But He's Only 23

[TernceBudCharlo]

When Floyd was 23 he had already dominated Genero Hernandez, Diego Morales, Angel Manfredy. Stop the excuses and make the good fights happen. I'm sick of fans using this as an excuse.

Who are you talking about?

[Pantera_]

Ok and Tank is 27 so when is his breakout fight coming?

[tritium_arma]

Are you talking about Teofimo? At 23 he has fought better competition than Crawford at 33.

One fighter's progress, particularly one with a pro boxing family and an Olympic background, has got nothing whatsoever to do with 99% of the rest of the boxers in the world.

Truth.

It's just different cloths of fighters however.

Many of these guys now days just can't dare to be great like that. Plus they aren't really on that talent level to begin with, to have the confidence to dare.

I know a lot of the game is centered around maximizing the boxer's income now days but majority of these guys just aren't thoroughbred boxers to begin with. The closest to it is probably Teofimo for me but he's not that caliber of boxer to begin with. He's not your thoroughbred like Spence, Floyd, Oscar De La Hoya etc. Nor is he an anomaly like Pacquiao.

So, I've yet to be convinced by the young guys. When is the last time we've seen an 17-18 year old olympian go pro with legit, thoroughbred boxing skill lately?

I'm not convinced of his skill but Shakur I guess?

But if he isn't fighting any of Berchelt, Diaz, Herring, or Farmer by his next 3 fights. He's disqualified.

As much as I respect Diego I put Loma much highter.
