Is tank still one of the Knights at 135?

I posted the proof from Tank's promoter about in house only fights. So the dumb one is clearly you. Here's the video once again, since you clearly are lacking brain cells. Your straw man argument won't work with me.[/QUOTE There’s no point of talking about a fight that’s not really doable right now. So Floyd’s just flexing his muscles. They put on a successful event that’s getting a lot of buzz and they are popping off. Floyd’s a business man so crossing over to the other side probably isn’t completely off the table. But there’s no offer coming from Top Rank right now and they know it. So they’re going to do what they’ve been doing which is continue to build Tank up. Whoever he fights is going to be creditable if they want to keep him on PPV.

Leonard Ellerbe was right about Tank's fanbase being dumb as hell. Here's Floyd Mayweather Jr., Tank's promoter, exposing their side is to blame for only fighting in house fighters and avoiding the legit belt holders and top guys from 130lbs-140lbs. His fans are even happy about it :rolleyes:. Check out how pleased they are that Tank is making bank taking zero risk.

How long have you been watching boxing? This is a page out of Top Ranks playbook. If you really believe Bob Arum is going to let Tank come and sleep his champion and just waltz on back to Mayweather Promotions then you’re the dumb one.

I don't like it when Arum does that bullsheeit and I don't like it when Floyd does it. It needs called out and not respected or accepted. Both are pieces of sheeit doing the same sheeit. I don't watch the mismatches either. I actually act on not supporting the trash. That's the difference between me and a lot of people. you act like i bought tank vs LSC or tank vs barrios...i didnt.....so thats great...two of us didnt buy it...guess what? theyll do it again and make it a ppv......no one said they respect it...acceptance is different....they didnt miss our views or our money! it wont stop!.....you think youre different but youre not...you still follow the sport and watch videos and you wont stop no matter what kind of sheet these guys pull i know youre smart enough to understand whats been going on....and youve followed the sport...when floyd said that it isnt because they are scared and dont want challenges...its deeper than that.....dealing with arum is not fun.....they feel they can do their own thing and create a line of people wanting to fight tank because tank is a top dog/draw....that may be part of their angle...the other part could be they know tank wanting to fight teo, loma or taylor will be shot down by arum because of the history that arum has shown....the guys running tanks career are successful in this sport...they arent dumb.....they understand the BS....theyve dealt with arum before...they know how it works....

No, Tank is a pawn for his promoter. He will not be fighting any legit champs/top guys from 130lbs-140lbs. Here is a video from Tank's promoter saying only in house PBC fights. theres a reason for it though...have to think deeper and look at the history of the parties involved....arum...oscar etc......its not just as cut and dry as saying "tank doesnt want challenges hes avoiding all the good fighters"....

The sky is the limit for him. He doesn't need to chase or even mention any of these guys. Screw the fake belts too.

And I hate Top Rank, check my post history. Tank cherry picking is on Floyd. It's nobody else's fault. I think teddy Atlas alluded to Bob needing his 5 o clock alcohol , he wouldn't say it if it wasn't true. He dislikes arum very much as well, finds creative ways to ridicule him. Like that one quote" don't believe me (arum) today, believe me tomorrow or some shet like that. Or how does it go? Don't believe him yesterday, believe him today." However the pendulum sways...it holds merit in terms of how he goes in terms of doing stuff.

I was gonna post this too was always a fan of floyd the fighter but he just outright said Tanks career is just about managing him the easiest routes to the top Floyd is using the Mike Tyson blueprint with Tank trying to say so what if he is putting away B+ fighters you just pay to see him in fast paced action fights knocking ppl the fck out with bad intentions

Tank is the most protected fighter out there. His team insisted he was too young for Loma from ages 22-25. After he was already a champion and consequently lost his title on the scales. He’s being hyped right now, but he’s a fun fighter to watch. Fans like action and knockouts. He is no better or worse than Berto or Kovalev.

Man, accurate assessment. If they played that plan out how you explained, it would make him destine/ flirt with greatness. Just like you alluded to, the formula has been tried, tested and true. Thanks for breaking that down in a well depicted fashion!

at this point why would arum make tank vs teo or tank vs loma or tank vs taylor when he can make teo/loma 2 or bud vs taylor or teo vs taylor? right?! i mean that makes sense and knowing arums history and how he operates he will try to freeze tank out....he did it killing the pac/floyd fight for years...hes had the game run back at him with bud vs pbc 147...and arum will no doubt run it back with tank at 135-140 if he can.........tanks best bet/smart bet is to keep doing what hes doing and focus on building his name up so well that theyll have no choice but to come see him when he wants.....and thats what it seems like hes going to do..the guys handling him are no dummies...they are successful and know how other promoters handle things so they have their own plan in regards to garcia...like ive mentioned before...oscar just fumbled and lost the biggest star in boxing...the most prized asset in boxing...his companys future now hinges on garcia and vergil....do you think oscar is in a hurry to possibly have tank hang an L on ryan right now? at 22 years of age?! im not sure he is willing to risk that the easiest one to make IMO is haney but even thats not easy.... when you hear "were only fighting pbc" its because they know how arum operates and what he will do....you play the media war/he said she said with arum and hes just going to try to make you look like an idiot......he tried that with floyd years ago...at a certain point floyd said "you aint serious....fock yall im moving on"....thats what theyre saying....."we arent playing the game with arum in regards to these fights...he wont try to make them with us"...im sure theyd go to the table with ryan and haney but i dont think oscar would....and haney probably wont like the terms right now...think about it....how big of a name is tank already compared to haney.....nobody really knows haney and they offer would reflect that.....and haney would basically be like "this is low money to fight tank and too much risk...fock that"...... tank isnt afraid of fighting any of these guys...its the politics and business side that prevents these......so tanks team is just going to go out there and focus on self and hope they do a good enough job that everyone will form a line to get a whiff of tank...
