Is it strange that 21 year old Teofimo is calling out Loma but not 24 yr old Tank?

At the end of the day Lopez is doing the right thing for his career, Lomachenko is doing the right thing for his career, and Tank is doing the right thing for his career. As fans we can criticize them all we want but they're the one that has to make a living in this brutal sport.

Imagine if someone had the audacity to tell you what job you should take to put food on your table.

[W1LL]

Is Teofimo Lopez ranked by any of the orgs who Loma holds titles with? Honestly I'd never heard of Lopez until 2-3 months ago and I don't see him having a chance against Lomachenko. People talking about ducking are just too eager to try to tear down Lomachenko. He is a one-off talent and anyone who cannot see that is a total moron not worth engaging in Boxing debates.

[Rip Chudd]

Not sure who these people are but if they do exist then they are clearly suffering from fanboyism at its finest.
As soon as Tank got his first World championship belt his age is not relevant he's just another belt holder that other fighters want to fight for.
Whoever argues that Tank is too young should be ashamed of themselves for being a fanboy.

It's because they share different platforms and promoters. Which makes that fight very difficult to make. It's like making Crawford/Spence, Garcia/Lomachenko and Fury/Wilder. Negotiations could take up to several months or even years in order to get those bouts made. Unlike Lopez and Loma who share the same platform and promoter which makes that fight much easier to make.

[Mister Wolf]

One has true confidence and the other has false bravado. I saw the bravado shatter and become a social media meltdown once Floyd reached out to Top Rank to make the fight. Floyd knows he is afraid that's why he did it as a form of discipline/punishment.

I actually don’t get what happened with the Tank and Loma situation. Mayweather said he spoke to Todd deboef and that they were ready to make that fight like a year or so ago. But then his stance has changed since then. It does make Tank look weak to be honest, and it makes Lopez look ballsy with his call outs.

can't really compare the two TBH. Teo can call out Loma all he wants knowing that Bob won't match them, Loma is his present and Teo is his future.

Tank knows that he says anything and he might have to fight Loma. Something he's doing anything he can to avoid

[Motorcity Cobra]

People are criticizing Loma for "ducking" Teofimo, who is 21 years old calling Loma out, but many of the same people say Tank isn't ducking Loma because Tank is too young at 24 years old. Or at least that was their excuse when he was 21 or 22, not sure what excuse they use now.

Nope. Different weight classes.

[Derranged]

Tank and Loma are in different weight classes at the moment. It's only a matter of time before Tank will have no choice but to move up so I think the fight can still happen.

In the meantime, Loma needs a solid opponent.

[Larry the boss]

Maybe Lopez has bigger balls then Tank, why the deflection?
