Comments Thread For: De La Hoya On Garcia-Tank Negotiations: 'We're Talking, It's A Great Start'

[jonnyc420]

Rolly got called a "dumb ass fighter" by Tank, then proceeded to walk that man down before getting nailed by a perfectly timed shot.

Which, by the way, was how Pac/Marquez 4 ended.

Rolly will be an A-Side because he draws casual money with his gimmick. Same as Blair Cobbs.

And frankly, Rolly made Tank respect the power, which turns the Garcia fight into a toss-up, because Ryan is faster than Rolly with similar power.

Not at all comparable to Pac/Marquez, much higher skill level, what an insult to some actual legends. Rolly was picked because he was safe another easy out for Porky. He is no draw at all which is why that PPV was another flop. He will always be an opponent who was exposed prior to Porky saved by favorable judging. Never thought I'd meet a fan of his, figured everybody knew what a joke that guy is.

Hope it gets done, but I have a gut feeling Showtime will kill this fight because they are not going to budge on the PPV platform.

I’d like to make a point that BOTH these men are very talented. That said, NEITHER is a RJJ, Mayweather, Pacquiao, Mosley or Delahoya.
Which means, that the public wants this fight and I GUARANTEE you 5 years from now NEITHER man will be undefeated. So they better do it quickly before they loose that money.

[Fact]

This fight is not happening, Espinoza has already made it clear that it is either his way or the highway.

Cong**** to both fighters if the fight gets made. Im not holding my breath but still...

BUT, I think most times its not the fighters who refuse or accept. Ryan cant make the fight happen unless Oscar is on board. Crawford couldn't make anything happen without Arum.

Yet Crawford isn't with Arum and there's still no fight, yet Devin managed to get one done in record time.

Spence did an interview basically saying that Crawford was still asking for too much ("I'll take my jacket off, but i ain't giving it to you") , and Crawford is on record multiple times demanding "60-40 to me or NO FIGHT!" despite Spence holding three of the belts with five Top 5 prime welterweight victories.

As far as Ryan goes, Oscar had that boy convinced that he was going to get Pacquiao, which that whole fiasco is the reason we're in this mess with Spence and Crawford. Because if Manny had fought Spence like he was booked to, Ugas would have gone after Crawford, Ugas beat Crawford in the ams and would have been a significant challenge for Crawford, more than "two bad hips" Porter and without a triggered trainer.

Also, Ryan was supposed to fight Tank but dropped it, which caused Tank to settle for lesser opposition while waiting it out.

Call Out Tank, Call Out Tank

but quietly trying to make a fight with Maxi Hughes...you can't make this **** up

GBP and Ryan Garcia are USING Tank Davis name nothing more nothing less because while Ryan is popular on Social Media, he is not respected AT ALL in the world of boxing so all he is doing is calling out Tank after every fight pretending like he wants to fight but GBP don't want him to lose that 0 right now

I think the same with Bivol and Zurdo, I think they calling out Bivol but I have my doubts they actually put Zurdo in with Bivol but I hope I'm wrong and both those fights get made but Oscar is going to put up BS Road Blocks and will try to act like his fighters are the A Side and ruin everything

[NC Uppercut]

Damn it Oscar, keep it out of the media if you want this to happen. Words will get twisted and nobody likes to see a negotiation in the media. Save it for the round table please !

[sicko]

[Donnie Herrera]
