Carefully managed "multi division" champion. He will get a beating when he faces top 135 guys just like Broner got beaten by world class welterweights.
He is just Broner with more power.
They both also lack discipline, that is why they fight/fought "bigger" guys.
Cant wait to see him fight Prograis or Taylor or Teofimo or Haney or Loma or any of the other really solid match ups he has near his weight lol
He'll go the Crawford route and fight bum after bum after washed up ex-B level guy. Joke sport
Yeah the sport really is going majorly down hill each year
Bring back the super 6 super middleweight days
Exciting fight after exciting fight
Now all we have is the promise of upcoming fights in the next year or two that just never happen
Tank does need to step up. With that said, there's nothing I've seen from him so far that points to him being anything like Broner. Their approach, their mentality, their fighting style, their demeanor is vastly different. Like I said before, it's a reach.
He could be good enough to be the best p4p fighter ever I guess but I feel like his promotional team are having deja vu aswell and they'll not step him up for a long time incase it's another broner
Another broner =less money
Tank will be in bubble wrap for the foreseeable future

I think you're concentrating too much on the fighting style being similar I think it's more that Leo santa and barrios landed numerous shots on tank ,tank looks great against this level of opposition and weight difference fighters but the second he steps up he's going to be finished exactly like broner
That's what the ts is trying to say I think and I agree with him
Look amazing step up and get dominated

I feel Tank actually cares for boxing in a way that Adrien didn’t. Broner was comfy with waiting guys out to wear down and then ko them when they were too far along physically to come back. Tank actually goes for the win.
Nah Broner had some tough fights even before Maidana. Ponce De Leon comes to mind. Once again, there really is no comparison. They are vastly different fighters.

Go back and look at broner fights prior to the maidana fight... he outclassed schooled and stopped the bum of the month club just like tanks is doing

Those 2 fighters aren't at all comparable. Tank has an established style and he knows who he is. Broner doesn't even throw punches for fear of being hurt. Davis is probably the hardest puncher p4p and he's not scared to take a punch in order to get his shots off. And he's accurate as hell. There really is no comparison.

I was thinking similar, I like him though, but he also will be much better managed than Broner...
"When he faces a top level fighter" may not happen, as the carefully managed part will guide.
I like him because he's actually a good guy and a tough fighter, he's not the one doing the match making.
This is the way I see it... they will keep managing him and cherry picking and he'll keep doing his thing, he'll become a star and then he doesn't ever need to face a top opponent.
IF, IF, he ever does face a top contender, it will be under his terms as the A side and we all know how that goes down, you'll have to KO him to win.... meaning he will win controversially, but he'll still win.
This may be the common them going forward.
Tremendous talent, would love to see him detach from Floyd though.
This exactly ,they can't fool real boxing fans we all know what's going on with tank

Dumbest post on the forum:bryce:
How is it? They're managing him smarter just blatantly ducking josh taylor
It seems like a broner 2.0 they're going to keep the hype as long as they can and not step up at all
