seen my parents generation waste virtually every vote on trying to elect the least hazardous candidate... Nothing has challenged the Washington Hegemony. B iden has been on the public dole along with S anders his entire life... Pelosi same... Talk about welfare cheats.

                      Fair point.

                      That would mean he is covering for Tank here by saying it is Loma that wants to take off the rest of the year.

                      Come on now El Mero. You don’t believe that do you?
