Comments Thread For: Lomachenko Has No Issue With Facing Davis, Haney or Lopez

Good point. Especially Rigo fight

and gary russell...those 2 guys are more skillful fighters than davis

no, davis would be the easiest for him. anybody who is shorter or doesn't have longer reach than loma would get outboxed.

if you look at loma's fights, the opponents who somewhat made it difficult are the ones who are taller with longer reach than him especially when they try to box him from outside with a good jab. loma has to get inside to land his punches/combinations.

Reach isn't that important when you are so multidimensional and one of the best range cutters in boxing. Go watch how Davis neutralizes opponents' reach and gets in range before opponents even know it. Look at his hard walk in right jab to the ribs. He can also jump at opponents cobra style.

Loma is gonna suffer some broken ribs.

War Davis!

So what? For once that's not a problem because Shakur is better than both of them. And he's bigger than Loma. That's a great matchup.

Shakur just might be but usually a promoter wants to pass the "baton" from his older star to his younger star just like he tried to do with PacMan and Bud.
Let's say Haney beats Loma while Loma is still perceived as being the goods and down the line, Shakur can't beat Haney. I doubt Bob would be too happy about this situation.

Time catches up to everyone. Loma is on his last leg in terms of prime and his body is already breaking down.

Almost after every recent fight, Loma breaks or tears something- 400 fights would do that to the body. That's what I'm talking about.

Bro, you do realize there's a reason Davis wants nothing to do with Loma right?

Davis WILL lose this fight. It doesn't diminish Davis. He's always going to be below Loma.

I respect your analysis, but I disagree. I never said Tank Davis was the perfect fighter to beat Lomachenko. Only that he would cause the most problems between those three. Remember, the discussion was strictly a comparison between Tank, Lopez, and Haney.

Ability wise, Lopez is a lesser version than Tank. Even worse is that he's shown mental weakness in his response to things not going his way. Let's not forget he damn near retired after the fight with the Japanese dude. He's only recently come out of hiding after a few months of silence. I could see Loma not only beating him, but discouraging him. This fight might be a case of Loma taking his soul. I don't see how you could have him performing better than Tank, but I'd love to hear it.

As far as Devin Haney goes, I'll admit, I don't think anywhere near as highly of him as most. I don't think he's a special talent. He's good, but Loma is just better at everything. He just is.

Tank isn't the boxer Loma is, but he at least brings real punching power and speed to the table, and I've seen Loma hurt before. I also think he has more dog in him then Lopez or Haney, and I don't see him packing it in the moment things get rough. I think Davis can get to Loma, and if he can get to him, he can hurt him. Loma likely beats all three, but Davis has the talent to worry him.

Lastly, I think using Rigo and Gary Russell as examples of why Loma would school Tank Davis doesn't work. Rigo wasn't just shorter, he was two weight classes smaller. That automatically disqualifies that comparison as Tank will be in the same weight class, and won't be knocked off balance by every jab Loma lands.

You also said, Gary Russell has more skills than Tank. How so? Russell has fast hands and the story ends there. He's not as explosive as Tank, but do tell about all these skills he possesses that Tank does not.

l0m0 got more balls to just talk about fighting Devin than his fans do

Let's see if Loma can prove you right. Why would Davis move so close to Loma if he's afraid, as you seem to suggest?

We'll just have to wait.

I agree with the bold and most of your analysis. The only thing is I see no way Loma comes close to beating Davis. Not in this lifetime.

Haney does have a potential.

Tank Davis is the only PPV fight Lomachenko will probably ever have. These other dudes are basically nobodies.

It's a shame Tanks team don't want any part of it
