The man is a tank, he looks like a freaking bear.
He's a tank! Look how he ate Gamboa's punches, the same Gamboa who made Crawford do da Booty Dew. Tank just gave him free clean punches to the chin and they bounced off that muthaf*cka like a TANK.
You just know with this grizzly bear that it's only a matter of time until those hammers take the other guy out!
I wanna see him destroy Haney. :boxing:
So they likely were able to run DNA then? Or do you think it's just based on assumption, like how many descendants Genghis Khan had
I'd guess it's assumption based, apparently the tomb is now sealed on account of the 'curse' (the body was apparently replaced shortly before the victory at Stalingrad) but I'll bet half of Uzbekistan claims lineage.:lol1:
I can imagine there'll be '100% legitimate' genealogists in Samarkand where you can pick up documentary evidence that you're a descendent of Tamerlane for 1,000,000 UZS or so.
Maybe I'm being unduly cynical though, 600 odd years is a long time but some noble lineages will be quite fiercely protective of their history... could be Shohjahon actually does come from a family that's preserved it's history or at least has someone who claimed a link amongst his ancesrty.:dunno:
There have been a few tank type fighters in Boxing that seemed to break down when they ran in to the top tier fighters. I doubt that will happen to Davis but he needs to be fighting that top tierto really own the name Tank.
To be fair he has already beaten a couple of real good names, fighters who can sniff out a fraud and unravel them and he's passed those tests.
:thinking: Be a tricky one to prove I think, unless they got some of Timur's remains to run a DNA test on, although given the number of wives and concubines a great war leader like Tamerlane is likely to have had I'd guess there's a non-trivial chance of it actually being true.
EDIT: so how about that?Tamerlane did in fact have many wives and concubines and dozens of children. Also they do - or did - have his remains which were exhumed in 1941 by a Soviet archaeologist.

Although legend has it they were replaced due to the 'Curse of Tamerlane' which some believed was the cause of the German invasion

more recently, I've enjoyed Shohjahon "Descendant of Tamerlane" Ergashev. I wonder if he's a Descendant of Tamerlane?

Oh yeah... And Robbie 'The Camden Caretaker' Chapman -one of our lockdown regulars - also probably deserves a nod. Robbie's a school caretaker.... From Camden. :lol1:
Aik 'The Humanoid' Shaknazarian also leaves Tank a pile of smoking twisted metal in the naming accuracy stakes. Having watched a few of his fights I can confirm that he is, indeed, human shaped.

Chris 'The Male Man' Male has a more accurate ring name I'd have to say. Pretty much an unbeatable tautology in fact. If naming accuracy was ranked Chris would at the very least be an ATG whereas Tank would probably be a secondary champion. :lol1:
I like his nickname because he run through the guys that has been put in front of him so far, he would solidify that nickname if he fights his main rivals and do the same thing. For example if he stops someone like Haney whose style is a bit more defensive then that would be massive.
Names that backfired or stopped working
''The Problem''
''Lights Out''
''''One Time''
''Left Hook''
Tank has to defend that name :boxing:

Just a few :lol1:
