    either you fight at 154 or said weight class or not.

    Let's play devil's advocate. Why was SRL able to fight Lalonde for the Light Heavyweight title at 168?

    Why was Duran vs De Jesus 1 still considered a LW fight, albeit it wasn't for the title?

    When you have a catchweight, they can bill it as anything they like

    Tank vs Ryan was billed as a Lightweight fight (catchweight).

    You're trying to discredit a fighter over .5 pounds
    No, wrong. You don’t understand how the weight classes work.

    147.1-154 - Jr Middleweight

    135.1-140 - Jr Welterweight

    As explained, Duran-DeJesus 1 was a non title fight, not at Lightweight. So again that example makes your point implode on itself so well done there.

    Tank-Garcia wasn’t billed as a lightweight fight because it literally objectively wasn’t a lightweight fight.

      Did you find an adequate source for LSC and Pedraza' s rankings yet? It's been almost 4 days
      I’ve sent you the source for The Ring’s rankings and where those guys were ranked at the time. if you can’t read or comprehend them then that’s a you problem I’m afraid.

      Where do you think those two fighters were ranked? Not the Top 5, were they?

          1. If you understood how weight classes work, you'd know that 150 isn't a weight class

          2. Find any mainstream media outlet from 1972 and you'll see Duran vs De Jesus was labeled as a non titled LW fight.

          3. I've produced 2 articles that labeled Garcia vs Tank as a LW fight. #2 vs #3 LW

          4. You haven't produced one source to support any of your claims. Copying and pasting the boxrec wiki main page isn't providing a source to cite the 4 fighters in question, dummy LMAO

          The fcuk is wrong with you?

            I never said 150 was a weight class. I said if a fight takes place between 147.1 and 154 then it is a Jr Middleweight fight. The fact you need these things explaining to you like you’re a child is worrying. Has the penny dropped or do you need it explaining again?

            Ok and ask yourself why it was a non title fight? Do you have any ideas why that might be? Do you think it might be because it was above the Lightweight limit thus not a Lightweight fight?

            You can produce 100 articles it won’t change the literal fight that Tank vs Garcia wasn’t a Lightweight fight and was fought above the Lightweight limit. Do you know what the word “limit” means?

            Boxrec wiki page? Mate seriously are you genuinely retarded? At this point I think you have to be.

            I didn’t send you a boxrec wiki page, I sent you the link to the Rings annual yearly ratings for the Jr Lightweight division between 2010-2019 which is where Tank had all his fights that year. In that link, you can see where all of the opponents he fought were ranked when Tank fought them by seeing where they were ranked at the end of the previous year to them fighting. I sent you this source on post # 32 and yet here you are still not grasping it You’re a lost cause buddy.

            Why don’t we just get to the bottom of this and you tell me where those two fighters were ranked when Tank fought them at the weight class being fought in? That way we can just get to the conclusion of how many top 5 ranked opponents Tank fought at the division being fought in.

            Go..

              Come on man. Moving a smaller champ up who started as a Bantamweight to Lightweight.. Not impressive

                Fight was at Jr Lightweight and he was long reigning 126 champ so I don’t think it’s bad at all.

                Definitely a good win in my opinion,

                  You do know that this article you posted literally says “Super Lightweight” (Jr Welterweight)

                    You are retarded mate. You just have to be.
                    You clearly have zero room for context in your brain. 3 days ago I literally said "unless you're trying to say that anything over 135 counts as another weight". I literally said that

                    We're talking about .5 pounds. Garcia came in at 135.5

                    You're so desperate to discredit Tanks top 5 win against one of the 4 Kings because you want to cling to .5 pounds

                    If what you were saying about weight classes were true, SRL would've never won the LHW title by fighting his opponent at 168

                    Regardless, you're a sad, no context, desperate mother****ers to be arguing tooth and nail over .5 pounds....

                      There you go.

                      Can you name a Top 5 ranked fighter he beat at the time they fought in the division being fought in? The answer is no because he's yet to beat one.

                      I like Tank, but it's just an objective fact.
                      This isn't how you cite a source you ****** mother****ers LMAO

                      I asked you to cite 4 fighters "at the time" they fought
