    We don't even need to bring up your garbage argument against Moorer/Foreman so let's stick to Tank here. Now going after Farmer is him going after the weakest link? Huh? That's the fight fans have been killing him the most for not taking aside from Lomachenko. Tank and Farmer have been going back and forth for like two years now. The fight needs to happen period.
    going back and forth for a long time doesn't mean farmer is some top level guy. being a champ for a long time doesnt mean farmer is some elite guy. artur grigorian had like 17 defenses how great was he? who has farmer beaten exactly? people complain about crolla for loma but dear god his resume is much better than farmers. farmer is an easy mark for which davis will get more credit than he deserves for beating. thats why he should fight him and then fight some real good fighters after that. the fact that he is not fighting farmer doesnt suddenly make farmer good. it makes davis' reluctance to fight farmer puzzling.

            Do you consider that trinket Loma won from Pedraza legit? That's the guy Davis destroyed when Davis was 21 or 22.

            Loma's resume is crap for his age and hype.

                Loma lost to an Uber driver. Keep dreaming about his level. His resume is crap as well. He's fighting two of Linares' leftovers consecutively. Linares is a C grade bum.

                    Flawed logic. Pedraza was draining himself to make weight versus Tank. He also said Loma was the better of the two he fought.

                    Using your logic, I guess Omar Figueroa is better than Floyd and Danny since he was able to stop Guerrero inside the distance and they couldn’t.

                      Shakur? Why are you bringing him up? And you think TR let's him fight Tank even if that fight was possible? Get real, TR moves their prospects and young fighters better than anyone. They aren't putting Shakur in with Tank any time soon.

                      If you think that's the only reason he is calling out Farmer then I don't know what to tell you. Those two have been going back and forth for a while now and it is ideal for that fight to take place next.
                      Of course TR will try to match him against Tank. Arum is always seeking out top opponents for his fighters but no one wants to get in with Bud, Loma, and Shakur will be the next ducked fighter across multiple weight classes.

                      Did you see Farmer’s interview last night. He basically threw shade at a fight with Tank. He doesn’t want it.
