The objective measure is he has fought 1 top 5 ranked fighter in their weight class his entire career in 27 fights. Eye test is easy to pass fighting lesser fighters. How long is he going to live off the eye test? Tank is the A side. All these guys want to fight him. Why can't he tell his handlers, make me this fight?

Ryan fights nothing like Rolly and there's a gulf in skill,speed and power difference between the two. If you didn't catch the post fight interview,Ryan's well aware of his opponents thinking they can setup that same shot/trap as Luke. He's pretty smart and aware of what's taking place in that ring and it shows. He's never going to show Canelo level head movement in there but he doesn't need to. That speed,power and awareness can take him to that level regardless. Very few great fighters in boxing history checked every box of you think about it. It only takes being great at 2 or 3.Comment

Mark the words of the Great Nash. Tank is one the the best of all time to ever lace them up and will never lose. Garcia is a helluva fighter and Nash thinks that he has earned the right to fight Isaac Cruz. Cruz, a future HOF (again, mark the words of the Great Nash) will win, but Garcia is a worthy opponent for Cruz. Nash out.Comment

The fight won't happen, Floyd will put a block on it.
There is an obvious sizeable enough market that happily pays to watch Tank destroy scrubs. Both him and Floyd, Ellerbe are happily milking it for all its worth.
Its a damn circus.

100%. When the skill level are neck and neck, it comes down to size.
You're not wrong at all.Comment

I’ll never understand the hate for Tank. He’s a highly skilled fighter and athlete. His personality is quiet and damn near timid. His amateur record is 200+ with only 15 losses. He made it out of one of the worst cities on this side of the earth. And you compare him to Wilder?
Do you know boxing? Do you know how to recognize boxing skill and ability? I agree he hasn’t fought the competition we want him to but I doubt that’s because of him.
Loma, Haney, Shakur, Teo, and Ryan have all said on record that Tank would be their biggest challenge. Those are the top boxers on the planet. If Tank wasn’t meeting the eye test. None of those guys would say that. Especially Loma who is respected and isn’t interested in hype or games…just fighting the top guys.
Just stop the hate and analyze the fight based on objective measures…for God sake.Comment
