    How long will Tank be able to avoid the top fighters at 135?

    I can only assume he won't fight anyone noteworthy the rest of the year. But will he be able to avoid Teo, Loma, Haney, Garcia for the entire of 2022 too?

    And why won't Tank even CALL OUT one of these fighters?

    I personally think that Loma-Davis is the best fight at 135 IF (and it's a big if) Loma is able to dominate Teo in the rematch. The fact that both guys have relatively short reaches make for a potentially action filled fight. Tank is so fast and explosive (more so than Teo) that I don't see Loma (as good as he is) being able to dance in it out and around Tank all night without tasting his power at some point. And when tank gets the taste of blood he goes right for the kill which I like. Loma when he's on point is a solid finisher as well. I also feel that this would be the best selling PPV as well.

    But you with Floyd at the helm you know this fight (if it ever does get made) is like THREE years at least down the road lol

        Tank is the top guy at 130. Why do people ask about fights at 135 and 140 and not anything about 130?

          Can Tank even make 130 anymore?

            He had no problem making it the last time. The bottom line is Tank is ranked top 1 or 2 at 130 by multiple media outlets yet posters ask about 135 and 140 and never 130. Why?

              In his last time in the ring he wasn't at 130.

              I don't think it's smart for a fighter to yoyo up and down in weight. It rarely turns out well.

                ryan garcia-ellerbe said they already tried and were turned down...i tend to believe......oscar botched canelo and lost the prized asset in boxing...so now his company rests on ortiz and garcia.....he is not in any hurry to risk ryan having an L hung on him by tank......damaging to garcia and thus his company...most of NSB agrees tank wins that fight from what ive read

                now let me ask you a question......what if bob arum doesnt want to make a tank/teo or tank/loma fight? what if arum wants to rematch teo and loma? what if he wants teo to move up to 140 to face taylor? what if he wants taylor to move up to fight bud?

                whats tank supposed to do if arum and oscar arent interested in making fights with him? is he supposed to put a gun to their heads?

                  I meant the last time he made 130.

                  I agree with you about going up and down.

                    Well, he did say Loma will be 40 soon. Lol. We know this fraud won’t be fighting an elite level fighter from 135 or 140, and he is too fat to fight at 130. They’re shopping for a Youtuber as we speak.
