    Tank should have and still should pursue the Lomachenko fight.

    Haney wants the Lomachenko fight.

    This isn't hard.

      So you're going to pretend that Tank's fans weren't pressing a double standard when he was ducking Loma? They said he was too young, even though he was a title holder. Haney is even younger, but none of the Davis fans are saying Haney is too young.

      I'll spare you the suffering of having to hurt your brain figuring this out...deep down they know that Tank is a hype job and Haney is looking more and more like the real deal.

        Do you think Haney genuinely wants the Loma fight?

        I think he’s calling Loma out to raise his profile, I think deep down he knows the fight isn’t realistic for at least another 6-12 months.

          I think both should be amateurs until they're 26.

          Gervonta and Haney fans want their fighters protected and brought along correctly. Loma fans want him to smash some green propsects who will probably go on to do great things.

          I'd rather see Lomachenko go to 140. I don't think anybody at 135 beats him. Nor 130. At least the size problem might make for competition at 140. More competition than 2 green prospects.

          No reason to throw Tank and Haney to the flames.

            Haney is still only fighting stiffs like Abdullaev bro, he’s undoubtedly talented but Tank has far more credible wins. It’s unfair to label Tank a hype job and call Haney the “real deal” based on their careers thus far.

            Personally, I rate both of them tbh.

              Tank has far more quality wins? A weight drained Pedraza is his best win. When I watch each of them fight, I see a way more complete boxer in Haney. Mark my words, Tank will never fight Haney, Loma, Commey or any other live dog so long as they are at their best.

                Weight drained or not, Pedraza is far better than anyone Haney has been in the ring with. Even guys like Liam Walsh would beat Abdullaev pretty easily tbh.

                I’m not hating on Haney whatsoever, he’s only 20 and I really rate the kid. I am looking forward to watching him in bigger and better fights, were we’ll find out just how talented he is. I just don’t see how you can call Tank a hype job whilst hyping Haney for beating lesser opposition.

                  Pedraza fought at that weight since before Gervonta was a pro. Idk how you can consider him to be weight drained lol.

                  Lomachenko was dropping rounds to 40 year old chinese guys in 3 rounders when he was these guys' age.

                    You're going to pretend like there are some Lomachenko fans for some reason that don't want the Haney fight to happen and keep saying he needs to prove himself? Yet, Tank had already proved himself when they were calling for the fight?

                    Actually I will spare you and agenda that you always push.

                    Once again, this isn't hard. Tank and his team should have been pursuing the Lomachenko fight. Their fighter wasn't going to get embarrassed and would have and still will compete with him. No shame in getting a loss from Lomachenko.

                    Haney is doing what Tank should have done and is going right after Lomachenko. But apparently that rubs people the wrong way and he is not "worthy" of the fight.

                      Yes, I do think he wants the fight. What has he done or shown that he doesn't want the fight? I mean if he "doesn't" want the fight, then easy, call his bluff when it is time.
