Comments Thread For: Vasiliy Lomachenko-Jamaine Ortiz: Deal Reached For October Lightweight Clash

[Combat Talk Radio]

It's a sport. Guys like Davis fight a string of no-hopers and have guys like you thinking they are great. You are the problem with boxing these days. Satisfied watching boxers pad their bank accounts while chumps like you pay for it. Isn't the purpose of a sport to find out who the best is? It's completely possible to be the best and earn the most. Floyd did that. Davis has not done that. You'll keep making excuses for him, tho

The flaw in your rant is, we've never called Davis "great".

Bottom line, fighters either do it because they enjoy it or they do it for the money.

They don't care how you feel about them.

Tank is a prizefighter. He fights for a prize.

Floyd Mayweather already explained how that works.

The goal of every boxer is not to just fight whatever 'eye test' people on social media ask for.

IT's to make MONEY.

That's why guys like Vinny Paz who fought everyone ended up broke and not in a HOF.

That's ****** though you think every fighter doesn't fight for a "prize" Tank hasn't earned the place to be called a "prize fighter" he hasn't fought anybody and just tricked casuals into thinking he's something special when he isn't didn't his last couple of PPVs flop? the entitlement of modern boxers is hilarious to me.

Rexy- Herring was beyond done. Now Rolly imo, that was a Haymon special.

No one is pretending he’s special. I posted specifically what my issue was. I also reminded everyone that Rolly was ranked.

My point still stands. You’ve seen this too. Some guys its ranking, others its not, depending on how much you like or hate a guy.

That is inconsistent BS that we should be able to agree is garbage.

I’ve actually had someone arbitrarily decide Pedraza, who Tank kod when he was undefeated, was better when he fought Loma afterwards.

If you don’t like Tank, Floyd, PBC, Haymon- fine. Lets stop judging Tank’s resume like no one was quality.

He doesn’t have much quality on his resume, but it is what it is. Floyd’s bucket boy wants to protect him. I don’t dislike Tank. I do dislike Eberle and his endless collection of turtlenecks and excuses. Watching Tank in the lead up to Rollie was refreshing. Seemed like he was happy to be a free agent and just being himself. Kid was funny

bringing up ABC rankings are suspect, you know that. Just takes a bribe and you’re good. ****ing Andre Berto was suddenly ranked by the WBA a few months back. Nobody knows why.

If Tank was anyone else, his resume wouldn’t be questioned. That is my issue.

Like Ortiz who is fighting loma next. Hes 1 fight removed from an 8 round draw with a bum. Herring was supposed to get right with him but was shot. Lost and then retired after the upset loss.

That was Haymon. He’s in with the WBA. Same as Bob is in with the WBO.

Oh I know. Every promoter has his favored ABC group. WBC follows Canelo around like an injured puppy and Mauricio makes statements like he’s his ****ing promoter, it’s sickening lol


Tank’s resume gets brought up so much because he’s one of the most popular guys, and Eberle does nothing but make excuses for him. The “he’s young” excuse no longer works. If Tank wasn’t being pushed to the moon, called a three division champ and on PPV for all of his fights, nobody would care. People were pretty indifferent to Shakur until he started fighting top guys. He didn’t get hate because he was just fighting on cable.

im not sticking up for the Ortiz fight. It is what it is, but he beat Herring and SHOULD have a win over Adorno. Not sure who TR has at 135 who would be willing to take the fight.

also, not sure Herring was supposed to get right with him or not. All my sports books opened with Ortiz as the favorite which surprised me. I bet on Herring and saw why lol

You're paying for an inferior product. He holds no real belt and he fights cab drivers. Go ahead and pay for it. DONE. (sucker)
