Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis: Lomachenko Would Have to Be Pay-Per-View Fight

[Ogecca MaMa]

2019 spring should be decent time for a PPV show between these two. both can have few fights to build up their names. 80$ to enjoy full joy, I'm down.

Gonna be a better fight than people expect, for a 23 year old Davis does some things that guys much older do and it's subtle stuff!

I can see Loma outclassing him or outboxing Tank most of the fight and getting caught with something nasty!

Make it happen Bob and Floyd!

Reminds me of the road blocks floyd used to put up against pacquiao.. A classic move, but not an admiral one

new day, new excuse. But honestly, tank is just bringing to light in plain, obvious terms what all these modern north american boxers have been doing for decades ever since rjj and floyd gave the blueprint for how to be a ducker. Tank just isn't as skilled at lying about it as they are.

Look at ward. Wouldn't face kovalev or anyone dangerous until it was on ppv and kovalev was past prime.

look at canelo. Wouldn't face ggg until it was on ppv and ggg was old.

Look at mikey. Still not fighting anyone good, is just going to keep fighting b-level guys until he can get a ppv fight either at welterweight or against lomachenko at 135.

Heck, even lomachenko's team wants to wait until the mikey fight is ppv before making it, but the key difference is they are actually seeking out top names to beat in the meantime to actually grow loma into a ppv fighter. That's the step all these ducker hypejobs try to skip because they know they're not good enough to actually beat top names on the way to building a ppv fight, so instead they try to fake it. also, mikey is way bigger than loma, so yeah, if tank was willing to fight all the best guys his size or smaller (such as loma), but demanded it be ppv if he was going to fight errol spence, that would be totally fair and reasonable. That's what loma is doing (yes, mikey's size to loma's really is about the same as spence's compared to tank's. Look it up). But tank isn't doing that. He's saying, 'i have never fought a top opponent, and if you ever want me to, it has to be on ppv.'

which is just his latest excuse. All these al haymon duckers are ruining boxing!

lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Who is your #1 Pound-for-Pound? The last four opponents of his have been so thoroughly outclassed that they've retired on their stools. Rigo was the Ring's P4P #5 and ESPN's P4P #7. He was rated as the best defensive fighter in the sport, Lomachenko was rated #2. After that fight Loma became the #1 defensive fighter in the sport and still holds the highest plus-minus rating by a wide margin. He hasn't lost a round in four years and in 12 fights he'll have fought in three divisions. He's top 3 P4P on every major list; the Ring's, TBRB's, BoxRec's & ESPN's. He will beat Linares and if he looks even close to as dominant as he has over the last few years then he'll take the #1 spot probably on all of those lists.

Sor Rungvisai is the only guy with the best recent resume and he looks quite beatable (gets hit a lot) compared to Loma. He arguably lost to a smaller Gonzalez in their first fight and had a very competitive close fight with Estrada last time out. Crawford doesn't have a P4P guy on his resume yet. Loma and Sor Rungvisai do and GGG should have one as well with Canelo.

Crawford is number one for me but I understand your reasons for having loma as number one although I don’t rate the rigondeux win very highly for obvious reasons.

If he beats Linares I’ll have him as number one too although I think Jorge me shock him.

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

Lol hilarious!! Ppv - just say I don't want any of Loma!! UNDERCARD fighter demanding ppv $

[Chrismart]

That's undercard fights and 'Loma isn't a draw' to PPV quickly.

I wouldn't consider it a PPV fight, but it's a good fight and there's been worse PPV's to be fair.

[BrometheusBob.]

It would probably bomb on ppv but if it that's what it takes to make the fight then make it happen, Crawford vs Postol was ppv.

Guess you got a point there

[Bigg Rigg]

He wants to get paid well for that ass whooping
