Loma fought Pedraza at 135 so Pedraza was fully hydrated. Tank fought Pedraza at 130 a drained fighter, to go with in the Tank fight tank Pedraza fought moving forward "per Al Bernstein who called the fight an insane strategy" while the Pedraza fully hydrated vs Loma fought in retreat boxing to survive. Mix in all that with the only thing Tank does better than Loma is have a punching power edge and you have your comparison to the two fighters fighting Pedraza.

and Yes Loma has faced people as good as Tank, Linares, Rigondeux, Russell as good as Tank. If not better.

So you're talking about the difference between pedraza at 30 & 35 and in the same post you say rigo might be better than tank at 30? OK.

Floyd won't let davis anywhere near Loma, except maybe when loma is on the wrong side of 30 and declining.

He's already past 30, but Davis will wait another year or so before taking him on. He's not ready for that yet.

not sure it ever happens tbh

Loma and Garcia beat Tank at any point of his career. To me, it's obvious Davis is the next Judah/Broner. He has a ton of talent and power, but lacks the mentality it takes to reach his full potential.

Pretty insulting to Judah to group him with broner. Though I will say both have maximized their abilities for the most part. Fighters don't come much more consistent than zab.

True. I liked Judah. It was very difficult being a fan of his. They both had/have so much natural talent and potential, but fell short when it mattered most. I feel Tank will end up like this as well. I could be wrong.

Floyd’s killing Tanks career. I can’t wait until Tanks success outgrows his need for a promoter just like Floyd did. It’s going to be a magical case of irony.

Tanks fought less than 4 rounds since August of 2017. Floyd’s setting up cupcake after cupcake for this kid so when is the kid gonna learn how to dig deep in late rounds or to deal with other hurdles that come once the level of skill of opponents is at a much higher level.

Tanks had such easy work in these fights that he should be fighting 3-4 times a year... Making money for his family. It’s a matter of time before he tells Floyd to go screw. Floyd can be patient forever, he’s already rich. I’d be out of that mess if I were Tank.

These guys won't fight until 2021, because a 33 year old version of Vasyl Lomachenko would be easier to defeat.

When did arum and loma offer him one?

Probably because of promotional rivalries. Also, Bob Arum hasn't tried to make this fight either.
