Bob wants the Davis fight for Loma not Haney next

[The Big Dunn]

He went on thaboxingvoice and said if Loma wins against the winner of Lopez/Commey they will see if Davis is ready. He wants that fight next for him. Says Haney doesn't have the experience for Loma. He says let Haney fight a Campbell or Pedraza first to see how he handels them. Imo i get what Bob is saying it was the same with Lopez he didnt want to make that fight before Lopez fought somebody because we dont know if Lopez is real or not and now Lopez is fighting Commey for a chance at Loma. Imo Bob just wants the bigger fight financially.

Imo that's the fight to make. Its been building up for a while and that would be ppv.

Haney may not have experience, but he is a true LW where Tank is a FW that moved up to LW. Haney has the reach, height, weight, size, speed and athleticism over Loma. Tank does not.\

If styles make fights, then Haney is the toughest style for Loma to deal with at LW while Tank would not be.

Additionally, the Tank fight would generate far more money than the Haney fight.

IDK man, Tanks been struggling with the weight for a bit I think and the kid may be short but he is kinda built like a... well y'know...

And honestly right now I think Tank's got the better shot at a win too, even though I can see what you're saying about Devin being more of a problem stylistically. Right now I think Devin could make it competitive, but I ain't seeing enough from him to think he could actually win the most rounds, Tank OTOH always has his lethal finishing to fall back on, even if he's outboxed for most of the fight.

I'm quibbling TBH though, Loma fights either of these two young guns I'll be very happy.

Yeah Tank hits hard and has talent, no doubt. I just don't think he can keep Loma from getting inside where Haney can fight from the outside and move to prevent that from happening.

I don't think Haney is the "boogieman to beat Loma". Loma would be favored to win in either fight but IMO I see Haney giving him a harder time than Tank purely from a style standpoint. I do agree that Tank could pull a late KO out with his power but I doubt it. Loma's defense is smart and his father seems to pick up on what the opponent like to do and instructs Loma how to address it.

Agreed, either fight would be fine for us as fans.

Haney is okay. I'm not seeing all this hype inside the ring. To my eyes, he isn't even very good, needs more experience. Height and reach don't win fights.

Loma can't handle Davis on the inside. Davis is a body specialist, strong as an ox, heavyhanded, and loves when people get inside. If Loma infights Davis, he has no chance.

As I have been saying for over 3 years, this fight is happening next year (2020).

Davis KO Loma.

That makes sense to me. Davis is a much better fighter. He brings in more money. He has beaten better fighters and he is more proven and respected. Haney really has not beaten anybody very good. He doesn't deserve the fight with Loma ahead of Tank. If Tank turns the fight down and Haney beats somebody near the top then give Haney a fight with Loma then. Loma will get around to all deserving challengers but like most big stars he fights twice a year and he can't fight them all in the same year.

Please explain how Tank deserves a fight with Loma ahead of Haney at LW when Tank has never fought a LW fight and Haney is undefeated at LW and won an eliminator to be the mandatory contender?

I agree with you Tank has better name value on his resume and would bring more money, but to say he deserves a LW title fight ahead of Haney is not being fair.

tank vs loma is a good fight right now

in 2-3 years it might be a big one

bob always said "I want to wait till spence/Crawford is as big as possible".......well why wouldn't you want that for tank/loma?

[BoxingIsGreat]

Some phrases that describe Davis:

Best body puncher in boxing (Canelo 2nd)
KO artist
Granite chin (never saw the canvas)
Multidimensional and stylish
Highly skilled and polished
Heavyhanded (his opponents say every punch is debilitating)
Mean and vicious inside the ring (doesn't play around, every punch is thrown with evil intentions)

I can go on and on. This guy is more than ready.

[BoxingIsGreat]

I'm honestly not sure if Haney can beat cans like Campbell and Linares first.

How long would that bum he fought last remain in the ring with Davis? Half a round? 1? Davis would be crucified if he fought someone like that.

In two to three years, Loma won't be around, maybe Davis as well (maybe 4). Loma isn't even in his prime anymore now and his body is breaking down.

It's now or never. In two years, this fight won't be competitive.
