    Before Tank moved up to 135 Lomachenko plan was to go back down to 130 and fight Berchelt or whatever champ Top Rank has down there. That's why he asked for the franchise tag. At the Lopez fight when they asked him who he wanted to fight after his fight with Lopez he called out Tank. So now he wants to stay at 135.

    Ryan Garcia said a fight with Haney could happen in 2021. But he's calling out Tank right now.

    Haney said after he's healed he's coming back for his WBC belt. But he just called out Tank next.

    You can keep denying he's a star but actions prove otherwise.
    Youre right. Loma has been chasing Tank and tanks been running

      I dont get the hype. Tank looked OK last night but look at who he was fighting. Plus he had a hurt fighter in front of him all night. Lets see him and Lopez go at it and see whats up.

      You have to admit Tank looked gassed last night against a guy thats been done for MANY years.

        If they want that payday and recognition they'll accept the terms or end up fighting behind YouTubers or overseas somewhere.

        Of course you don't get the hype. Stop listening to these old guys in boxing media trying to tell you what's cool. Boxing fans do not realize how out of touch they are with the mainstream. Almost a year ago I started hearing people who aren't boxing fans talking about Tank. That's why I've been trying to talk you all this kid is a star. But keep listening to these old guys.

          You have the wrong thread, man. It's not about how good a fighter is, it's about being ***** for somebody's popularity.

            You sound like a certain Britain fighters fan base. How about we protest for the best/champs to fight the best/champs. You sound like a promoter trying to protect their fighter.

              Did I say I didn't want to see Tank fight the best? I said they have to accept Tank's terms. You got everybody from 126-140 who will drop their next fight in order to fight him. And none of them are generating the buzz or money that Tank is. You got a guy who can go into Atlanta, not a boxing market, and sell tickets priced higher than NY and LA. He has his pick of who he wants to fight. And whomever in line that wants to accept his terms will get the fight. Same as Canelo

                The difference is, canelo is a much bigger star and he earned his stripes. I’m not sure why you’re so eager to anoint Davis as the next big star when he hasn’t proven anything. Used to be a time when someone had to prove something to get accolades...now people just say they’re something and it becomes so. He should just quit boxing and be a YouTube “influencer”.

                  Tank has nothing in common with Canelo.

                  Tank can only dream of doing what Canelo had done by 25. And if Tank dreamed it. He better wake up and apologize to Canelo for dreaming he was like him.

                  Fact is there are top dogs who want to fight tank but he ain’t trying to fight him for the fact he knows he’d get exposed.

                      Yeah, you kinda are. you sound like you're putting tanks terms ahead of great fights. If you're his nephew and you'll benefit from his money then i guess get you a new coat.

                      But otherwise I dont see what interest youd have in his terms.

                      You are laying down the blue print for fighters to dodge tough competition until they get popular enough to set terms to avoid tough competition
