His resume doesn't match what a generational fighter should have though. Floyd and that in house sheeit is holding Tank back. I would like to see Tank fight Ryan Garcia, Haney and Lomachenko. Upping the competition level would do Tank good instead of fighting bums like Rolly.

Sure it does.
Pedraza - Only one to stop him. Loma and Ramirez failed to do so
Cruz - The eye test says he's a monster who gives top 3 at 135 problems. Davis beat him with one hand
Barrios - Tank stopped him. Mario had Thurman running around the ring holding his stomach
LSC - Future Hall of Famer. I think he's still sleep
Romero - Fight will age in Tanks favor
Cueller - Former champ

LSC is a future Hall of Famer. Is Rigo? Helllllll no
I fail to see how the above names are relevant to the discussion. You said Loma gets praise for beating Rigo (which he doesn't get that much praise in reality) and that people **** on Tanks win against LSC. I was comparing LSC to Rigondeaux. Rigo is a much better boxer than LSC. He was P4P for a time, and was doing things that shocked the boxing world. He had a remarkably win against Donaire, a future first ballot hall of famer. The only reason why people crap on that win was due to Loma being taller than Rigo. But then people like to praise Lopez for beating Loma, when the size difference is about the same, maybe even worse.
So I'm just putting things in perspective. Really, had the fight been more competitive, the narrative would be different. The only reason why people don't think of it as a good win was primarily because of how dominant Loma was in that fight. But before the bell rang, you have the usual suspects saying that Rigo was going to destroy Loma. So hindsight give people the opportunity to try to change the narrative.
Also, Loma never cared about the Rigo win. He said that Rigo was too small. It's true but it's also Loma being humble. He never wanted that fight. It was the fans that wanted that fight and pushed for it. Loma tried to fight Rigo when he was at 126, but Rigo kept turning it down, even though Rigo had several fights at 126.
