    Kambosos and Haney keep stepping up. Why not Gervonta Davis?

    The last five fights Kambosos has agreed to, oldest to most recent
    Mickey Bey (American former IBF lightweight champ, in the US)
    Lee Selby (British former IBF featherweight champ, in the UK)
    Teofimo Lopez (American reigning unified, lineal lightweight champ, in the US)
    Vasyl Lomachenko (former 3 division champ, fight canceled due to war)
    Devin Haney (undefeated reigning WBC lightweight champ)

    The last five fights Haney has agreed to, oldest to most recent:
    Alfredo Santiago (undefeated prospect)
    Yuriorkis Gamboa (former unified featherweight champion)
    Jorge Linares (former three division world champion)
    Jojo Diaz (former IBF super featherweight champion, reigning WBC interim lightweight champion)
    George Kambosos (reigning lineal, unified lightweight champion, in Australia)

    The last five fights Tank has agreed to, oldest to most recent:
    Leo Santa Cruz (4 division champion)
    Mario Barrios (fake champion)
    Rolly Romero (unranked prospect, fight canceled due to allegations)
    Isaac Cruz (ranked contender)
    Rolly Romero again

    With Haney and Kambosos, both guys keep stepping up.

    With Davis, he seems to be intentionally stepping down in competition.

    You’re really bringing up Mickey Bey, Lee Shelby, and Gamboa? Tank fought Gamboa before Haney did and all everyone did was call it a cherry-pick. Now you’re giving Haney praises for that? Get a life.

      You really don't know how to read, do you?

      Gamboa was the best opponent Haney had faced to thait point and then he faced someone better in old man Linares, then someone better in prime JoJo, then someone better in Kambosos.

      Same for Kambosos. For four straight fights he agreed to face the best opponent of his career, culminating in Lomachenko who had to turn down the fight due to war. But instead of picking a bum to replace him, he picked the best available contender in Haney.

      Whereas Tank's best win was Jose Pedraza over five years ago. He's fighting a guy next who is worse than his previous opponent.

      Get it now?

      Kambosos and Haney took several fights to get to the world level, but once they got there they didn't step back down. Tank got to the world level several years ago and stepped down from there intentionally.

          Are they really on the world level? I don’t think so.

            Haney was chasing WBC whether he got it on Email or not, Teo for the belts, Kambosos for the belts and now an undisputed fight between Haney and Kambosos for undisputed.

            Tank is fighting Rolly fkking Romero and his handlers have been bragging about not caring about facing the best and how dumb Tank fans are so it doesn't even matter.

            To be fair it does sound like Tank is getting a bit fed up of it too, I hope his promotional threats will either give Floyd and Lenny a kick in the balls to do better for Tank or he does actually dump them.

              Tank has a fan base that requires nothing of him. I get it, why take chances if you don't have to?
