Tank is 25. If he fights the top guys at 135 and I presume you mean guys like Haney, Garcia, Kamboso and beats them, would your thoughts change?
Boots Ennis is considered the hottest prospect at 147. Would you say he’s over rated? Would you say he doesn’t beat the guy at 147?

If Tank does NOT fight the top guys at 135 in 2022, then one would agree with you. The guy is just 25

He's 27, not 25, and Cruz will be just his third top 10 opponent in 26 fights.

Right now I look at Tank as an Adrian Broner or Brandon Rios. Guys that look good at lower weights but once they stepped up the competition at a higher weight they got exposed.
Lets see what happens when Tank takes a live fight at 135 or higher.

Boxing used to be a sport where you became a top guy by beating the top guys. Not by saying how some guy you fought in sparring thinks you are great.

Sad but totally true.

So how do the other top guys at lightweight fair against Santa Cruz and Barrios??? I honestly think they struggle with them.

who would struggle with a smaller shop-worn feather-fisted Lsc?? How and why? Couldn’t punch even at lighter weights…slow hands/feet…poor defense - how in the world would they struggle? And Barrios is b-level…has no high-quality wins on his record….does nothing special. Dont know what u see in him.

This bumbeater is starting to believe his own propaganda

You are correct. I just read that in the Floyd interview. I was wrong about his age.
I’d wait until 2022 though before I harangue the guy. And I say that in the context of Covid. So many fights haven’t happened because of it.

I got corrected by someone else. I was wrong about his age.
That said, was that the only takeaway you got from my post?

Kambosos has fought Mickey Bey in the US, Lee Selby in the UK, and Teofimo Lopez in the US during the pandemic.

Lomachenko fought Teofimo Lopez, Masayoshi Nakatani, and next week Richard Commey during the pandemic.

No excuses.
