    Oops, my bad, Canelo did fight Floyd @ 23, and we saw how that worked! The same way if Tank fought Loma now! He ain't ready, but neither was Loma when he was 23! Props to Canelo for taking that azz whoopin' early!

      Look. Tank is and has been very eligible to fight Loma for the past year. Once you reach championship caliber, all avenues are open. We have weight categories, but please stop trying to introduce and justify age categories now LOL. This angle of defense is making tank look even worse.

        Loma doesn't need Tank either. But this looks pretty bad, its like team Davis is admitting that they want nothing to do with Loma.

        Personally I don't care. Loma has a potential fight with Garcia on the horizon and Davis doesn't help his legacy much at this point.

          Why do you think so many people criticized Mayweather for fighting Canelo? Why do so many discredit Floyd's victory? It's not because of 2 lbs.! It's because Canelo was "GREEN" as ****! At 23, he had no business being put in there with Floyd! That was a money move by a coke-head promoter! It was NOT in Canelo's best interests!

            Why do you feel the need to make excuses for davis, for the last 2 weeks he was throwing lomas name around saying he was ready, now his fight is over hes not ready again, if he doesnt need loma then why is he using his name for publicity, lets face facts, davis is fluids litte biatch and following his blueprint of not fighfing anyone till theyre a geriatric

              I'm being sarcastic about Loma for a reason! If it's smart business on the part of Team Loma to keep him away from professional fighters until he was 25, why is Davis a "coward," "pu$$y," or "a duck," if Floyd or Cunningham want to keep Tank away from Loma at 23? Manny and Canelo turned pro early, and you know what? Canelo's 1st championship was @ 21, and Pacquiao's 1st was at 20, and Floyd was at 21. Tank's 1st was at 22. When was Loma's? Neither Floyd, Canelo, or Manny fought the ESPN #1 P4P fighter in the world at 23! Not one! If Tank is a b*tch for not being ready for Loma, then Loma is a bigger b*tch for not being ready for the pros until 25! You can't have it both ways!
              cept the reason loma got a big time promoter and a big american push is because of his amateur career. if he turned pro at 18 no one would know him and he wouldn't land a promoter or american interest. his amateur record was his ticket to the big time. there is a vast difference between turning pro as an american or mexican potential star and a ukranian. there isnt much infrastructure there to turn him into a star.

                  Yep, that's what Floyd did, he just fought old people! He's older than Pacquiao, Cotto, Hatton, Maidana, same age as Zab and Diego, but yeah...whatever! Loma called out Tank after he beat Rigo, and everyone killed Floyd when he said he wasn't ready! Now Floyd wants to use Loma's name and he's wrong?

                    I agree, BUT, if I were Loma's team, I'd go after Tank. Very winnable fight and it's a much better option than fighting Garcia. I think Mikey is a big risk and Loma would be better off avoiding that one.

                      How many Olympics did the Klitschko Bros. participate in? How about GGG? I'm not mad at Loma at all, but it's a double standard to call a 22 yr. old a duck for avoiding the ESPN #1 P4P fighter in the world, but applaud Loma for patiently developing his craft in the amateurs! Why do Americans get judged differently? Maybe because Mayweather, Tyson, Michael Moorer, and Ali, etc. made it seem so simple? Loma had a whole country behind him. That's a lot better than grinding in Baltimore! The amateur program in Ukraine, Russia, or Cuba is 100 times better than in the U.S.! It ain't easy doing what Tank is doing, but he makes it seem that way!
