Most of Tank's notable opponents were far beyond their prime and/or far outside of their best weight (including Yuriorkis Gamboa, Cristobal Cruz, Leo Santa Cruz, Hugo Ruiz, Hector Garcia).

    And most of his title wins are fake ass Regular belts.

    He has still never fought anyone that was ranked in the top 5 of the weight division he fought them in at the time of the fight. He has never unified. He has never won a lineal or Ring Magazine championship.

    He has some good wins. Ryan Garcia, Jose Pedraza, Isaac Cruz. But the hype is out of control. He's a talented fighter who has won legit titles at super featherweight. Nothing more, nothing less.
    Fair enough. So where would you rank him amongst the greatest boxers ever in history?

    just a rough number estimate. 1 being greatest, 50 being 50th etc

        How do you rank someone who has never completed against the best? You get an incomplete and you don't graduate from tank university that's how

          Probably at the same level with broner now but if he keeps getting better he can get past broner in ATG.

              he doesn't yet, it takes a lot of be go down as a "ALL TIME GREAT" you don't get that beating guys you're suppose to beat he is going to have to make HISTORY he is going to have to win some real Belts he is going to have to fight Haney, Shakur Stevenson guys like that to truly Cement Legacy

              Ryan Garcia was just a great dance partner because of his following outside of the ring but inside the ring, besides fast hands and Power he haven't achieved a damn thing in this sport yet

                There is a good chance tank fights nothing but tik tokkers and small Japanese boys from here on out. This could be the peak of his boxing "career"

                  he will make a ton of money doing so which is great for him and his family but as far as Legacy, nope going to need to fight Haney, Loma (if he beats Haney) Shakur Stevenson...

                    He ranks at a respectable 68th place. 5 places behind butter bean
