    Stop....

    The rest are all talk and in it for the money, or street cred. Lomachenko would win this round robin easily, despite having the handicap of being a natural Featherweight, fighting out of his weight class. That’s a true measure of his greatness.

    Lopez looks like the real deal, but is a true Welterweight fighting at lightweight. Haney & Tank Davis are two entitlement fighters whose belts were handed to them. Unwilling to fight any top guys. No heart or work ethic. Garcia has potential and might be a poor man’s Oscar De La Hoya, but again has that entitlement mentality, although not as deeply rooted as Davis & Haney.

    Lomachenko will continue to be ducked, as the big three weight bullies of Haney, Lopez and Garcia will make excuses about moving up, while Tank is just a flat out coward.
    Stop with the Lomachenko is fighting out of his weight class when he fought at 132lbs in the amateurs! So, Lomachenko is being ducked by whom? When it comes to Haney, he could have fought Haney but his team asked for the Franchise title and then Lopez chose not to fight Haney to chase Lomachenko. So I don't know whom is ducking Lomachenko?

      By the way, all need to prove themselves, not just the lightweights.
      well great is subjective now isnt it? he's fought 4 top 5 guys and was supposed to fight a 5th before corona changed everything. meanwhile tank has never fought a top 5 guy so based on that loma is clearly willing to fight any of the top guys great or not while tank is not even willing to fight them even if they arent great. is tanks defining fight going to be vs unranked santa cruz? pathetic

        This division is such a disappointment.

        I thought it'd be easier for Loma to get good fights at this weight, but here we are.

        I guess guys are just gonna catcall him from afar and then wait until he gets old like they did with GGG.

        Tank definitely owes us to go out there and be more aggressive after he shxt the bed versus Gamboa
