Can Tank Davis cherry pick a title at 147?

[Curt Henning]

****ing losers like you need to quit projecting that victim mentality. Must just be a lifestyle since it never gets old does it?

You say "Bob ain't even considering Tank" but the reality is Tank ain't considering nobody. Did everyone not hear that Tank is only going to be fighting PBC guys? LMFAO.

JAMAL JAMES IS THE 147LB INTERM WBA CHAMPION SIGNED WITH PBC. EASY CHERRY PICK.

How history revisionist like yourself forget that Mayweather threatened to feed Tank to Loma and Tank got right back in line real fast.

Tank such a ****ing killer at 140 but too scared to fight anyone with a pulse at 130-135.

Loma has always been willing to fight across platform and Bob has always allowed it. How about Tank? Lmfao. Does Tank fight off platform and across the pond?

People like you with your ass backwards thinking. Everyone wants these fights but Tank and his handlers. Also trash like you posing as boxing fans when you really don't want the best fights, you wanna be a little girl and gossip instead.

lol....youre an idiot.....when a guy like bob has multiple inhouse options for a guy or a set of guys he isnt looking anywhere else.......ie see what he was doing with pac during pac/mayweather fever....doing everything he possibly could to shoot the fight and keep making the inhouse stuff....same type of deal with spence and the pbc.......its not "backwards" thinking...its observing and analyzing.....seeing trends and history repeating itself......take your low iq arse somewhere else you friggin clown

who was tank supposed to fight?

taylor who just fought and became undisputed last month? was bob going to put ramirez/taylor on the backburner for a matchup with tank if tank came calling? no he wasnt....and we all know that....

teo? who is coming off the loma fight and wants an easy/mando defense and a ppv on triller? if tank came calling do you think teo would fight loma and tank back to back? of course not and we all know that

loma? coming off a loss...do u think loma wanted that fight coming off an L? prob not...although loma might not care...but even if he did would bob allow that? i doubt it

do any of you idiots think maybe just maybe, possibly, bob has ideas on matching teo and loma for a rematch? or maybe when teo moves up he might have teo fight taylor? or that he might have taylor fight bud?

bob has a few fights with loma/teo/taylor/bud he can make all in house.....do u really think bob is even considering tank? of course he isnt...so trying getting that through your thick skull on way to your pea brain when you start talking about who tank is fighting

bob and haymon only do real business when the fight is big and a big ppv fight...like fury/wilder or bud/spence.....tank vs loma aint that....tank vs taylor aint that....tank vs teo can be down the line but its a bit early

your welcome to todays installment of "breaking down a delusional idiot"...

The Barrios fight would make perfect sense as a bridge to a Josh Taylor fight. The frustration is we all know that's never going to happen.
Personally, I was very impressed and excited by what I saw of Davis's early career and I don't think it's unreasonable to have expected more from him in terms of "legacy" by now.
A 26 year old heavyweight can be considered young but I'm not sure it's quite the same at feather/lightweight.

Yeah as already posted Jamal James does have A WBA Belt but I doubt Tank goes up to 147 at least not right now and if he does he will likely start off doing catchweights I think he will float around 135-140 for now. Regis Prograis is the fight to make at 140 for Tank, it is a dangerous fight for him but that is what fans want for him. Prograis is a good talker and will help promote that fight. If not Prograis then maybe 135 again vs Rolly, Pitbull Cruz Gonzalez, winner of Fortuna vs JoJo Diaz...I think those are the most realistic Options

I would like see him in with Josh Taylor, Haney, Lopez, Ryan Garcia but that doesn't seem likely at least not right now

we would all love those fights...i know i would....what people, tank haters specifically, refuse to realize is how hard those fights can be to make if the powers that be dont really want them right now......

example...tank vs ryan garcia? wed love to see it...would be great...but now look at oscars position here....he recently lost the most prized asset in boxing in canelo....he had canelo gift wrapped with a bowtie to golden boy promotions and he blew that....hes also had public spats with garcia on the internet......his company now hinges on the futures of vergil ortiz and ryan garcia.........do you think hes in a hurry to put a 22 year old rising star in there with tank right now? i highly doubt he wants to hang an L on garcia right via tank davis.....it would be disaster for his company

now bob arum......we all know he loves inhouse fights dating back to pac/floyd fever and how he kept killing that fight time and time again to make more of them......same manner i look at spence/pbc in regards to bud....theyre exhausting all inhouse stuff until the fight is the biggest it can be......none of these guys really want to work with each other unless they absolutely have to and the fight is a big enough one that they can both make alot of money in the process

so tell me why bob arum would want to go fight tank...when he could make teo/loma 2...or teo vs taylor....or taylor vs bud?

alot of people just want to hate on tank because hes with haymon and floyd and theyll never let go of hate for those guys and anyone associated with them will be dragged no matter what they do....but looking at things logically and realistically even if tank wanted those fights he just cant snap his fingers and make them happen...and there are reasons why guys like oscar and bob wouldnt pursue those fights if were being honest with ourselves

yeah it would make sense....again...try reading some of my posts here...just because tank may be interested in a fight that doesnt mean he can snap his fingers and its done....especially when youre dealing with oscar in regards to ryan...or bob arum in regards to teo/loma/taylor

what if bob wants to set up taylor vs teo? what if he wants teo vs loma 2? what if he wants taylor to fight bud? if bob has plans for those guys it doesnt matter what tank wants to do....you see?

theres a cold war always going on with these promoters....they dont wanna work with each other unless they have to....remember how bob exhausted so many options for pac before fighting floyd? same with what spence is doing now in regards to fighting bud........tank can want to fight those guys all he wants but if the guy that controls those others guys has other plans.....guess what happens(or doesnt)?

Jamal James is the WBA regular world champion

He's (27-1) 12KOs.

Sounds like he fits the bill.

I know Jamal personally. You wouldn’t last one round with him. How many fights have you won?

[champion4ever]

Not now. Wait until Erroll Spence vacates.

I know Jamal personally. You wouldn’t last one round with him. How many fights have you won?

trust me...read enough of this guys posts and youll realize the only fights he fights are the ones in his head between his personalities

[champion4ever]

What about Jaron "Boots" Ennis? He needs to get his hands on title next because everyone seems to be avoiding him; Especially all of the top 147 lbs contenders. He was frozen out of this Tank Davis card because none of the top welterweight contenders would fight him. I believe that Tank could cut down to 126 to get another title if he wanted to.

[RightJabLikeZab]

Jamal James is actually a good fighter. Only loss is to Ugas. Tank would be dominated.

Very fair points, but as someone who was in agreement with the many PBC supporters who flamed Bob for his in house practices, can you understand my frustration at seeing the same people justify those very same practices?

Floyd speaks about not wanting to "make another company great" and I get it but wouldn't everyone benefit from making boxing great?
