Well, So Much For The Idea That Tank Won't Be In Shape

A lot of posters want Tank to fail because he is aligned with Floyd and Haymon. They desperately want him to keep being the unprofessional slob that has out of the ring issues. Their greatest fear is that he matures because even these bigoted haters realize a focused Tank, backed by Haymon, trained and advised by Floyd, with his drawing ability and punching power, is a real threat to beat their heroes in the future. Top of that list is Loma. A lot of us just dislike Tank for how he acts out of the ring, and how undisciplined he is.

It probably depends on the amount of the fine per pound. If it's only $1 mil/lb, no problem. Limit is 5 lbs doe.

Tank looks like he's 168 right now. Doesn't matter if Floyd is in his camp, Floyd can't cut the fat off of him.

I’d like to give him the benefit of the doubt, but people just are who they are. How many times have we seen it before? “If this guy could just do this, then he’d be that.” Zab Judah and Adrian broner are 2 examples at the top of everyone’s “could have been” list, but there are countless others. A fighters level maturity, discipline, dedication are all rolled into their personality and who they are at the core. Like I said, he’s fairly young, so maybe he comes around, but I won’t be holding my breath. I can't disagree. I understand completely why people are down on Tank. My only thing is he could change and mature. We've seen any number of professionals change how they handle their business. Hopefully, after the last public episode and the fallout from it, he learned from it and made some changes. It's one thing if you get beat. It's another thing if you beat yourself and sabotage your own career like Tank seemed to be doing so far.

We’ve seen Loma blown up on the off season to 155 and he wasn’t “fat,” just not ready for a fight. I’m not saying Tank is fat just so you know. I remember that pic they posted with the roid gut.

Floyd is getting a good workout here.

Nah. Floyd’s not even in shape there. Floyd looks about 5lbs over and Tank still got weight mgmt to full fill while looking way thinner in the ring. Therefore, Tank is about 155 since they’re going for a serious camp with a challenging drain. Keep imagining. Personally, I'd rather he fights at 140 or even 147, if weight is an issue. He looks solid now. He should fight at whatever weight he wants. Screw the belts.

I bet you he don’t make 130. PBC has a perfect plan. Look at how big he is next to Floyd and working comfortably. He looks about 155lbs. Means he will have to cut to 140lbs with muscle mass. Then 10lbs of water after... which he already has trouble making 135... 130 isn’t the plan bruh. I'd say he's about 147 in this semi-sparring with Floyd, and sharp. He's flipping Floyd around and wants to go at him in a few spots. I imagined Loma holding those mitts. He'll make 130. Worse for Cruz. Keep watching.

Lol. I didn’t say he was going to beat Loma. I do think if he changes the way he operates and matures he has a better chance to beat him. That said, the Lomafiles on this board know Tank’s power is an issue for anyone. Imagine how good he could be if he could spend the majority of camp perfecting strategy rather than having to lose 45 lbs. I’d like to give him the benefit of the doubt, but people just are who they are.

Top of that list is Loma. He does have issues outside the ring- that episode with his girlfriend was inexcusable. He has had weight issues. But, what's also true is if he ever got his shyt together, there is no one at 130 or 135 he doesn't have a very good chance to beat, Loma included (and especially so the more time goes by). This looks A LOT like him getting some things together. We'll see how long it lasts, if he can stay focused.

He looks a little heavy but still plenty of time to shave it off. I think he makes weight

Dude, we just saw Gervonta Davis struggled to maie weight for 135, you actually think he wont struggle making 130? - -Shush! Last I saw Tankshe, she was pregnant. Show some respect!

Oh yeah with Floyd in his corner the judges are in the bag, already have Tank ahead on the cards!

Good post. This is the truth. You were pretty sceptic about Davis having the ability to beat the hypejob. Good to see you coming around. Lol. I didn’t say he was going to beat Loma.

Exactly what I first thought. Then I heard it was at 130. Like Thraxox said, dude couldn't make 135 easily...so all Leo had to do is get thru the early rounds even or close then watch Davis gas and win a decision. Looks a little less possible now. He still looks big. LSC is a high output fighter and this is winnable fight for him, no doubt

why does Mayweather need to motivate another grown man?

TMT have nothing to worry about. They only need to make 135. Floyd and Haymon don’t care about 130. When Tank comes over, and should LSC lose, the 130 becomes vacant. LSC will still have his 126 belt. PBC still wins by promoting 2 Champions afterwards. As if it isn’t obvious.. Hey Frankie, it's not about Cruz, it's more about Gervonta wanting to be the boss in two divisions simultaneously.

What shape Tank is in will show up in the fight and not in a short video. He had better be in shape because Leo always is and he throws more than 1000 punches every fight.

If this guy is going to spend the next 11+ weeks in Gervonta Davis's camp, there's nowayinhell Tank isn't going to be in GREAT condition vs Leo Santa Cruz. Leo's best chance just waved goodbye...
