You can say he is skilled puncher, I agree.Comment

Exactly this!
This reminds me of when everyone just assumed Wilder’s arbitration case against Fury about a third fight was no big deal and would get thrown out - and that a Fury-AJ fight was a sure thing. How did that work out?
Everyone seems to be taking for granted that Davis won’t get jail time and if he does, it won’t be significant. I wouldn’t be so sure about either: he may get the book thrown at him. The judge has already rejected a plea deal that would have kept Davis from doing any jail time and I don’t think it will reflect well that :a) it took Davis months to even acknowledge and take responsibility for doing something wrong in the crash, and b) he still hasn’t really shown much remorse or humility with all his talk before and after the Garcia fight.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the “face of boxing” is staring through bars for the rest of this year. You probably won’t see Davis fighting until 2024.Comment

I support any boxer who wants to test his skills by fighting above his weight class but, like Loma Tank can only do do much at 135.
There is always someone as skilled, as fast, with as much power waiting in the wings. I know Inoue just went up and not even to 130 but, that and a Loma fight at 130 would be interesting.
At 135 Tank will be tested. Ex: the version of Teofimo that beat Loma could bank the early rounds, survive a late knock down or two and win on points. Vs Shakur it would look like Canelo vs Bivol.
Let's see if Tank's team will focus on big fights or if they go back to protecting their investment. I suspect that win or loose, Loma will be the next target. (negotiate themselves out of a Haney fight).Comment

This is not a good style match up for Gervonta because him and Haney have very similar styles. Obviously for the exception of power; Neither guy likes to take risks in the ring. They are both counter punchers.
They would both rather that their opponents lead so they could get back on defense to counter. However, I think Devin has the slight advantage because unlike King Ry; He can fight at long range.
He is more of a pure, polished and refined boxer with a much better jab than Garcia; Which could easily frustrate Tank because he won't chase Davis around the ring to force him to fight.
Lastly, Devin is not going to fall for the same traps as Ryan Garcia did because he is neither a ****er, slugger or a puncher. Like Tank Davis he is a masterful technician and strategist also with a very high ring IQ.
Therefore, If Tank wins this fight then he is going to have to come out of his defensive shell. He has to get Haney out of his comfort zone by taking many risks in order to draw Devin into a firefight in order to win this fight.Comment

Your idol has one of the lowest output in boxing history. Did you even check his stats?
No jab, no output, no reach. Just very limited amount of power punches with high accuracy. Shakur and Loma boxes his ears off. Haney can beat him as well.
Even Garcia outlanded him.Comment
