    Does Tank get credit for jumping 2 divisions

    Just wondering does he get credit for going from 130-140 to take on a undefeated top 10 fighter

      He does because this guy is better than Leo or one legged Gamboa.

        I give him the same credit Canelo got for going from 154 to 168 and fighting Fielding. It’s a similar mismatch IMO.

        Barrios ain’t a real champion and isn’t in Tank’s league. This is an easy fight IMO, so I ain’t giving him much credit.

        I love watching Tank fight, think he’s a real talent but he still hasn’t done sh** above 130 in all honesty. Fortuna at 135 which was originally rumoured would have been a much better option than Barrios.

          I do. 140 is a big jump for a small guy and Barros looks like a big 140 and is no bum. I can't speak for others but it is the jump that bugs me. He's had plenty to say about all the top guys at 135 only to by pass any involvement in any of them.

          But either way Tank feels he is worthy of top tier status yet he has bypassed top tier opposition.

            its not like he moves up and fights a top dog, more so looks like he struggles to make 130-135, at 140 he'll be comfortable

              considering it's his first fight, he should be getting credit. barrios may not be the best at 140 but its not like he's fighting a journeyman.

                Yeah...... I don't think the plan is to stay at 140. Those 135 fights are still there. He hasn't fought anybody since Pedraza and this is a good start to get back on track.

                  I think Barrios is being underrated, if Davis wins I'll give him full credit, but I think he's getting KO'd. Toughest fight of Davis' career to date

                    Canelo didnt get credit for Fielding,so why should Tank for Barrios who arguably robbed Akmeadev,that said I still think Barrios has a shot because Tank is hella overrated
