    "cant rush greatness" . Him and floyd are pretty much doing the whole thing were you protect a fighter and pad his record.
    Didn't Loma just fight someone two divisions lower? What's the problem with Crawford at 140? They have the same promoter too?

    You know why? Crawford would smoke him under 5 rounds.

    Davis needs more experience. It's the reality, not cowardice. I'll call him a coward if he's still talking the same after he's had 30 fights-- maybe late 2019 or sometime in 2020.

      Tank and Loma are in weird completely different situations. Loma is a step above everyone in the sport but not raking in that money. Tank is making good money fighting easy fights because he has a great style and is associated with Floyd. You got to be a complete nutt hugger to think Davis could win and a total hater to think it couldn’t be a big and maybe toss up fight in a few years. I don’t like to be a businessman for fighters who make me no money as a fan, but even as a fan of Loma, Davis isn’t a great scalp at this point. It’s a weird situation. On one hand you have to be a Floyd hater to demand this fight now, and at the same time you shouldn’t make excuses for a world title fighter to avoid another champion. It’s a weird situation and just points to Loma being special because Davis doesn’t have a team that wants this fight and in a way I can’t blame them.

        If he was fighting journeyman on undercards in his first 10-13 fights, sure.

        But he's a world champion - meaning he's at the pinnacle of the sport.

        Call it like it is - he's scared. Not literally "scared" in the sense a kid is scared of monsters, but scared of what Loma would do to his career.

        He don't want it. Plain and simple. Irrelevant - next.

          Breh, Loma is making more money than everyone except PPV stars.

          He's making 7-figures every fight.

          Guarantee he's making twice that of Davis.

          There's only a handful of non-PPV guys who are making it like Loma.

            Davis should avoid Loma for the rest of his career. Or until Lomachenko is 40 plus and ring walking with a walker. Or a wheelchair.

            Davis gets schooled to pieces against Lomachenko until then. No amount of waiting is gonna make Tank "ready" to a point where he can beat Lomachenko.

            It's just the truth. Tank a solid fighter. He's not special. Lomachenko is special. He's never going to be ready for Lomachenko.

              He knows that white boi would GET IN HIS ASS..

              He's a hoe cake.

              If you're a world champion, then you have no excuses to not be fighting other world champions.

                I don't blame Floyd at all. Tank would lose every second of every round. He'd get thoroughly embarrassed. If Floyd wants to extend Tank's aura he needs to build a myth around him and let him beat up on mid level and lower level guys for like the next 5 years.

                Let him fight Lomachenko anytime soon and Tank's aura, whatever that is right now, would be shattered into pieces.

                  Well, since you brought race into it, I saw a pattern emerging from white Eastern Euro boxers. They love their fighters small. Scared to move up and challenge themselves.

                  Loma is scared ****less of Crawford. He said he wanted to fight big fighters, but whenever I mention Crawford or Mikey (actually his size), people like you get angry and resort to insults.

                  Look at this pattern emerging from whites:

                  GGG: Brook/Canelo
                  Kovalev: Ward
                  Loma: Rigo

                  When will they grow balls and fight someone bigger or same size with elite skills?

                  Crawford is available, fight him!

                    The thing is, he's not waiting. He doesn't actually care at all. He's steering his career the way he sees fit. He's not obligated to fight Loma.

                      Obviously he doesnt have the same fire, he is already missing weight and catching ****** cases..Discipline is a real talent missing in a lot of these fighters these days
