Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Crowns Tank As The Best Lightweight: "Tank Is The Guy, There's No Doubt About It"

There's no doubt about it; Haney is the guy @ 135.

Whoever wins in Haney vs. Lomachenko, is "The Guy!" Tank has to beat "The Guy," before we can crown him!

This is how the wbo and ibf were created. Out of thin air. Devin Haney and Cattrell are the best.

Shakur would punch circles around tank, not sure how this hasn’t registered to people but Shakur is going to be the top dog out of this new generation. Tank is still lunging with punches and not covering his left side well, this was something you could see floyd trying to work him past, it never did, watch enough of his last fight and realize just how open the button of his chin is each time he throws his right hand. That’s me a casual watcher of his fights picking up on this. This is why I feel Ryan is going to show us more than we expect during this fight. Can’t call who wins because realistically it comes down to how Ryan handles being hit and if he’s willing to wait on that counter to land the money shot. I still think Shakur wipes out all these young boys and I’m not even a fan of his heel turn lately.

Oscar is supposed to say that to promote the fight. Both fighters have padded records. Haney vs Loma fight winner is the top dog, real deal, kingpin of the division.

Shakur is another top name and probably the next kingpin of the division.

For now there will be those who will agree with what De La Hoya is saying, ultimately though he will have to defend and defeat Garcia in his upcoming bout..

he is up there with the best guys in the division they both are but regardless to who wins then a unification bout with the other champions will truly settle who is number 1 in the lightweight division..
