Comments Thread For: Ryan Garcia Says Tank Will Be "Respected" Even After Loss

[Knuckle sandwich]

Quality wind up from Garcia 10/10

Wouldn’t it be great if all boxers thought like this as they would back in the day , when all the best just wanted to test themselves and if they lose to a top guy either fight him again usually by public demand or fight another top guy . Anthony Joshua should take notice and weak fighters and promoters alike . Roll on April for this 50/50 great contest

Yeah Wilder was courageous by fighting his sparring partner. You are just pathetic and a hypocrite as vast majority of Wilder fans.

RG, first you have to actually dare to step in the ring with Tank. Stop talking.

Disagree. All respect for Tank will fly out the window if he loses to an unaccomplished IG star.

Why when anyone who isn't caught up in Ryan's personal life or social media can see the kid has the talent,skill,drive and stature/size to become a very accomplished boxer by the time he's done. He has all the attributes to compete/beat anyone at 140 right now and at 147 when he grows into that division.Tank losing here could be just as simple as him losing to a future great/star,no knock in that.

Aside from the social media attention seeking behaviors, Ryan hasn’t shown much to make others believe he takes the sport seriously. He does a great job talking about who he wants to face but has consistently found a reason bail on fights….on multiple occasions. I’m still not fully convinced he’ll share the ring with tank based on his history of backing out on fights/negotiations. This combined with his weak resume thus far makes me believe that him beating tank would cause tank to be devalued by many fans.

Tank will earn respect from real boxing fans if he wins, or if even he loses but puts on a strong effort.

But seems like most of Tank's fanbase value being undefeated and rich more than anything. Once he loses, a lot of his fans willl abandon him and act they were never fans to begin with.

Just like what happened to Broner. A lot of people who have been clowning Broner the last few years were the same ones who hyped him up and predicted he would win fighter of the decade.

its true, guys who are hyped up, if they lose, fans just disappear as quick as they arrived and people who never liked them in the first place will wonder, did he have any real fans at all

cryin ryans meds are working these days hes on the correct dose, he sounds like has a case of the teo's tho so he better watch out or he will crash and burn and the only thing he will end up saying is no mas

Tank will be held in high regard by almost everyone by the end of next year. After he knocks the sugar packets out of Ryan, he plans on taking Haney or Shakur before the year is over.

I hope those fights happen, but "planning on" means nothing in today's boxing environment. I think he would have to fight on ESPN to fight either Shakur or Haney. Maybe he can force a mandatory against Haney. Unfortunately, it's not a big money fight.

Nah, this is Haney's last fight on Top Rank, so there will be nothing in the way.

No way is he taking 35 percent to fight Haney.
