Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis' Trainer: Tank Doesn't Need Loma To Be a Star

[BLACK KNOT]

As usual, you let your racism infect a decent debate because you've run out of ideas on how to mask what your real point is. Never once did I post or imply he was being protected.

Pedrazza and walsh are solid opponents for a fighter like Tank at this stage of his career. he clearly isn't scared of Loma, Floyd/Tank are going to make the fight when Tank has the best chance to win, not now when he doesn't.

You want the fight now because it is 90/10 type fight in favor of Loma rather than have it down the road when its 60/40 type fight in favor of Loma and would be much closer and more entertaining.

you want the fight to be made when lomacheko is old and past his best giving davis his best chance to win. lomachenko is already 30 years old. how old does he have to be 40? you davis fans have absolutely no confidence in him its a shame

Journeyman Salido did. Davis wouldn't need more than 5 rounds for some bum the caliber of Salido.

salido is far from a journeyman. that statement shows you know nothing about boxing. who was stank fighting in his second pro fight you clown

I think she was trying to say "Vagina" but it came out "Gervonta"

Interesting theory. "Vagina Davis" sounds like a cross between a famous actress and the next date for Oscar De La Hoya's crazy fantasies.

I'll stick with Gervonta for now.

So, based on this, what's the name she misspelled according to you? I'm still curious.

It is an anagram of Orange T.V. and Vote Gran. I'm not sure that brings us any closer to solving the mystery though. Perhaps someone should ask him.

Not sure he really knows. He's a fine fighter, but doesn't sound too bright in interviews.

lol vagina davis is perfect. davis turns into a complete vagina when he hears lomachenko's name.

tanks is better. golovkin was moved far too slow and hes paid the price cause hes scrapping for big fights at the age of 36.

I agree, Tank's is better. So maybe Floyd is doing the right thing with Tank and maybe Tank will make the same type of leap GGG did.

No matter where you see Tank as a fighter, Loma wasn't fighting pros at this age. It is completely unfair how you judge how Tank is being built given his resume is better through 20 fights than someone you see as a top 3 p4p boxer right now.

Circling back to our discussion, Loma was in the beginning of his athletic prime at 26 when he lost to Salido. Tank is 3 years from the start of his athletic prime. when Tank is 26 he should definitely be fighting Salido level fighters.

There is no reason 23 yr old Davis through 20 fights should be fighting prime 30 yr old Loma right now when he hasn't even fought a top 5 130lber other than you wanting him to take a huge risk you would NEVER ask anyone you liked to take.

Yes. I've posted that dozens of times. What is wrong with that?

Since when is it wrong to want a fight between guys closer in level?

I, nor any other poster, has posted the fight should take place in 10 years. That is you overexaggerating because you know my point is completely fair.

The fight probably happens in a year or so, after Loma fights Manny.

Literally 100 different posters have explained why they are not fighting now-because Tank has little or no chance to win.

No one is suggesting Tank fight all bums to stay undefeated. Posters are suggesting he keep stepping up in comp. However, that isn't good enough for you because, again, you just want to see Loma win an easy fight over a Floyd promoted guy.

What is interesting is to watch you and others go from wanting to see "the best fight the best" to now wanting to see a 90/10 fight. Yet if Tank were to fight a 90/10 fight, you'd have a fit.

Loma didn't take a risk by fighting Salido, he was the favorite. He just was unprepared for the type of violent, brawling assault and dirty tactics from a much bigger man given his lack of pro experience. It was the equivalent of Broner/Maidana.

a cherrypick gone wrong is the term you and others use.

No he isn't. He is #2. How about he fight #1, Crawford, after he fights Manny?

That would be a fight he wouldn't be favored in and a huge step up in comp for Loma. he'd be much smaller as well. It would be a 75/25 fight in favor of Crawford.

You probably don't want to see that doe. I wonder why????

You can be the favorite and a fight still be a risk. A 2nd pro fight after you've fought one pro bout that went four rounds against a 50-60 fight veteran champion is a risk no matter how it's sliced.

Wilder was favored fairly wide over Ortiz it was considered a risk, Joshua was favored over Klit it was considered a risk. That's two recent examples.

I think Loma-Linares is somewhat of a risk too going straight to the #1 lightweight who holds a size advantage.

you think a year will make a difference? davis still gets schooled. you know the fight won't happen a year from now either if ever. when loma moves up to 140 will davis follow? davis is a tiny midget even for 130.
