I definitely appreciate Tank and his performances.
But this whole Rolly prop, then replacing him with this 'Pitbull' Cruz guy makes me really question Tank's handlers, Mayweather and Ellerbe' in their whole 'Star status' model.
I think Tank will NOT fight legacy fights against the likes of Josh Taylor (140),Teofimo, Haney etc.
What do you think is next for Tank after he mops the floor with 'Pitbull' Cruz???
He aint fighting a live dog anytime in the next decade. They are building a franchise and the plan isn't to get their man beat. They'll feed him guys he can only lose to if he fuks it up.
Forget Haney, Loma, Teo you'll never see it. As long as the hood rats are buying tickets and PPV's he'll keep doing what he's doing.
If i was TMT i'd make the Garcia fight, it's commercially viable and Tank has got zero chance to lose. But even GBP aren't stupid enough to feed Ryan to Tank so they can't even get that one over the line.
yeah, i mean I also don't see Tank int he ring with the names we want him in there with.
All in the name of lame, greeday fatcat politics, Tank is being fed what he is being fed opponent-wise.
Nope, I see no desire in this dude to be great. Remember when Canelo made Goldenboy mayke the Lara fight even though they were telling him no? That shows a fighter that wants to be great. Tank is content fighting whoever his garbage promoter puts in front of him, knowing it won't be anyone worth a darn cause they are scared to match him against the best
Wow,
I mean I think what you said is the case definitely.
It's sad man because it's making Tank look bad as each easy opponent is given him.

I'd be surprised. I gave him credit for the Pedraza fight and the Barrios fight. The rest of his career hasn't meant much. It's sad considering he's the oldest of the "4 kings" and could easily be surpassed by Haney or Garcia and already significantly surpassed by Teofimo.
Very well said.
I give credit to Tank also for a few nice fights.
But according to the point of his career, he really needs his handlers to step it up with top competition.
Boxing fans (not manfans) are seeing the trend with how he is being handled and people are speaking out.
We'll see what's next after Tank washes this Pitbull guy.
I hope he does.
Remember guys, Pitbull Cruz is no joke of an opponent. It may not sell as much as Rolando vs Davis would, but in the ring I believe it will be a tougher opponent than the largely untested Rolando.
You got a point.
Yet the thing here is that Pitbull's style is perfect for Tank to KO. It is no coincidence they selected him as replacement.
I get what you're saying though.

He’s beaten some pretty big names already, but I’m not fully buying in to the p4p hype until he beats someone like López or if he brutally knocked the spark out Haney. I wouldn’t even be overly impressed if he beat Lomacheno at this point since he’s old and has arm problems all the time now.
That's well said. I definitely appreciate some competition he has won in his career.
I just think it's time for his team to step it up for him after this pitbull guy with them names you mentioned definitely. Or vs Josh Taylor for Undisputed at 140

Curious to know who you consider "pretty big names" ??
As for OP's question....not anytime soon. Mayweather did say "in house only" and going off his previous/next opponent,you have to take him at his word, unfortunately. I do believe though if/when they take his training wheels off,Loma will be the first fighter outside of PBC's roster that Tank will fight but will only happen when Loma is a shell of himself. Probably about 3yrs from now....
I hope he does.

Of course not, his entire team scared as hell. Boxers and boxing promoters are cowards and spoiled divas in general.
Save for a few examples like Chisora who will fight anyone, most of these guys are just instagram bums.
Well Ellerbe didn't even mask it when he said Tank fans are dumb and they can feed them any old nonsense and they will lap it up cuz they have no clue.
Oh my gosh!! That greedy fat cat said that???
What a sleeze ball!!
Yeah it seems like with Floyd and Ellerbe they will continue giving him these types of matchups where they'll know Tank can KO them.

Will someone significant fight Tank is what I wanna know?
That's kind of my complaint as of late with Tank man.
More than anything it's his greedy handlers that are keeping him away from the significant REAL competitive fights.
We live in hope,
But no of course he won't.
Yeah it seems like with Floyd and Ellerbe they will continue giving him these types of matchups where they'll know Tank can KO them.
He might have to retire if the WBA stops handing out vacant Regular Title fights.
Yeah, them regular belts are foolish.
Good thing is WBA finally woke up out of that idiocy and is starting to eliminate them belts.
