    Agree with all that you said, I like Tank, except that he would beat Loma unless Loma just old.

    There is nothing Loma hasn't seen over his amateur career and with a few more good fights (not that **** his last and current fight is) he will have seen almost as much at pro.

    Tank is legit, but Loma would box circles around him.

    It would be a good fight, but you can't say that "Yea Tank will beat him in 5 years" unless we discover in the next few fights that Loma is chinny, which is not something that ever came to light from any footage or hearsay.
    Amateur means nothing when your facing an opponent who's got the tools to turn your lights off!

    Loma is great and sensational against guys who are undersized, rusty, and bums but I wonder what he'll do against someone younger than him, fresher than him, active can play the game of cat n mouse and as well turn on that killer instinct switch once his opponents are hurt!

    Bad news for Loma if he's never been hurt so he likely won't know what to do if Tank puts him on ***** street!

    Loma's best bet is to stay on the outside, no way he fights the way he's been fighting by staying in mid to close range against a kid who likely would be stronger and has the speed to catch him plus power to make him rethink his gameplan!

    I'm telling you, all that shifting he does and then ducking down won't work, Salido was catching Loma at times when he would duck down with left hooks!

    Loma is a good fighter but one thing is that the more Tank gets experience the better he'll get!

    It's no wonder he wants the fight now than later!
    One thing I like most bout the kid is that he fights very well out of a clinch, knows how to do a pull counter already and can punch while moving!

    We'll have to see then, I'm confident the fight eventually will happen!

      Amateur means nothing? How'd you come to that conclusion, it's your apprenticeship and he's been the best ever, look at his skill set compared with fighters who have 30 amateurs, chalk and cheese, so amateurs don't transition well but he has and he has clowned all his recent opponents, Floyd knows how good he is and Davis won't be let near him till he's at least 36-37

        Some of these guys would be best served just keeping their mouths shut.

        What he really means is the risk associated with a Lomachenko fight is only worth it for a truckload of money.

          I'm confident he will have absolutely no problems with bigger guys.......a lot is getting deducted from very few fights. He's fought two bigger men in Salido and Walters, Salido fight is bull**** and Walters everyone knows what happened.

          He has beat everyone, and don't bring in the Salido fight because that whole thing was nonsense and he still should have got the decision considering it was bull**** SD. There are just too many asterisks with that fight, but whatever.

          Tank should fight Walters, thats a good fight for him.

          Skill beats power.

            Of course he has no problem fighting bigger guys(unless it's Crawford or Mikey Garcia) cuz usually he's the faster man in there!

            He actually would be taller than Tank but definitely not stronger!

            He'll be fighting a guy who is bigger as far as weight but at the same time has the speed element to contend with which is what Salido and Walters didn't have!

            Loma needs to get out of Top Rematch if he wants a chance to be great cuz he'll be fighting no one till maybe next year!

            Tank vs Walters is a real good fight and I'd pick Tank by knockout in the 7th round!

            You have to understand for someone so young he does lots of things he shouldn't be doing at his age and yet he still can get better!

            I ask folks name me anyone at 130 or 135 that has the combined package and talent that Davis has and he's only 22 and I get crickets!

            Trust me, they will fight but likely it'll happen at 135, Loma needs to keep winning and gain more exposure!

            Hopefully he can unify with Corrales in the fall of this year or early next year!

                  No problem, I have no qualms with trolling for fun or going to war with words with folks on here!

                  I just try to have a balance and I know it's tough talking to people out here with real knowledge of the sport since most don't really care for boxing like they did in the 1930's!

                  Haymon and Bob have worked together but I agree, Not sure if Bob and Floyd can!

                  Only way it seems is if Loma brings lots of money to the table and exposure but it'll be tough for him to do that!

                  He's learning English which is very good but we'll see if putting him on ESPN will help his marketability!

                  Kudos to you sir for a great convo, enjoy your day!
