    We need to give Tank some credit

    Say what you want about his level of opposition, but the truth is is Pedraza messed Loma's face up pretty bad in a 12 round fight and Barrios made Keith spit his mouthpiece out

    Tank is a pretty damn good fighter with a not bad resume at all. Isaac Cruz is another that might beat your favorite fighter.

    Tank's resume will grow once some of the guys he's already beaten start fighting better competition. If Pedraza beats Ramirez, I wonder what the people will say then?

    Edit: I forgot to mention that Haney couldn't drop over the hill Gamboa once. Tank hit him so hard he broke his ankle

    Of course, I'm biased, but I totally agree. Thurman is being lined up for Davis at 147. Keith should've fought at 154 5 years ago.

      Maybe Keith can fight Rolly next after Gervonta evaporates him.

        It's been several surgeries and nearly seven years since Thurman stopped anyone. It's been five years since he beat a ranked opponent.

          His punches were booming tonight. He looked pretty good. Thurman is a good boxer, and that's it.

            His Power is Real, I don't think anybody denies that, then this is Boxing Scene Forum, home of where the absolutely worst Boxing Fans Ever gather and Troll so yeah I'm sure it is some who still deny Tank's Power

              You think Keith would do better at 154?

                Lets be fair, Barrios won up to 6 rounds against Tank and 1 round IF that, tonight. He got completely outclassed whereas against Tank it was very competitive. And this was a tune-up fight for Keith after damn near 3 years out, just a little stat padder on his resume.

                Also Pedraza got dominated against Loma, which again is just a decent win on Loma's resume, nothing he or his fans brag about.

                Not to say Barrios and Pedraza aren't good fighters, or that Tank isn't a TOP fighter, but he hasn't fought any TOP competition yet, it's okay to say that.

                  Not now. Maybe if he went there long ago, now not so much.

                    End result is different. For Davis, 3 KDs before stoppage. Thurman wasn't as good.
