Is Tank gonna compete at 135 now? Last I heard him talk about fighting he was talking about getting his belt back/still fighting at 130. Did that Farmer L change something? Can't line up something with that Japanese(?) cat?
Probably better to stick around 130. The way its sounded it seems like Loma might be moving up so Tank could potentially be the guy at 130 over the next couple years, gain some experience & then move up in a couple years for a big fight with Loma when he's gotten some more seasoning. If he moves up to 135 now & Loma does too he's gonna be in the same situation he's in now with living in Loma's shadows & needing to fight him to get out of his shadow.
without loma tank has no shadow. no one would be paying attention to a guy who has only fought on undercards against crap opposition. the only time he headlined was when he traveled to his opponents home country. loma being at 130 shines light on everyone else there. when tank saw the light he ran away and ate himself into a food coma
I've got a Cano poster on my wall- "The MexiCant"
His blood letting rivals that of Chuck Wepner.
we probably get a floyd-cano fight if that robbery didn't happen. floyd would trump up cano as an amazing fighter and sucker the mexican fanbase into purchasing another ppv while saying hes the least racist person in the world, not all mexicans are rapists, etc...the usual razzle dazzle

hey paulie was coming off a huge robbery win over cano. imagine if broner had beaten cano for the belt? that would have been a great win on his ledger to put with the others...
You mean a 4 division title holder who makes it to the p4p list?
isnt this an indictment of how the p4p lists are trash and based simply on hype and how winning belts is super easy since there are 4 of them and fighters can be steered into easy belts against unknown/crappy opposition? you are using it as a positive thing...i dont know why. you are the same guy who always says floyd beat more champs than anyone else so im guessing thats why. quality is not your thing. hollow achievements are
Broner is trash, Larry. Who did he beat to win those titles?
There are far worse boxers to be compared to, ya'll act like he is some bum who never accomplished sh1t while making no money..Broner was/ is successful in terms of boxing..He made it!!

Sense a bit of pawn positioning going on for when Mikey Garcia vacates
that is the haymon way. his #1 priority is accumulating and maintaining WBC/WBA/IBF world title belts.
If Mikey vacates then Linares who is the WBC Diamond champ and really the true WBC champ anyway likely gets re-instated as champ. It was stupid in the first place to downgrade Linares to champion in recess when he got injured and make Zlaticanin vs bum Mamani for a vacant belt. Mikey lifted the belt off that paper champ and has refused to defend the title campaigning at 140 instead. So give the belt back to Linares and end this non sense with 2 belts the WBC champ and WBC Diamond champ BS...problem solved.
I still think Garcia/Linares will happen, then Garcia moves up permanently after.

Diamond belt is just a trophy
