I agree! I hate people calling out fighters they know they don't have the opportunity to fight, and not saying anything about the fighters they can fight! For example, Ryan Garcia is screaming Tank, but he's with GBP! Call out Lamont Roach Jr.! Call out Jo Jo Diaz! Call out Jorge Linares! You wanna hang out with Floyd, call out Tank, then why didn't you sign with Floyd? Same with Farmer! "I want Tank, I want Tank," but then he goes and signs with MatchRoom? Did that make it easier or harder to get Tank? Loma has 2 great options if Commey is not ready! Berchelt @ 130 or Teofimo Lopez @ 135! Make a decision and get money! If you wanted Tank and Mikey Garcia, why are you with Top Rank? Did he miss the whole past decade of pro boxing? Did he not know the history between Floyd, Mikey and Bob Arum? Doesn't make any $ense!

You do know that Loma signed with Top Rank WAYYY before Davis even became a champion right???
Same with Ryan Garcia....
For the record I think Davis beats Garcia but loses to Loma.

Everybody says that he is a unique talent. I do believe in that, but just cannot watch his fights. The only one I have watched was the last one versus Crolla, and it was good, but not incredible. The other one versus Salido I could watch only highlights, and didn't notice anything special. Perhaps just not my favorite style.

For all of the posters like good ole Ray, how is it deflection if Lopez is actually calling for the fight. Here is how silly you guys sound with the deflection talk....Davis is at 130 and not calling out Loma. Lopez is at 135 and calling out Loma. Loma is at 135 ignoring the guy at 135 promoted by his promoter, calling for a fight against Davis the 130 guy. Yet its deflection to say that the two 135 guys promoted by the same promoter should fight?

Fact: Ellerbe already said that Loma Davis isn't happening anytime soon. Call it ducking, call it marinating, call it getting Davis experience (or at least some consistency of fighting without out of the ring trouble). Call it what you want, they have been very clear. However, that does not stop Arum or Loma from bringing his name up. There should be nothing to deflect.

So Tank isn't fighting Loma because he's scared....but Loma's not fighting Lopez because of some logical reason other than being scared?

thats how boxing works, people big up their guys, its all about the hype and if u cant fully back it up you have nice judges to bail u out when u need it (coff coff not naming names here but we all know them)

and ellerbe please u got tank running scared and u talking bout a 21 yr old LMAO u should zip it !!!!

I'm sure you realize that Lopez is only 21 years old and Bob Arum is only protecting his investment,.... Lopez has potential to be a huge ppv star so why would Arum risk Lopez getting beat so early in his career?? Think about it??!

DAVIS is only 24 years old and ELLERBE is only protecting his investment,.... DAVIS has potential to be a huge ppv star so why would ELLERBE risk DAVIS getting beat so early in his career?? Think about it??!

Why doesn't it make sense when it comes to Davis. Even if they feel he'll win, there is still a risk he won't. Moreso because he doesn't fight often enough to be ready for a big fight like a Loma ppv.

You just not a boxing fan. It's all good. You watched only 2 fights? Pretty clear youre a casual. No shame in that

So you're saying that Loma fought a "featherfisted and blown up" Pedraza? Because that's one of two signature wins for him.

Hell no it's not. You are just a blatant Loma hater. First off, Loma had surgery for what for some pro athletes is a career ending injury in a torn rotator cuff. He then came back unusually early and fought Pedraza in a comeback fight. His signature wins are Russell Jr, Walters and Linares. Stop talking rubbish.
