If Tank vs Loma DOES happen... who you got?

[Primo Carnera]

I think Size and age are against Loma here, regardless of how good a boxer he is.

if it happens before the end of this year i think loma takes a unanimous decision

I like Tank in this one. All in all his timing, defense and fast adjustments have come a long way. Are they hones against the very best? Nope, but these two will be meeting right in the middle of their own crossroad of declines and improvements respectfully. Loma kept his hands in his pockets and had zero adjustment for half of decent puncher (and still being called green) Teo. I can't unsee that.

Well unfortunately they didn't have to ring the bell to find out. Sounds like it's a no-go as Loma has expressed thru manager he's simply not motivated and doesn't feel like fighting right now. “Loma is not in the mood right now, he doesn't have the motivation at the moment. He's taking off, he wants to spend more time with the family. He doesn't want to do anything till the end of the year… Just money is not what motivates him. You can offer him tens of millions of dollars - if he doesn't have motivation, he's not ready to prepare for the fight.” Part of me can respect that more than some bs excuse, but the reality is he's not getting younger and everything goes in reverse at a certain career point. Shame really it may very well go down as one of those blown "big fights" that never materialized.

If Tank would have pulled out of negotiations I would have railed him so….. absolutely weak by Loma. The sauce is weak

loma should just retire if he can't get motivated for a fight with tank

Can't argue with that. The bottom line is that when the subject comes up down the road, assuming they never fight, it will be as simple as and literally "Loma did not feel like it".

For last 6/7 years it has been Davis not feel like it
