Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis: Lomachenko Fight Will Happen, But At Right Time

[Yaconcha]

Floyd is in the top ten highest paid but not thee highest.
Jordan,tiger woods,Bryant,Schumacher,Nicklaus etc all above fmj but, I wouldnt moan about being mega rich.

[Yaconcha]

Forgot to say, it will be Floyd vs manny again, give Lima some more years and then grab it but, I believe somebody will undo Davis before that.

Translation: The fight will happened when Loma shows signs of more decline.

Puzzy ass mayweather promotions and all his fighters.

Davis will retire 60 and 0. Fighting bums.

The right time meaning...

... When Lomachenko is 38 years old. I like how they say that Lomachenko is fighting Tank's leftovers.... and that Tank did not need the Olympics or 300 amateur fights to do better against Pedraza ( implying he is more skilled, now than Loma has ever been) ... but when it comes to actually fighting the man, himself.... "Oh Tank is young and is not ready for that fight." Which is it? Is he better than Lomachenko who is "fighting his leftovers," or not? Gervonta won't even touch Lomachenko's former opponents. He won't fight Salido, Rigondeaux, or any of the like. Pedraza is quite literally the only common opponent they have had, despite being in the same weight class for as long as they were. Furthermore, if Lomachenko is old and needs to rush through, then would that not be an advantage to Gervonta Davis
NOW and even more-so in the future? This is becoming Golovkin / Canelo, all over again.

To everyone ripping Tank's level of opponent and praising Loma's, you do remember that at 24 Loma was still beating up little kids in headgear, right? You want to talk about moving slowly, Loma waited until he was freakin 25 to finally turn pro. Let's have a little perspective here folks.

What a joke. The fight will happen in 5-6 years when loma is getting old. Terrible. Hes the only TMT boxer who has potential. Ha what a joke

The great Crolla is definitely on the radar! Would we see another epic struggle with Crolla too?

It's a mandatory, of course it's on the radar. They were going to fight an unification then the mandatory. Commey is now out with Injury.

You think he should skip his mandatory and be stripped?

Of course. He should fight all-time greats like Tank, Spence, Charlo's do every fight. Maybe Loma should step up and fight these middleweight behemoths like Ruiz and Cuellar and only then will he get respect.

They weren't struggles really. Linares, somewhat. It was his first fight at 135 and his arm popped in two rounds. Pedraza? He won 10 or 11 rounds, controlled the whole thing and made Pedraza miss all night. Not remotely a struggle. I don't think Linares is a "bum", he's had a good career, gotten some good wins and has accomplished more than Davis and gotten to #1 in more divisions than Davis (i.e more than 0).

Crolla is a "good fighter" yes. An elite or great one? No chance. Just because a fighter isn't a legend or a personal favorite doesn't make him a "bum". Like I said, Crolla is more accomplished than Davis and if both retired today he'd rank higher based on his career. Probably because he's stepped up more often. Tank is living off that Pedraza win. That's his Buster Douglas moment but there's far more depth to Crolla's resume - Perez, Barosso for example are bigger wins than Tank's and even the scalps like Yordan, Burns add a bit more depth making his overall resume superior to Tank's or Pedraza's or Ruiz', of course.

Lomachenko-Crolla is a crap fight. It's a mandatory that's likely to be next because Commey pulled out. It's far better than anything Tank has fought in the last 2 years or will face in the next year. He's a lightweight at least. It will be dominant but to get mad at a mandatory that's happening because a champ got injured is a bit extreme. You'd sing a different tune if Tank fought him.

Tank by your own admission and you're a huge fan of him, has never fought anything more than C level and then D level guys. It's a bit rich to criticize proven boxers who've accomplished far more, gotten to #1 in multiple divisions, often fight with men their size or bigger and it's a bit sad that Tank continues to talk trash but openly admits he doesn't want to fight the dude.

You do realize when Loma was Tank's age, he was still fighting 3-rounders in headgear, right? He didn't even turn pro until he was 25 because he said he wanted to be fully matured first. Now that is being protected and brought along slowly.
