Why is Tank "too young" for Loma and yet ginger wasn't for Floyd?

    Yeah it is simple Tank is Tank and Canelo is Canelo, why people think everybody is the same deal is just nuts, age has nothing to do with progression, they come on at their own rate and are developed along with that progression.

      How many fights has Lomachenko had? I'll give you a hint, he's had less fights than Davis

Or Rigo is they can agree on terms. Or Mikey. Loma gots bigger fights than Tank right now. So idk thats its a too young thing so much as there are better options for Loma & better options for Tank to grow into a guy that could have a big fight with Loma in another 18 months or so when Tank is legit #2 in the division (assuming he keeps winning).
        Good post.

        I don't think either will be at 130 in 18 months. I see Davis being at 135/140 by then. That's where I see their paths intersecting. Nice being a part of all the fun.

        Minus the low hanging fruit!

          Great observation. If this fight happens, it'll be in a few years, at 135/140. I expect Davis to move up after his next fight, or the one after.

            So what?

            If Loma is as good as ya'll claim you should understand why Tank needs a little more time.

            Either you secretly feel Loma is overrated

            Or

            You just want to see Davis at a disadvantage and lose.

            It's like nobody wants this fight to build because ya'll KNOW in the meantime Davis will become a serious force and a THREAT to your foreign hero

              Man I have a hard time seeing Tank getting to 140 & doing well. I think he's a short guy who looks "fluffy" lets say a week before & after a fight already, but yea 18mos is a long time with there already being talk of Loma moving up to fight Mikey at 135.

              But I'm hoping Tank stays at 130 for awhile whatever Loma does or doesn't do doe. I think he should become the main guy in the division if he can. And if Loma isn't there I think thats 100% attainable & maybe even if Loma is there, but thats a bigger question mark.

              Minus the low hanging fruit!
              Well I mean from Loma's POV he is. Loma is at a point where he should be nailing down his legacy & that means fighting guys like Rigo, Mikey, Berchelt & Corrales.

              Tank isn't on that level yet. No shame to Tank he just got on the level he's at.

                Not a few years man
                ........... a few fights.

                Tank is a special fighter....he doesn't need a few years to get ready for anybody...including Loma's OVERRATED ass.

                Mayweather knows what he has ....and SO DOES Bob ARUM.

                We're talking a mini-RJJ with a good night sleep in both hands.

                In a few more fights Loma will get called out HARD by Tank's team led by Floyd Mayweather..

                Just watch!

                  In a few fights? I hope so. I wouldn't object to it RIGHT NOW actually. My philosophy has always been, if you are a champ, you are ready for all. What I meant was, knowing Arum and Floyd, it doesn't seem likely too soon. So, it might happen much later. I like your scenario better though.

                      Look at this hypocrite.

                      Canelito didn't fight the best at 154..

                      Now did he???

                      I don't remember your demographic clamouring for Canelo vs Charlo or Andrade.

                      Ya'll were happy with Khan....Liam Smith and washed-up Kirkland.

                      A Canelito fan should refrain from any and all talk of fighting the best.
