      Davis is the only boxer capable of beating Loma. 100 percent no doubt in my mind. Just give him one more year
      experience with much better competition. Remember these words.

          Loma looking vulnerable at times definitely helps the chances of the fight getting made. I think Tank is going to wait until Loma unifies to gice it a crack. That way theres a huge upside that mitigates the risk involved. Tank is also fighting a lesser calibre of opponents which translates to less wear and tear. While Loma seems to be above fighting his natural weight and his body doesn't seem to be holding up as well. It could back fire on Tank though because a lesser caliber of opponent could also keep him from being as prepared as he could be. As they say iron sharpens iron.

            Lomachenko only looks like hes "struggling" when hes fighting guys with a huge reach/weight advantage. The reality though is that he isnt. Guy still dominated the likes of Linares/Pedraza/Campbell who themselves are the top fighters in the division and huge compared to himself.

            Yeah the fights were competitive but theres a huge difference between competitive and close. The fight was not close at all.

            Pedraza lost to tank because unlike when he fought Lomachenko he came to **** with Tank. Watch the fights and from the opening bell you could see a very obvious difference.

            Imo. Lomachenko takes tank pretty easily. Tank might have the power but lacks the other advantages people who "trouble" lomachenko have. Where Tank is weak is mentally. That will be his biggest weakness.

            Punchers chance at best. No chance to win by decision.

            Against tank Lomachenko would be fighting someone his size

              Now that Tank is moving up , mark my words it will be two years before he fights Loma
              His excuse will be that he needs to get adapted to the weight and what not
              Meanwhile Loma gets older and more shopworn

                  I'm not putting Loma down. You could see he is small in there and not at his best weight. I'm just saying that if weren't for the perceived vulnerabilities when fighting bigger guys and the huge upside to become lineal without doing the work mitigating the risk that I don't think Tank would take the fight.
