    physically Tank would prefer 147. He probably walks around 160. Mayweather makes him fight at the lighter weights for good reason.
    I really don’t think the fight will be made.
    We all saw a no talent guy chasing Tank around like a scared little girl.
    Tank should stick to unknown opposition or retired OLD boxers

      Ryan is a lightheavy on fight night. Can literally be 175, like his other bro Zurdo Ramirez (+30 pounds on fight night). Nobody should give him 5 more pounds. If you read my posts, I don't mind Davis fighting big guys at 140, selectively, like Taylor, but not Ryan.

      Nobody considered him a superlight until he told Davis the fight would've to be at 140. He doesn't deserve that advantage and won't be accommodated. If he wants the fight, listen or read what Floyd says. Ball is thrown back to Ryan.

      Take the fight or STFU.

        Why can't it be at 135?

        The taller guy wants it at 140, no surprise there.

          no way. Ryan is 145-150 lbs. He's a twig. I don't even think the Charlo bros fight night weight is 175

            It's like the boy who cried wolf too long. Time to man up.

            Some people say the split should be 80/20, but personally, I don't like boxers being that far out. ANY boxer. If I were the Commission, I wouldn't approve that kinda split. They need to make money too. That's unethical. Given the reality of both fighters, 30% on everything for Ryan would be my final ruling. Let's see if Gervonta or team contradict me. I'm trying to help the process along. How about that, Ryan?

            The only guy that might come back with some BIG BS is Oscar. Open the door there, professionally.

            Someone told me Ryan never intended to take this fight and that he's just clout chasing. I'll give Ryan until mid to the end of the week. The best money fight for him ever, and if he can beat Gervonta, he'd be a superstar. Time is ticking Ryan.

            Otherwise, you'll be known as the biggest duckling hoe in boxing and on social media too.

                Nobody wants to appear like they are weak. That goes for Tank too. Tank is a small guy with power. So was Tyson but NOBODY is afraid of Tank for a reason.
                Garcia is a young kid who can squeeze down to 135 MAYBE. I think they will offer a ****tty offer hoping he walks away, then say Garcia is scared. It’s worked worked before in boxing.
                Tanks ONLY advantage is staying at 130 and fighting Charlo type opponents and that’s exactly what he does and he gets paid well to do it so why change???

                  Why wouldn't it be? Ryan is the B side in this fight. From what I remember, Ryan wasn't the one who asked for the Fortuna fight to be at 140, it was Fortuna. If Ryan was going to fight below 140 for Javier then why wouldn't he for Tank?

                      175 on fight night? That’s funny stuff. I could see 160, maybe, but that’s a stretch
