    Barrios was an undefeated young world champion who fought his heart out. But you dumb casual's complain about him and insult him because of your pathetic and transparent agenda.
    **** ride white fighters? Lol. Put the race card away hotshot. I think you have just shown us that moronic mentality that Ellerbe was alluding to. Dumb little racists who get all emotional when somebody dares criticise a fighter on a certain side of the street..

    Barrios was a world champion? Lol the division has an undisputed champion. Ellerbe has fooled you and then told us what a moron you are.

        I actually wasn't talking about you. But since it seems to have hit a nerve with you then it applies to you as well. Take it any way you want. The only one getting emotional is clearly you. Keep crying bi tch

          when he says taylor isnt "known" its relative to cost.....not once did he ever imply that barrios is more known than taylor....only a "hate on everything pbc" ruhtard such as yourself would take it that way or try to pass it off that way........its not a big enough fight for arum to want to do a cross promo ppv.....arums not going to do it...not enough money for it.....they arent going to overpay taylor for a fight and thats what it would take to get him to fight tank on ppv.....taylor is good...hes known...but hes not big enough in the states to do a pbc/top rank ppv......thats lost on idiots like yourself...either that or you wilfully ignore it.....so you can point fingers at the guy youd point the finger at no matter what....friggin insecure dummies....the finances wont work....and arum can make fights with teo or bud for taylor and keep things in house and have dibs on a winner......its too bad sad fgts like you cant understand this....hes not implying barrios is more known than taylor....who do u think would demand more money in a fight against tank? taylor or barrios? who do u think is easier to make a fight with? the the guy with top rank with the promoter that has other fights for him...or the pbc guy? LOL...dolt

            That’s the way to become a super star actually. You don’t really have to fight the main boxers. The Paul brothers are doing it, Tank is now doing the same.

              You can only form that sort of notion by not being aware of the boxing landscape around the weight classes Tank is in.

                No you have completely missed the point (on purpose). Ellerbe and Floyd have made it very clear to anybody listening that they are not interested in any of the top fighters PERIOD. Only in house match ups. We can all acknowledge that he sells tickets and sells PPVs but if he fought the elite of 135 or 140 he would sell tickets and sell PPVs AND maybe win some real titles and be a respected and feared force in the division.

                But they dont want to do that they want to feed him lower standard opposition and rake in as much money as they can because he is a ticket seller and a PPV fighter and they don't want to risk that or have big names or champions command a portion of that money.
                I absolutely agree that he DESPERATELY NEEDS a signature win. I also think people like Lopez, Haney and Garcia will do alot of talking but not sign on the line when it comes to Tank. I think Loma would fight him and I believe Tank would sign too but as you said his team has to believe in him. I personally think he could own 130 and 135 if given the chance.

                  He's being protected right now and I doubt we'll see him against a big name who is a legitimate threat anytime soon.
