    There's a reason Tank avoids talking about Loma and why he wasn't happy about Floyd suggesting they fight.

    If even he knows it, then there is a pretty serious gap between them.

        Every fighter has their specific weakness. It could just be a certain style, their chin, conditioning, or power.

        Floyds weaknes was strong pressure fighters like Maidana and busy fighters with good jabs and length like Oscar, from what i have seen.

        James Toney"s weakness was his eating habits dedication and hiding his flaws with over confidence.

        Tyson was mentally weak and hid this with intimidation and being a crazy bully, but if you push and attack him and make him fight, just like Evander did, you will make him fight ****** and frustrated.

        My take on Loma is he doesn't like inside rough fighters like Chavez and other Mexican style Ricky Hatton fighters and folds under extreme hardship and pressure, if he's relaxed and in control he's perfect, but you chase him, making him fight inside he's toast and will lose again.

          Has he even lost a round since that fight?

          You think he folded under pressure vs salido?...at the end of the fight it was Lomachenko almost knocking Salido out...not the other way around. He has found an answer and that trick will not work again against him believe me. First time going 12 and he learned on the job. If you cant see he has improved alot since then idk what to tell you....

            If something like that happened again, you would have to consider it but as you said, it was Salido who was being pummeled at the end of that fight.

              He actually adapted against Salido and had Salido out on his feet and hanging on at the end despite having an unfair weight advantage.

              People trying to re-write history and put that as a massacre. Loma probably deserved the W and the ref should have taken 2 or 3 points too.

                  This is not a fight to be rushed, and it won't be.

                    Davis isn’t there yet. But he does have intriguing potential. Sky is the limit if he stays focused. Love him working with Cunningham.

                      It's not 50-50 at all but it could be competitive in my opinion. I think Davis' mentality is the big variable..... he can have his moments but how does he respond to Lomachenko's moments of dominance in the fight. Other than Salido, GRJ is the only guy that I didn't see visibly give up or stop trying. I don't know, it's not crazy to think Tank could make a fight out of it but honestly it would almost be an "upset" for Lomachenko to not dominate.
