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.
