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

[wrecksracer]

No way is he taking 35 percent to fight Haney.

Yeah, that stuff can be negotiated.....but the split would be a problem. Haney is undisputed, but not a draw. Tank doesn't have a real belt, but is a draw. 50/50? I'm not sure Haney goes for it, but it would likely be his biggest money fight.

Garcia talking like an actual champion, the guys who fought decades ago and realized that a loss wasn't the end of a career, and that great fights were how the sport became huge. Floyd was a massively skilled fighter. He ruined the sport by making it "all about the 0". As a result, every fighter is protected to the point of lunacy now. Thus, many great fights aren't made, and the sport is dying as a direct result of that mindset.

if the best fight the best, the sport becomes popular, guys become stars. Rematches and triliogies become legendary. What we have now is a bunch of guys terrified of a defeat, killing the sport and screwing themselves.

Garcia doing lot talk for a fight we dont know for sure will happen, alot moving pieces til april. Not holding breath for this tbh.

I hope this is just the build up. For trash talk, this sounds like ELA society. Please show up, and I'm saying both of them. I like Ryan, his hook is as good as Tanks, he doesn't move as fluid. Tank can dance, carrying a canon.

Ryan sure does think very highly of himself for someone that never accomplished anything in the sport or even held a World title.

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.

What are you some kind of expert on Tanks fans? Don’t quit your day job.

I just keep my eyes open and see the comments his fans make on here and on social media. When people bring up his lack of tough opponents on his resume, Tank's fans always say "at least he's getting paid big" as an excuse for him.

He's fun to watch and he knocks people out, but you're ignoring the obvious if you don't think his 0 makes him marketable. He's Floyd's protege for God's sake. If his 0 didn't mean much, he would have had taken more risky fights by now.

A lot of Tank fans happen to be ex-Broner fans who hopped off the bandwagon as soon as Maidana embarrassed him, you're probably one of those "fans."

Didn't Tank Davis have his court date on December 12? Does anyone know what happened? I can't find any news of it.

This dude literally ran from world title shots......Davis is going to bounce him off the canvas like the twink he is
