    Pedraza was very competitive with Loma, even made him into an elephant man. Davis got rid of Pedraza dismissively. Doesn't even compare.

        Since Tank and his team refuse to step up in competition we are left to using triangle theories I see. No reason to fight Loma then is there,yes!!! Thurman being "lined up" for Tank?!?! Yea sure....

            With Tank I see a guy who drops quite a few rounds and his power is pulling him out of the fire at times. He reminds me of Naseem Hamed in that way, Tank just has more technique.

            When he comes up against someone who is in their prime, has elite skills and boxing ability - don't be surprised if he gets near shut out, and the power doesn't bail him out

              My issues with Tank Davis are not what he has done it's what his management claim he is not going to do. I have no complaints about who Ta k has faced, going up to 140 to fight Barrios was a solid test which he passed with flying colours.

              If the future for Tank is taking on the best at what ever weights he wants to fight at then I have nothing to complain about. If he chooses to fight below that level I will be frustrated but if he refuses to even try to have those big fights but have him and his managers claim those top guys would be easy work I will complain about him.

                Tank didn't really look that great against Isaac Cruz.

                  Pedraza landed more on tank than he did on Loma. One fighter that damages easier doesn't mean anything. especially when Pedraza fought going forward and pushing Tank back while he was running away from Loma fighting scared. Interesting he came forward vs the puncher but against Loma he was running around the ring.

                  Very competitive but Loma won 11 rounds lol. How you score a fight doesn't mean anything since your bias bleed through every fight.

                    This is what happens when fans cannot be honest with themselves about a fighter’s lack of accomplishment. They go to great lengths trying to make something out of nothing.

                      Tank has really surprised me, I thought Teo, Cryan, Devin were going to rule the 135-140, specifically Devin, I thought Tank was gifted but didn't think he would reach his potential due to his work ethic at the time, also with his outside boxing trouble issues, MoneyMay has really steered his mind the right way into whats best for Tank, Tank was trying to fight Floyd lol thats how much Floyd was bugging him, his fights with Leo and Barrios you could say he bailed out with his power but those guys were complacent, but vs Cruz even though it was an even fight he fought back against a real hungry threat like I knew Cruz would test him, I didn't give Tank much chance to rise against these other guys

                      ​​​​​​
                      Now Teo has been beat up and shamed lol, Cryan has declined from the rise he had with all his crying and supposed depression but he's really been partying a bit and doesn't seem to want to really push into a boxing career, Devin has become a super diva twitter fingers with no resume and little Tank who I thought would be done by now, has really straightened his career/life up and is now a huge boxing success, all these young fighters got big success a bit to early for now days, hopefully they all straightened out and we get some entertaining boxing these following years
