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

[Fists_of_Fury]

Spot on about Mayweather himself, he fought everyone when he was coming up. He did it the hard way. And he is making himself look bad with the way he is promoting Tank, because people are saying we were right all along about Floyd, which isn’t true. TBE actually fought good opponents.

I lost almost all respect for him when he said only in house fights for Tank. I always thought Floyd was against that kind of bullsheeit. I sheeit on Top Rank for that stuff and I will do the same to Floyd. I don't understand why he wants to go that route either. Tank is not chinny or unskilled. Tank could beat most guys from 130lbs.-140lbs. and that would make him a big star. Swerving the top guys will only give haters ammunition and turn off potential fans of Tank. It will also make more people hate Floyd, Mayweather Promotions and PBC. I am a big Floyd fan as a fighter but f**k Floyd the promoter.

Valdez is the top 130lber. Tank isn't the top guy at any weight class. His opposition has been trash. Pedraza was his only decent win against a ranked opponent that had a legit title. Floyd said only in house fights too, which is pathetic. If Tank was so good why not put him against the best, like Floyd did himself at a young age? Floyd pisses me off with his promoting. Floyd became who he was by whooping all the top guys. Tank looks like a good fighter too that I would give a very good chance to beat everyone at 130lbs. I would favor him or be 50/50 against the top 135lbers too. Us fans just get f**ked out of the best fights all the time. It's sad that PBC is Top Rank 2.0.

Please check multiple media rankings to determine where Tank is at 130. Valdez beat Berchelt and had 1 other win I believe at 130. How is that better than Pedraza ( at the time), Leo, and undefeated Walsh at 130 plus other people wins?

I believe Floyd said he isnt going to help another company be great and succeed as the reason he is going to do in house fights.

credit to you for pointing out TR is doing same. The only difference is Floyd actually was honest with us fans by telling us he’s only doing in house with Tank, as opposed to Bob who does it but lies and says he will work with others.

I just need an answer why do posters only talk about Tank at 135 and 140 but not 130 where he is one of, if not the top, guy?

Call them out 24/7! Send legit contract offers! Don't say only in house fights! Put the heat on them! Force the boxing media and fans to question them ducking, if that's the case! And fight quality opponents, even if the top guys promoter swerved you!

it doesnt/wont work and it doesn/wont matter though.....and you know this......you could send a better than good deal and if arum doesnt want it hell just say "i never received anything like that...its a ruse"

you guys have to stop living in this world where what you want and when you want it matters...it doesnt....you can desperately want boxing to run a certain way and get everything you want as a "fan" but its a pipe dream....i wish some of you could learn to accept that...instead most of you come here spouting the same lines over and over about how you dont care about money/business or any of that and just want the best fights.....trust me id love that too...i want that....but im a realist...

I rank Berchelt over Pedraza, Leo and Walsh at 130lbs. He was a longer reigning champ at the weight. He also didn't win a vacant belt at 130lbs. like Pedraza did. I think Tank sparks Valdez but he has to actually do that for me to rank him #1 at 130lbs.

Tank struggles to make 130lbs. and has missed weight before? 135lbs. Probably suits him best. Plus the best fighters for him to face are there. The most $ and best for his resume. Beating Lomachenko, Teofimo, Ryan Garcia and Haney would make Tank a super star. I think he knocks Haney and Ryan Garcia out in highlight reel fashion. The other 2 are toss ups.

Why aren't those guys doing what you are asking of Davis and his promoters? Why put the blame on only one party? Your reason is Gervonta is the one who is ducking these guys. That's not true.

You know why people (fans and haters) are impatient and pissed off with him? The answer is he's in the driver's seat to all from 130-140. He's not gonna chase or name any of these guys. Those guys need to convince their promoters to get the shot at him. Belts also mean nothing. That's true.

In the meantime, he should fight whomever is put in front of him: Colbert, Cruz Gonzalez, Garry Russell, Mikey, Prograis, whomever. I'm even OK with someone we never heard of (someone good).

[Stuntman Mike]

In fairness, he made 130 last time.

I don’t know who he faces next- maybe Russell. My point is why don’t people ask about him fighting at the weight he is at the top at instead of weights where he isn’t in the top 10?

Posters write they want the best fighting the best. So why not ask about the best 130lbers fighting?

Because this is a boxing website and the general consensus is that tank has grown out of 130 regardless if he made weight the last time he fought there

Tank is the A-side fighter and has all the leverage and power to make any fight he wants but he is choosing the opponents with the least risk.

[champion4ever]

I've heard as a matter of fact as we speak; That Mayweather Promotions are keen on trying to make the Ryan Garcia fight happen next for Davis. That would be a very huge, exciting and entertaining fight. However, I put my money on tank at some point stopping him by way of TKO in the fight.

[champion4ever]

Can Tank even make 130 anymore?

Yes he can! I believe that he cut down to 126 if he had to. He's just that small.

You're defending him not fighting anybody of note and sticking your tongue out for him fighting someone nobodies ever heard off as long as he has a padded record

Listen davis has stepped up and fought for a vacant belt so he is now world champion...people expect him to be pushing for unification fights and just going out looking for all the so called best and shutting their mouths

Look at what Mike tyson did to unify all the belts ,fighters today are far too protected and especially by fans like you

If he thinks hes the best he should go and take out the other so called champions not cherry picking vacant belt holders when there's another guy in the division whom has already unified the belts the old fashioned way

Josh taylors doing it the right way he's ducked nobody but then again he really wanted the fights and to prove he's the best,tank and Co want to fight no hopes then party for a few months then fight another no hoper then grow that beer gut again for a few months

The rest are a bunch of cowards
