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

[just the facts]

Tanks the youngest 24 year old in the world

If tank Davis were Caucasian, you'd be creating post after post about how great he is.

Crazy isn't it mate. He really has no choice regarding Crolla.

I've just stuck that poster on my ignore list to be honest mate. I've only got a several names on there, but I come on here less these days, so can't be bothered having back and forths with angry super fans when I am on here.

My post he quoted wasn't even negative towards Davis like he took it. I said they're on different roads and at different places right now, which I believe is true. Davis will keep mentioning Loma, but he's not really looking to fight him.

I said he's not on Loma's radar, which I think is totally true.
Loma's not looking at Davis. Him and Arum seem to have their plan set up for unification in the division he fights in.
Crolla has put himself on that radar by becoming mandatory. That's boxing and how it is. Is Loma supposed to skip his mandatory and give up his belt? Obviously it's not a great fight, but it is what it is.

Judging by earlier posts, said poster has a problem with mandatories, but is ok with Davis fighting the kickboxer that Mayweather recently faced..as it will 'raise his profile and make him money'.

Yeah, it's tough to justify Davis' awful list of opponents and then fighting a flyweight kick boxer whilst tearing down an already unified champion at every chance for fulfilling a mandatory vs. a top 5 contender and superior resume to anybody Tank ever fought without doubt. That's fanboyism right there.

I remember he was trying to hype Cueller as some special win never mind that Cueller hadn't fought in about 18 months, was moving up in weight and coming off a dominant loss.

I have around 20 users on ignore but I think I'm going to be policing it better this week and probably get that number closer to 50. There's too much crap on here and hardly any boxing insight.

Floyd fought HOF fighters and kept his 0. Tank is using the Vlad approved GGG model of beating bum after bum to keep his 0.

HUGE difference.

I think vlad literally fought every single guy in his division while champion. Name 1 person he ducked or dodged? I'm not a fan of his fighting style but don't start making sh 1t up to fit your narrative.

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.

Great reply

the Klitschko's fought every available guy when at the top. wladimir was brought along slower than vitali, however when at the top he took on everyone.
also who was GGG ducking? the guy was heavily avoided trying to get a title shot.

The right time = When Loma turns 36 LOL what a bunch of vaginas TMT promotion is

Didnt a 23 year old Canelo fight an old 36 year old Floyd and people till this day keep saying Canelo was too young and green.

[D4thincarnation]

you can't compare Floyd was the older of him and pac Floyd would have smoked him when he was faster and sharper in 2010 which is why he tried to make the fight but Pac didn't want none of it or shall we just adjust history to fit the narrative because of the hate for floyd?

and as for cherry picks name a few fighters with a better resume than Mayweather from the past 10 or so years

sure floyd could have fought a couple of tougher fights in his career but to disregard his whole resume as cherry picks is just hatred

Six years of ducking and is no doing it with is own fighter and you are still in denial.

Floyd did the same with Cotto and Mosley too

I wonder if Tank is going to take any fake retirements?

In other words he’s gonna duck LOMA while he’s in his prime.

[whoseyourdaddy]

Tank can beat Loma 50/50. Tank should be at 135 in his next fight! Tank talked sense but need mental toughness. Floyd should spar with Tank to make him the new face of boxing. Beat Loma, Mikey, Pac!

Tank is not beating Loma any time soon, and he and his team knows that. Wasn't Tank talking shït a week ago, about fighting Loma? what happened to all that bravado? now that he has no opponent in line (no excuse to duck) now he becomes a humble guy. The least he could do to stop embarrassing himself, is stop calling Lomachenko out prior to every one of his fights.

Het Gervonta, that was your promoter’s cue line. (Didn’t we here that b4 in Floyd Pac annual buildup?) let’s see how many years this one will take.
