Comments Thread For: Mayweather To Garcia: If You Wanna Fight Tank At 135, We Can Make It Happen Before End Of Year

Oh man, I can already see it...the new catchphrase fanatics will cling to is "We turn down our collars, you know, but we ain’t gonna turn down no money."

[War Room]

If fight happens and Ryan finishes round 7 intact, I will call him TBE forever.
He'll be completely demolished and discarded. Stretcher will be needed.

Bookmarked for later.

Mayweather's getting old. He missed a trick with this line...

We turn down our collars, you know, but we ain’t gonna turn down no money.

2007–2010 Mayweather would've said "We turn down our collars, but we ain't gonna turn down no dollars", followed by something about gorillas and dogs.

Damn - 135, 135, 135, 135, I made sacrifices…135, 135, 135, I made sacrifices..135, 135, 135…

"You just fought at 135? So, why can’t you fight at 135 again?" Floyd's argument is not based on reality.

Others have chimed in that Garcia has fought at 135 his whole career.

Some facts:
Garcia is a young fighter.
Fighters naturally increase in weight as they age.His two most recent fights have been at 140lbs and he has not fought at 135lbs since January 2021, when he was 22.
I think it's fair to say, therefore, that he has legitimately move up to 140lbs.
I also think it's fair to say that Tank cotinues to operate at 135lbs and it is unrealistic to expect him to move up, even though he has operated at 140lbs once before.

One of them will have to concede something if they want they fight.

Solid post. Ryan just looks weak calling him out at 140 after just avoiding Haney at 135 as well.

If you cant make 135, call out legitimate 140lb fighters. Don’t call out LW’s and tell them to move up.

Teo is a big name and at 140. Why not call him out to make that fight? Ramirez? Zapeda?

Ryan made a mistake coming back at 138 and having his last fight at 140. The last time he made 135 was over a year ago against Luke Campbell. Tank's team knows making 135 will be a struggle for Ryan, and technically Tank is a 135 fighter even though he has successfully fought at 140.

I call this... not a duck (from either guy). These guys are effectively fighting in different divisions and can't reasonably be expected to fight each other.

It’s called water weight and yeah you clearly don’t know wtf you talking about… Floyd was called pudgy when he fought Marquez, Oscar was called pudgy when he fought strum, pac was called pudgy fighting mayweather and the Cuban, Hopkins was called pudgy when he fought Johnson and tarver…. The list goes on and on

It’s a little more than just water weight Sherlock.
Ok brainiac let’s break down the word pudgy in your contexts of the usage applied to those fighters you mentioned. Replace the word “pudgy” with “OLD”.
PRIME fighting weight of Mayweather was 130. PRIME Oscar was 135. PRIME Hopkins was 160. PRIME Pac was 135ish.

[The Casual]

Ryan's team should call Floyd's bluff and watch him say the fight can't be made if DAZN is involved.

[Floyd is TBE]

Tank better make sure to take his cut up front if it does happen. Can't just Garcia's bum ass not to pull out of a fight.

[BoxingIsGreat]

Lol you ever see a normal and healthy 5’10” 135 person in your life? Gimme a break. I don’t care who you are that is not a healthy and natural weight at that height. If it were a chick we’d call her bulimic

So he was taking advantage of these smaller guys all this time?
