        His English isn't terrible either, if he immersed himself it would probably improve fairly quickly, but I get the feeling thats not really his priority, he always talks about his boxing legacy not money or fame.

        If he improved a bit more, so he can understand questions and at give least fairly coherent responses he should be fine, the broken English may even endear him to people.

        Like Khabib in MMA and his "send location" phrase, the memes write themselves.
        Excellent perspective and points.

          Too bad it is true in the USA.
          Ideally, a fighter's performance in the ring should be the main marketing tool.
          But money is made from casuals in this sport. Fighters need to speak, to be interviewed for casuals to notice them.

              YDKSAB which is a Mayweather phrase dumb dumb. Manny wasn't selling back then and was losing fights and getting knocked out. Floyd was the one doing everything you just said not Manny.

                Tank Davis is not even close to a household name my friend but keep dreaming. Theres almost no boxers at all that are household names never mind Tank Davis.
                Yeah hate. All big name Boxers are household names for their group in America silly. He's. just fine being a household name here for ours.

                  Yep but he had a story behind him plus he scored numerous upsets. He had the right opponents to take him to stardom but Loma doesnt really have that.

                  I dont see Loma turning into a superstar.

                    Your persistent hate for Black American fighters is strange.
                    I think you have a different opinion of what constitutes being a household name...almost 0 active boxers are legitimate household names, and tank Davis is 100% not one of them.
