    Tank is great but face of boxing?

    I don't even think he's the best fighter at his division. Shakur,Haney both would beat him. Loma is the wildcard who they already ran from. The version of Loma that beat Comney beats Tank also(we gonna see if he's still that guy in May). The real super fight for this weight class comes next month.

    how are you great if you are maybe the 4th best in your division and you refuse to fight the other guys? not to mention his track history at 130 and 140 of never fighting a top guy.

      Tank kills Loma. But Haney and Shakur are tougher fights.
      Thing Tank has going for him is people love a KO artist and he’s got all time great power For below 140.

        He's not the face of boxing but his a pretty big name in the sport. The whole "face of boxing" thing was a hyperbole to hype the fight up. With Garcia being younger, he might've been positioned better than Tank to eventually become the face of boxing, but even if he did win tonight it would have been premature.

          how many top 5 guys has he ko'd? zero. and no garcia doesnt count since he hasnt fought at 135 for 2 and a half years so there is no reasonable way to say he should be ranked there and this fight was at 136 anyway. whats his ranking at 140? unranked. all time great power against bums? couldnt dent isaac cruz. what a shocker when he fights someone healthy and decent he can't ko them. have we not seen that over and over throughout boxing history?

              we don't need a face of boxing. we need the best fighting the best. a "face of boxing" only makes sense if there are no weight classes

                i think you mean tank wont eff with anyone good at 135 or any division for that matter, and remember this was a 136 pound fight with rehydration clause so not sure what 135 has to do with it.

                  Tank would be a terrible representation for the sport if he's considered the 'face of boxing'.
