Tank is a hype job. No two ways about it. If you look up hype job in the dictionary, it says Gervonta Davis. It’s true. Google it.
Protected fighter absolutely , a hypejob, nope not with those skills and chin.
NOWHERE near atg, and would've definitely lost to prime Ward and probably Froch
His only unquestionable solid win was Kessler, who is B level at best
Kessler was a solid boxer whose career didn't pan out all too well due to repeated injuries and later he started to rely on his power and chin a bit too much for my liking , even going into Calzaghe fight he was plagued by hand injuries.
Had his first big fight at 35 , his resume is understandable for a MW given the fighters who ducked him but abysmal for someone so legit.
Has got maybe two more fights left in him .

I think Byrd got this 1 right & Calzaghe robbed Bhop by a rediculous 1 sided card (I can't see how he won by a score of 116-111,thats as bad a card as I've ever seen)
Thoughts? Did he deserve to win?
Yep he totally did enough to win , Bhop was trying to get him into a pawing rhythm with his jab and land right hands like he did to Tarver, which he did effectively in the early rounds but Calzaghe adjusted after four rounds or so and won almost all of the rounds after that, all Hopkins was doing later in the fight was try to spoil it by clinching and faking that he got hit low.
Hopkins didn't do enough to win the fight and 116-111 was the correct card.
whats the consensus on that, do most think Usyk still won the Briedis fight? or a draw or a robbery?
Usyk clearly won the fight 8-4 imo, Briedis was landing some good sneaky hard shots but he wasn't able to control the fight at any point at all, Usyk was just jabbing his face off and was landing a lot.
Mchunu looked really good against Usyk until he was knocked out.
Man what low expectations to say that Canelo deserved that 2nd fight lol. He took off like 4-5 rounds that GGG won just on activity. Canelo didn't even have a clear dominant round in either fight, because even when he did good work, GGG matched him because he is way more active.
Canelo fought well and impressively in fight 2. He did stand his ground and made GGG fight in the middle of the ring. He still lost like 8-4 though. He got outlanded almost every round, again
Agree with that, for a fighter who was called a poor backfoot fighter by Chepo Reynoso GGG did quite well , circled without getting backed up to the ropes and I felt he took the fight with his jab especially in the later rounds.
However the fight was very close so not too much to complain there , but it was set in stone that Canelo would always be given the benefit of doubt in such situations.
Jermell will knock out Tim, Tim is good but he needs to fight better competition before heading for a Charlo fight.
Tim also has the tendency to gas out a bit and throw wide telegraphed puches like he did in the Hogan fight, he can't afford to make such mistakes without getting countered hard if he fights a fighter on Charlo's level.
Right now a good litmus test will be to fight either Lubin or Tony Harrison, both have weak chins but elite boxing skills, if he gets past them then we'll see.
Man, I really don´t care who is Tank calling out. he is 3 division paper champ and nobody cares about him.
Shitty bait thread seen four or five similar to this , OP seems to be a smoothbrain.
Spence of course he'd stop Pacman late after working his body in the early rounds.
Ugas held his position very well and moving to his right and holding the inside angle he was able to land his right uppercut and the overhand quite well, ultimately Manny's lack of movement made a very big difference, Ugas did have a strategy to neutralize it but he had it easy due to the fact that Manny's lateral movement was almost non-existent .
Pacman was 42 and still went the distance throwing more than 800 punches and touched up Ugas a bit despite losing comfortably by a margin of 9-3 .
Conor gasses in round 1 just by shadowboxing, Manny still murks him.
Gloves excuse was totally legit , he wore Cleto Reyes second time and third time around and koed Morales , although Morales was washed up in the third and was 1-3 in last 4 fights , so you can count out that win .
And most of his excuses aren't too outlandish and seem plausible unlike Wilder who ventures directly into mentally ill territory .
And most importantly Pacman doesn't twerk.
Many Uzbeks and Kazakhs are coming up but it's gonna be some time when someone of the calibre of Golovkin, Kovalev or Bivol emerges.
I'm very disappointed with how Bivol's career has progressed after joining Matchroom, he fought Barrera , Pascal and Chilemba in the span of six months but since his Matchroom adventures the only big fight he's had is with Smith Jr. and that was in 2019 .
The top amateurs aren't that good and most of the somewhat promising types are one dimensional power punchers who'll be poorly promoted by the " Mexican style " gimmick when half of them can't string a three punch combo to the head and the body.
Dumb article, no fan with an ounce of boxing knowledge will call Pacquiao a hypejob, the reasons for calling Joshua one are crap too.
Just another opinion based article without any credibility.
Whyte sucks at leading, so does Wilder. Whyte's wants to trade hooks, while Wilder looks for an opportunity to land that big right hand.
Should be an interesting fight, Whyte seems to be extra sensitive to uppercuts and Wilder doesn't have one.
Bivol had said he was down for this fight on social media.
Now he's backtracking and ducking and dodging. Mentioning John Ryder instead. :rolleyes:
His promoter is, anyway. Very disappointing.
It's Hearn's fault for sure, Bivol fought Barrera, Pascal and Chilemba back to back in 6 months but ever since he's joined Matchroom the only relatively decent fight he's got is Joe Smith Jr.
Bivol needs to fight Buatsi.
Current crop doesn't show much promise, Canelo will be a first ballot HOFer no doubt but I doubt he'll be considered an atg unless he gets some wins that age well.
Marquez was nearly 40 and wanted to have a last word, which he did and I don't blame him for that.
His fight with Bradley soured things up a bit though.
Calling out Golovkin doesn't mean jack shit unless there's some news regarding ongoing negotiations.
Moreover Jermall Charlo has shown this tendency to call out fighters without the intention to fight them just to stay relevant , given his inactivity and fighting once a year, this seems to be the only viable strategy.
I thought it was a “Lucky Punch”
You're stirring shit again, incidentally Pacman hit Marquez with a very similar looking shot in their second fight, Marquez didn't go down but was wobbled .
