The disrespect to his boxing skills is unwarranted. Hate is so blinding that they don’t see how this is how all the greats in the past moved. Hagler, Hearns, and Leonard didn’t fight each other back to back like everyone paints now a days. And in the meantime, they were fighting decent and difficult B level fighters who brought their best. Tanks greatness will be appreciated when he’s long retired. -
Well from what I seen and read:
-Leo Santa Cruz and Hector Garcia belonged at the 126 and 130 divisions struggling to hurt opposition at the lower weight classes.
-Isaac Cruz had no experience at the elite level having to replace Rolly Romero in a three week notice.
-Jose Pedraza was undefeated but never really beaten anyone of note after his loss, only winning against a shot Raymundo Beltran
-Mario Barrios never really fought at the elite level until Tank and Thurman, having to really struggle for a controversial decision win against Akhmedov.
-Rolando Romero never had much skill inside the ring. Biggest win is a controversial victory over Jackson Marinez and recently got pummeled by a super featherweight prospect.
-Yoerkis Gamboa after his defeat to Crawford he became highly unactive as he lost to a journeyman in Robinson Castellanos right after, he also had a very controversial win against Jason Sosa who was knocked out by Berchelt and retired two shot fighters including Roman Martinez before facing Tank.
-Ryan Garcia currently has a catchweight and rehydration Garcia despite just being a contender rather than a world champion. Tank also has a rematch clause and had a tune up.
Unless there is some context I am missing. I am not sure how this is respectable.Last edited by Malvado; 03-11-2023, 10:38 PM.Comment

Let's start with Loma
Salido - Lost to Salido who had 12 losses
Linares - Was dropped by a shot to schit Jorge Linares who already had 3 losses. In fact, after the Loma fight, he's been 3-5 since
Pedraza - made Loma look like hh was in a car accident. All this after Tank already knocked him outmaxresdefault.jpg
T. Lopez - Lost to a fighter with only 15 fights. That's like losing to Rolly Romero. Teo went on to lose to Kambosis who got gift decisions over Mickey Bey and Selby.
G. Ortiz - Got a gift decision against Germaine Ortiz
Rigo - was 5'2 and could barely see over a kitchen table. Hasn't really had a notable professional win outside of maybe Donaire. Was wayyy too small for Loma. He's essentially lived off what he did in the amateursLast edited by Chollo Vista; 03-11-2023, 11:02 PM.Comment

-Gave away the initial rounds away to a 22 year old contender who didn't have much experience, if he were injured at the moment since it was overstated by his team numerous times, he shouldn't have taken the fight, that's on him.
-Rigo was clear cherry Pick considering the size disparity, he was a natural bantamweight.
-Convincingly still won against Pedraza but I still admit is not really much of a win. Plus, he had already experienced his loss in worse fashion to Gervonta.
But!:
-Lost to a grizzled veteran in his second match who was targeting his nuts as if he stole his lunch money.
-Linares was in a twelve-win streak with wins over Campbell and Anthony Crolla who at the time were top 10 contenders.
(The division wasn't that stacked at the time.)
-Jermaine Ortiz could had easily won, but thought Loma pull it off despite his subpar performance.Last edited by Malvado; 03-11-2023, 11:21 PM.Comment
