Tank Played himself by cherrypicking instead of chasing smoke, told you cherrypicking doesn't pay, everyone surprised hasn't been paying attention

[TernceBudCharlo]

Tank don't want any smoke if he really believes that Haney and Shakur are easy work then fight them next. He been knocking out bums just like GGG in his prime except he don't look spectacular doing it, get hit way too much, loses rounds.

[GhostofDempsey]

Tank, much like his daddy Floyd, has tapped into the market of smoke and mirrors. Hype a potential opponent, make him look or appear better than he really is, then hype and market the fight as a competitive scrap. Toss in some clout chasing by insisting the best guys in each division aren't worthy, and you have a hype job in the making. He takes on low-risk, high reward fights and couldn't care less about titles or actually being the best. So long as the checks are coming in and he can preserve that precious "0" in the loss column that's all that matters. Every so often catch a big name on their way up or on their way down, safely removed from their very best and they'll milk this for the duration of his career.

This wasn't a cherry pick...
If anything Rolly was the cherry pick, if you look at Cruz fights you would know this was gonna be a tough fight, I think people just thought Tank would still get the KO due to Cruz aggressiveness

Tank is #8 in the TBRB ratings. Cruz is #6. How is it a "cherry pick" to fight someone rated higher than you?

What makes you believe Arum would be willing to send Shakur to PBC?

This question is so dumb it doesn't warrant a response. But here it goes anyways,Cruz was a cherrypick because he was tiny & undersized/tailor made to Tank & because Tank was only not highly rated at lw because he wasn't fighting at lw, virtually nobody picked Cruz to win(besides me, but me picking him was because I knew Tank is as overrated as they come & a slowly fattening hypejob)

I wish you would've posted your belief that its not a cherrypick in my thread about "when this cherrypick goes wrong don't say it was cause Tanks fighting elites"

No Monday morning quarterbacking bruh,this was a cherrypick gone wrong

What I'm saying is, he was fighting Rolly then chose to fight Cruz as a replacement who was a little better than Rolly.

So it's not a cherry pick in my book, it was a last minute replacement for a guy who we thought would get blasted anyway. I don't expect nobody to chose someone 3 steps above the original opponent on short notice.

Now if you wanna talk about his last opponents or intial opponent like Rolly then I will lean towards cherrys

Ok yeah I'll agree that it wasn't a bad short notice choice at all,I just wanted to be clear that elite Cruz was not at all.(I actually thought Rolly could've won too, especially even more now)

Oh okay we on same page, I think Rolly has more chance to get stopped but more Chance to score KO. He too wild, I think he would have got stopped
