    He may not be that big per se, but he’s 5’11” and in 2021 he said his walk around weight was 150lbs, it must be heavier now. Not an exaggeration at his age and height, that he now walks around 160. If that’s the case, he definitely doesn’t belong under 140lbs. And a 146lb rehydration would be very detrimental to him.

    On the other hand, bigger fighters should stop trying to squeeze down so much. It’s on them to make weight in a healthy manner. If he wants to keep fighting Lightweights to bully them and one of those Lightweights decides to restrict his weight to Lightweight size…that’s on him.

    Not siding with either, just saying, yes Tank is showing he’s scared…but Ryan Garcia is also weight bullying at this point. They’re both trying to get an advantage over the other. But Tank isn’t allowing Ry to have that full size advantage.
    Haha detrimental.... You don't even know how he feels. If it's that detrimental, ryan would not even take the fight. He could make 135 and let's not forget tank is also trying to make a lower weight as he has competed at a higher weight before. It's actually fair.

      His last two fights were at 140lbs but he can make 135lbs?

      • He's not drained and the rehydration clause is 146, basically coming in at the WW weigh in limit. 2 divisions above 135.

        He'll be fine.

          He fought Tagboe (Lightweight) at a 137 or 138lb catchweight

          Essentially, he's trying to fight Lightweights at Junior Welterweight

              That doesn’t matter.

              My point is his last two fights have been at Jr WW. 138 1/2 is Jr WW.

              Tank has fought and won a belt at 140. Versus a guy of similar size as Garcia.

                Just because he fought at that weight, doesn't mean that's his natural weight class.

                Floyd fought Canelo at JMW despite it being at a 152 or 153 lb catchweight. He then went right back down to WW. Would it have been smart for Floyd, a natural WW or JWW to fight Golovkin at 154?

                Pac fought Marg at "JMW". Was Pac a JMW?

                Is Canelo a Light Heavyweight because he sought greatness?

                point is, going up in weight, trying a new weight class in search of greatness doesn't make that your weight class

                Tank would be the 3rd Lightweight in a row that Ryan has tried to fight at JWW

                You guy's get on Tank for being a weight bully, then turn around and applaud Garcia for doing the same thing 3 times in a row

                  Floyd didn't change his weight, None of those you named did. All of those you listed, it wasn't about themselves, it was about making their opponents weak. Which is what this BS with Tank and Ryan is about.

                    That's exactly what Ryan is trying to do with Tank. Tank started his career at 126. Tried the waters at 140 and it wasn't for him. In result, Ryan tries to pull him up in weight.

                    Weren't you the one saying Tank gets no props for beating LSC because LSC came from a smaller weight class and 135 wasn't naturally for him?

                    But you'd give Ryan props for the same thing?

                    How many times did you crap on Loma for beating a blown up Rigo? ZERO

                    I see the pattern here

                      And what do you mean Floyd and Pac didn't change their weight?

                      When has Floyd ever weighed 149 lbs for a welterweight fight?
