    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
    Answer this question from the beginning of my previous post: Why aren't those guys doing what you are asking of Davis and his promoters? Where are the offers Gervonta rejected? People should stop crying about this guy.

      Why do people even talk crap like the OP?

      At least give it some time, damn.

      All of the fighters at 135 had a fight either scheduled or just finished a fight.

      1. Teofimo-Kambosos
      2. Haney-Linares
      3. Linares-Haney
      4. Loma-Nakatani (on the same day as Tank)
      5. Ryan taking a break from boxing.

      Fans are weirdos. I take that back. Haters are the ultimate weirdos. Because you don't even logically look at the landscape. Guys either already fought a month before or already scheduled fights out.

      Other than Ryan Garcia, everyone else already had things in motion. Even then, Ryan dodged a Tank fight to have an exhibition match, then quit an exhibition match and received a Fortuna mandatory, then dodged his mandatory for mental health anxiety reasons.

      Sheesh.

        Forever... because Floyd is selfish and has said the risk of someone else becoming succesful as a promoter because of a co-promotion is not something he is willing to take. The squirt needs to be #1 and Tank is simply a means to an end... Floyd is more or less, becoming what he ran from with Arum.

          Because all these guys who are young at a lightweight... Lopez, Garcia, Tank, Haney... will grow. They have not even gained their man strength yet in many cases.

            Better yet: Fighters get together, don't use promoters who always are an expense and have their own interests...Take a page from two guys who probably have a low IQ, are not particularly attractive BUT know how to use social media... and have made a fortune, one of them not even fighting boxers and claiming to be a boxer... PROMOTE YOUR OWN FIGHTS! Tell Floyd, Arum, Hearn, and all of them to fck off.

                So, spread the blame equally?

                  Ok but Tank is a SFW, not a full LW yet. He’s taken a few fights above 130, same as many guys have taken fights above their actual weight class.

                  It seems only with Tank do posters ask about him fighting guys above his weight.

                  seems like something else TBH.
