    Since Calvin Ford is such a big influence on Tank , maybe he should teach him to be a man of better character . For instance, teach him that hitting women is unacceptable under any conditions , and that leaving a pregnant woman injured at the side of the road is not ok.
    I used to like Tank , it's a shame that he's of such low character. He's an excellent boxer and very charismatic.

Tagoe and Fortuna were no better! The only reason he couldn't face Haney, is because they KNEW he would lose! Ryan and Devin are the same age, but Devin fought Linares and Jo Jo, while Ryan did nothing!
      Tank wasn't "outboxing' Garcia bro,don't know what fight you were watching and just because someone does it first, holds no merit as to the quality of fighters that came before. Roger and Colbert are journeyman level fighters.

      Never said Tagoe or Fortuna wins hold any value unlike you who is resorting to hyping up Linares and JoJo of all people as consequential wins lol?? Stick to Kambo if you feel the need to fluff on Haney.,atleast there's some substance there.

        ​ No, Tank's best years at this point are probably behind him thanks to Floyd Mayweather having him sit on his hands for so many years while watching him do exhibitions to hog the spotlight and take away Tanks Shine.

        Tank may not be washed up, but he will show himself to be just plain 'Gevontae Davis' in his next say...2 to 3 fights.

        Observations from not a 'fight' but a 'boxing' fan.

        This is not 'trolling', these are facts.
        Every bit of what you typed , right or wrong was opinion .
        Education in this country just gets worse and worse.

          You can only lead a horse to water... I'm sure if it wasn't for Ford, Tank would be worse off.

He has yellow bus strength because he's really living that 7:30 helmet life. U ever heard him speak? In boxing IQ, he's as dumb as a rhinoceros, and almost as strong as one. So with a guy like him, u have to be alert and see everything he throws first, play around, feint him, bait him in, make him reach, tap tap tap. Make him think u can't punch like that, make him confident so u can open him up. Hit him with single hard shots in the body, take some of the strength away, gas him a little bit, then time him rushing in. That's exactly what Tank did, it was perfect. U may think he was losing but he wasn't. He let the dumber guy get overconfident and extra sloppy then he lit him up. Tank is master boxer, not just a puncher. Ryan is going to sleep too, but in a different way than Rolly. Tank will be a lot more meaner and explosive for Ryan because he knows Ryan has speed.
            Exactly, good points

              Because Barrios,Cruz and Garcia are sub elite level talents while Romero is straight garbage. All of them have been thoroughly outclassed before so it shouldn't come as a suprise a big puncher like Tank was able to land his money shot.

              Ryan is a level above all those guys in terms of boxing IQ and ability who will not make it that easy for Tank. He cant just sit back,lose rounds in an attempt to wait on a "bail me out" counter like he did those guys,he does that and he loses by a landslide. Tank will have to get going a lot sooner than he's accustomed to.

              Tanks ceiling becomes apparent April 22.
              Lol, Rolly could probably knock Ryan out, because Ryan doesn't fight smart, he just uses his speed and hook. He doesn't fight long and tall at 5'10, he constantly drops his right hand when throwing his hook to the head or body, he pulls straight back with his chin in the air on defense, and to be as athletic as he is, he's a flat-footed, plodding forward fighter that can't fight off the back foot. You will see what level he's on soon. Barrios would probably destroy him.

                  Lol, Ryan hasn't done anything that makes me think that he would outbox or handle the size and power of Barrios. Rolly is probably stronger than Ryan, and Garcia's not the smartest guy in the ring, all it takes is for Rolly to land one. Romero is not soft punching Campbell, even if Ryan gets up, good night.

                    Never said Tagoe or Fortuna wins hold any value unlike you who is resorting to hyping up Linares and JoJo of all people as consequential wins lol?? Stick to Kambo if you feel the need to fluff on Haney.,atleast there's some substance there.
                    I never said Tank was "outboxing" Garcia. You said Garcia had been previously outboxed, but that never happened! Colbert and Gutierrez are better than Tagoe and Fortuna! Fortuna used to be good, but faded quickly! He lost to Jo Jo, yet Ryan chose him over Jo Jo! What's that about?

                    Either way, neither Tank nor Ryan have proven to be "elite" at 135! I do believe Tank has a better resume than Ryan though! Like I said, the "elite" fight at 135, is Haney vs. Loma! Ryan ducked Haney, and Tank ducked Loma, and it's sad that those 2 are getting all the hype!!!
