Is Tank Davis the new Terence Crawford?

[Hatesrats]

I follow Tank and have been a fan of the kid since day one. But his comp makes me still see him as a prospect as opposed to a SUPER STAR like they are trying to force upon us.

His potential is definitely there... It's management's fault if they let his prime years run out while Davis is still at his best.

Tank has won one legitimate world title belt and a bunch of fake ass ones.

Crawford was the lineal king at 135, the undisputed lineal king at 140, and has a legitimate belt at 147.

People get carried away crapping on Crawford because his resume at 147 is weak but he completely cleaned out 135 and 140. Nobody becomes a two division lineal champion by accident, I don't care what era or what weight classes.

I'm a fan of him as a boxer too. And think he might very well be the best of the bunch at 135 lbs.

But he hasn't proven it yet. So Teofimo deserves the top ranking there until someone shows otherwise.

tank is biding his time & is going to fight the people he wants to fight when he wants to fight them, if not then he could have beaten loma, or he could have lost, & would have been fighting teo next if he won & he would have all the belts if he came through those two, instead he is making good money fighting much easier fights building his brand and seems pretty happy with that too i have to say

Eerily similar to how Terence Crawford was happy making easy money in the Top Rank Protection Program.

Yes, as fans we would have loved to have seen tank v loma, imagine the buildup and hype to that one! wow, personally i dont know if tank could have handled been beaten by loma, i mean it would have ruined his rep, he would never live it down yet he could have also beaten him with the right strategy too, floyds strategy as he said he had for him i think but i also understand tanks plans, dont jump into the deep end and hope to swim, take it slowly, i mean he driving sports cars and a ppv draw, im sure he sleeps just fine at night, hes also making money for floyd so the atmosphere in the camp is good, not much incentive to take big risks at the moment anyway

crawford has his shot now, which is great, porter is no easy fight, crawford is a hard to read guy, he wins his fights well but leaves u wanting more from him, this is his 3rd weight class so maybe hes thinking about that, i dont know really

Where the eye test indicates that he might be the best in his weight class, but he doesn't ever actually fight the opponents to prove it?

Tank sells out arenas.


....I need say nothing else.

Crawford sold out arenas in Omaha too. Right?

Crawford sold out arenas in Omaha too. Right?

No, he actually didn't. Close, but not complete shut-down-the-block sellouts.

Tank shuts down the Strip any time he fights here.

[IronDanHamza]

Crazy comparison

Crawford has cleaned out divisions.

Has Tank even beat a Top 10 ranked fighter? If he has he hasn't fought many, less than 2 or 3.
