    Why do people provoke Lomachenko?

    First Rigo comes outta no where talking **** on twitter where Loma warns him he is too small and should stay in his weight division. Now Floyd came outta no where saying Rigo vs Loma both fighters looked robotic whatever that means and Tank will KO him. Loma calls his bluff and Floyd now wants him to move up instead fight guys in his own division. Im not saying Lomas the one twitting i don't know but his team isn't afraid and Floyd in my opinion made Tank look worse. Tank talks **** about Farmer,Ryan Garcia,Devin but with Loma he just tweeted you "Can’t rush greatness baby" which is not a good look.

    cause loma is a rising star and his last fight just had 2 million viewers. people want to latch onto that and get publicity in any way possible. obviously floyd doesnt want tank to fight loma but any publicity is good publicity even if its ducking as floyd knows.

      Robotic to Floyd cuz Floyd is too elusive. He never said Tank would KO him.

        yeah floyd is so elusive slow maidana kept lighting him up. or how about prime floyd vs corley and judah? floyd never fought anyone like loma. his little brain would explode trying to figure out where loma was. hes used to straight forward slow fighters. built his career from figthing them. what a great fighter lmao

          Floyd has been doing this for years....
          You're upset because now Loma's getting criticized by Floyd? Get in line behind fands of every other successful fighter. It's nothing new.

            Why complain. Mayweather mentioning his name is free publicity. I bet Loma is loving it.

              Im not saying that but you don't think Davis looks bad now? He put his fighter in a situation where hes being blasted right now to fight Loma or respond but hes not.

                I don't buy into the Davis hype but I understand why they're taking him through the steps. He needs the experience. Fighters aren't born elite, they build those abilities. They'd do well to stop taunting Loma if they aren't going to fight him yet but, like I said, that's what Floyd does. To guys who aren't even near his weight class. Nothing new here.

                  Indeed, I don't see why Loma wouldn't take it as a compliment. Floyd despite being retired is still a much, much bigger name in boxing than Lomachenko.

                  Every call out/ mention further gets Lomachenko's name out there.
