    -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.
    How can you give Linares props for Campbell and Crolla, while you crap on Rolly, Cruz, Garcia, Barrios and LSC?

    LSC is a future HOF'er.

    Cruz and Barrios were both top 10

    Hector Garcia was actually bigger than Tank and is still a current champion.

      Always omitting the context. NONE of his opponents were ranked top 5 at the weight Tank fought them. Not a single one. Pitbull Cruz is now ranked top 5 but wasn't when Tank fought him, and no surprise, that was his toughest fight. Tank will be fighting his second top 5 ranked fighter ever in his next fight. Cong**** to Tank for finally fighting someone with a pulse. Tank has a Wilder level protected record.

        For starters, Gamboa was ranked #1 by the WBA. What are you talking about?

        Santa Cruz and Garcia were/are current champions

        Pedraza was CHAMPION

          I am not really stating that they are HOF wins but rather sufficient wins to demonstrate that he was still on his peak. Rolly, Cruz and Barrios didn't really have Marquee fights either.

          Leo Santa Cruz is indeed a HOF, but doesn't belong anywhere near at 135 as he debuted at 118 and only had a fight at 130 ONCE with a journey man called Miguel Flores before facing Tank.

          Hector Garcia wasn't physically much bigger. He was a bit taller but who exactly isn't against Davis.

          Davis-vs-Garcia-Weigh-in-01.06.23_01_07_2023_Weigh-in-1536x1024.jpg.webp

          -When moved up to 130, in his debut fight he had a draw, he only had one knockout over his five fights against a journeyman (20% knockout ratio).
          -Was knocked down by Isaac Avelar (Twice).
          -Went to war with a pillow fisted Chris Colbert.

          I only give him his victory over Roger Gutierrez who was a KO artist at 130, however whenever he was pulled to 135 he lost relatively one sidedly to Hector Tanajara and Oscar Duarte.

          Two who are prospects.

            R. Garcia and Pitbull Cruz are #3 and #4 ranked by The Ring right now.

            H. Garcia is #2 in The Ring

              We're going in circles. I can do the exact same thing to Loma

                  his resume isnt much to shout about but knocking out garcia would be a step in the right direction.
