    Yea Loma has much better footwork is the issue, Tank thou is a star in the making, lets just hope he doesn't pick up the arrogance from Floyd.

      gamboa is better than loma anyway and tank is fighting gamboa. gamboa beat salido who beat loma. those are facts people. loma may have the hype but hes easy pickings for a great like tank. tank is just waiting for loma to become more popular so he can tank down an easy mark. if he beat loma now he wouldnt even make that much.

        Floyd isn't protecting Tank. Floyd is stifling his growth and preventing him from sharpening his skills at a higher level. The talent is there but will it carry him along with his power in a big fight? We will see.

          My answer is yes, and if he can't beat Lomachenko, I'll donate 100,000 points to you.

              are you going to change your sig every time tank fights a bum? thast going to get annoying. who are you trying to fool? i dont even get it. gamboa is shot. everyone on here knows that. no point in wasting your time. this is one of those fights where you dont talk much about and hide your head in shame ex. ggg-rolls. you are taking the opposite approach and pretending gamboa is still good. thats a tough ask but god speed

                Tank has been ready for Loma for quite some time. It's up to him to now step, we know he has the power to change the momentum, but its up to him to actually make this fight happen. Lomachenko doesn't have much time left, another 2-3 years before it becomes clear that he is fading, I hope Tank doesn't wait that long.

                  I agree.

                  Gamboa even at 40 is good enough for Davis to test his boxing skills againt. I expect mostly pure boxing from Davis until he decides to finish him. I say 8 rounds.

                  It was either fight a boxer or a brawler, with skills, at 135. I expected Fortuna first but am good with Gamboa. Should be a great, high skills fight.

                  War Gervonta!

                    besides fonseca has tank ever fought someone who actually tried to box him? and tank looked quite bad in that fight and couldn't get the timing or rhythm down at all. i think they know something is up with tank. there is no explanation for such soft matchmaking. guys like haney and lopez are fighting much better comp already.

                      Do you rate Davis so highly? Who do you want him to fight next? Realistically. Serious question.
