      What? He may not be able to even crack an egg but he did knock Panty Cruz' ass out unconscious with just one solid uppercut.

        Davis should have united against the Lightweights or at least had one super fight there. Really odd how he went from Jr Lightweight up to Lightweight back down to Jr Lightweight and now up to Jr Welterweight. I was hoping for a box-off with a combination of fights with Davis, Ryan Garcia, Haney, Lom. But the oddest thing was Ryan Garcia running and hiding out from the scary world.

            Bob just stop talking, you had 2 of the biggest fights of the year and you've become an epic failure. Get your own house in order, start acting like a promoter and less like goapher who's trying ride coat tails to become an instagram/social media influencer.
            Putting people down to make yourself look good just makes you look childish.

            Bob has been saying stuff that make folks question his mental stability for at least a decade now, I seriously think it's time for him to pack it in and retire.

              Davis at 140 is the same as Canelo at 175, guys are very small for the weightclass, they can offset a portion of that with being faster, skilled and Davis has that explosiveness but it's not their weightclass, I rather see tank campaign at 135 and Canelo stick to 168.

              Tank is even smaller than a lot of these lightweights, Marios is a very calculated risk, it's a picked fight, is a fight which he should win against a regular weak champion, now, 140 is not the most stacked division but Haney, Garcia dn Lopez will eventually move up to 140 and with all due respect and adimiration I got for Tank, I don't think he beats those guys at 140, size will be just too much.

              We'll see how Tank looks at 140, thou, I will watch his fight.

                  Agreed, he's not a 140 pounder and I'm not confident his power travels the way people think it will. At his recent fight at 135, the power was there but it wasn't anything crazy but maybe that had to do with him being in bad shape as he tired quickly.

                  Barrios took a beating from like round 5 to 11 vs Ahkmedov and never got knocked down. He also had the power to drop Ahkmedov twice, including late. I don't really get this fight for Tank. If he was disciplined, he would be campaigning at 130 and possibly 135. But 140? Meh.

                    Coming from a guy who has been in boxing for decades, that's a weird comment. Davis is short, not small. His name is Tank because of how stocky he is. Pacquiao is only an inch taller and he has been fine. Henry Armstrong was 5'5" and fought from from 126 to 160. Robert Duran was 5'7", fought from 135 to 175. Dwight Muhammad Qawi was 5'5", he fought from 175 to HW.

                      Barrios has a small frame. He's fought in the same divisions as Tank has. Tank might be too small for Taylor, Prograis or Ramirez. though.
