Comments Thread For: Bob Santos: Look at Who Tank Fought and Who Garcia Fought - There is a Big Difference

[Greenfield02]

LMAO! Honestly both have not fought elite competition, this fight is the best opponent they have faced in each other. Looking at both resumes I would say Campbell who Garcia fought is probably the best fighter on anyone's resume, regardless, that doesn't matter, styles make fights and past competition won't mean anything come Saturday night, I just don't want to hear any excuses from either guy. .

[Monty Fisto]

both of their resumes suck

I wouldn't say suck, but both have unimpressive resumes.
The caveat for Garcia is that he is 24 and we would expect him to have a less impressive resume than Tank at 28.

It's obviously going to come down to who implements their game plan better, and if adjustments have to be made, who does that more effectively.

As Teddy Atlas said, Garcia has swifter handspeed, and Davis has better footwork.

The undercard is not that bad, but of course, everyone wants to see the main event. Enjoy.

Let's stop acting like Tank has fought a Murderer's Row. His best scalp is Jose Pedraza at 130 in 2017, then Pit Bull. Not exactly elite level competition, though better than Ryan's.

[Roadblock]

The only real challenge was a solid but technically flawed Pitbull Cruz, and Tank almost lost, so. And ask yourself, how many of Tanks foes would have lost to Cambell or Fortuna?

99% of them are 130/5 fighters not 140 pounders.

Who should tank have fought up until now that wanted or was willing to fight him ?

This is the problem with boxing now - name one active fighter at 126 or above who has fought elite competition. They don't fight each other

126 - no-one is elite
130 - ditto
135 - Loma has best resume but is always criticized for it
140 - Taylor has best resume but nobody elite
147 - Spence has best resume but again, nobody elite
154 - ditto Charlo
160- Golovkin has one elite fighter in Canelo who he beat 1st fight
168 - Canelo - has best resume in boxing but really he lost to Floyd and 1st Golovkin fight
175 - Beterbiev has best resume but no elite
200 - nobody elite
HW - Usyk has best resume as I discount beating an old Wlad + Usyk cleared out CW

Below 126 at 115 we have two old warhorses who have been elite in chocolatito and Estrada
122 Inoue is elite but has old Donaire as best scalp - if he beats Scooter then full props

so all those moaning about **** resumes should take a step back and pt things into perspective

Tank is 28 and the only "maybe" HOF'er is little Leo... Tank pissed away his prime. The PBC is trash

How the hawk did he piss away his prime at 28... at that age he's just now coming into his prime... F u ckn casuals... ruin these threads

[puroylan]

Hats off to these two real warriors fighting each other in their prime unlike many fighters out there cherry picking only. War tomorrow!

F no.

The version of Pedraza that Tank sparked out was vastly superior to anyone else.

Pretty much everybody, because of the money. But Tanks opponents are chosen very carefully.
