Davis lost badly to Pitbull Cruz although he was adjusting towards the end. Mayweather lost way worse to JL Castillo but Tank still lost 115-113 being generous. With Garcia, Tank would have to get inside. He can't wait for Ryan to rush in and counter him because Ryan can attack with great speed and power from well outside of Tank's effective range. Tank will have to move in, and he can't fight moving forward against guys with speed and/or power both of which Ryan has. TMT has done Tank zero favors with the careful matchmaking...but then again they will be doing him a huge favor when they drag this match out until Ryan moves on. Tank's days are numbered. He's too small for 140 and 135 is getting hot. He's out of patsies to fight. Tank will NOT be undefeated this time next year unless he lets TMT keep protecting him.
Gervonta Davis has benefited both ways from publicity and hatred of FLOYD JR, Ni way Garcia beat Davis at this point. If Luke Campbell can catch Garcia then its total black out by Beast mode Davis. Garcia ain't got Rolly power nor have experience of Leo and neither the tenacity of Pitbull. Dela Hoya and Bernard Hopkins sure knows more. 100% KO for Gervonta Davis inside the distance
I agree with much of what Haney says here. It is a good ass fight. Both guys are capable of hurting each other. I'd be surprised if it happened any time soon, very surprised.
I rate Tank more as an overall fighter but Garcia is a tough match up stylistically with his height, length, speed and power. It will be difficult and dangerous for Tank to get to him. On the other hand Tank only has to get to him once and it could be over. Tough one to pick.
neither of them will fight anyone, not sure why people are so interested in that lightweight division, fact garcia, tank, haney and stevenson are all undefeated tells you everything
I don’t think so. Tank is a good puncher but certainly not a huge puncher. Best power shot is an uppercut. His opposition has been questionable to put it mildly.
i understand that his opponents haven’t been what the public wants. The public wants each and every fighter to fight Top 3 guys in the division, EVERY fight. It’s ridiculous. Tank doesn’t have that big name on his resume, I get it. But there are some high ranking fighters and champions on there. Barrios, Santa Cruz, Pedraza when he wasn’t damaged goods, etc.
Look at every fighter in that range tho. The only fighters that have a big name on their resume is Loma and Lopez, in each other. Haney, Garcia, Tank haven’t mixed it up yet. We’ve basically only had ONE fight in the division that is acceptable in the eyes of most. Having said that, we can’t hate on Tank for things that we don’t hate on the rest of those guys for.

Tank isn't Luke Campbell. Luke is the better boxer of the 2,is about 6 inches taller and nearly the same in reach advantage over Tank. Tank will have a lot more difficulty getting in range to land a similar shot. He's more explosive than Luke sure but is willing to put himself in harms way to attempt it? He really didn't seem to keen on doing so against Barrios or Rolly. So to say "if so and so can land so can x fighter" doesn't make it so. Not even worth entertaining your "he ain't got rolly power" comment lol.....
