    Didn't Tank say he was going to concentrate on 130-135 after the Barrios fight? How is it a duck for Taylor if they don't fight? Taylor is thinking about moving up, Tank is thinking about moving back to 135.

    Tank could've called out Josh Taylor but didn't. Tank is ducking, with Ellerbe trying to say nobody knows Taylor so that's why they wouldn't fight him. Tank is ducking the top fighters at 130, 135, and 140.

      How is the ball in Taylor's court....when Mayweather/Haymon clearly stated he's only fighting fighters from the same umbrella to steer him away from any credible threats??

        Yup lol,it's comical the hype he's getting from his stans after beating a C-level fighter in Barrios. All this weak comp is doing him no favors as one day they're going to **** up,pick the wrong cherry and he gets Maidana'd....

          some people in the boxing industry are the ones that fanboy out the hardest because they might get some of that tank money at some point so they pretend his garbage fights are legit and dont want to call him out for clear cherrypicking. barrios was 6'1 and fought his azz off! soon he will be 6'5!

            Gervonta Davis: "I'll go up to 140 for the right fight (Taylor). If not then it's 130 and 135"


            ^^^ Read between the lines.

            He practically called Taylor out given that is the only fight that matters at140.

            So yes the ball is in Taylor's court. Either he starts negotiating with the other top dog/cash cow of the division or he just plays it safe and moves up to 147.

            Best believe that the boxing world will recognize it as a clear duck if he chooses the latter.

              Doesn't sound like Tank's promoters want any part of Josh Taylor since "nobody knows who he is."

I don’t think anything will ever come close to those 4 and maybe the closest we’ve gotten was the era of Oscar, Tito, Vargas and Mosley, except Tito and Mosley never fought. Even that group wasn’t nearly as good.





                      yea wtf ?

                      excellent fighters, but 2 of those guys have barely just stepped onto the world stage, and Teo only has one top fight under his belt

                      FACT: when the Four Kings were fighting... they were not referred to as The Four Kings, that only happened in hindsight
