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.

This is just a toxic hateful post.
With all that you say about Tank, yet he still knocks them out, is undefeated and is one of the biggest face of boxing.
So Garcia outlander him, DID HE WIN?

Tank never fought a good defensive boxer. His accuracy looks good "for now". What will he do against a boxer who have higher output and solid defense? His only weapon will get neutralized.

Also, his defense is mediocre. Garcia landed more than 40% of his power punches.

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.

Tank has already stated that he would approach the Haney and Shakur fights much differently than Ryan, because he doesn't have to worry about one punch power or extreme speed coming back from them. At some point in the fight he's going to overwhelm them coming forward using angles, feignts, and athleticism to attack and punish them. His skills are just as good as either of them, but he has the one attribute that they don't, power to turn the lights out in an instant.

please name all the top 5 boxers he has beaten

The same clowns who are saying Davis hasn’t fought anybody are the same clowns who said Garcia was going to knock him out which is the same thing they used to say about Floyd…like he said he is the face of boxing until somebody proves otherwise whether you like it or not

[GhostofDempsey]

Already know this fight won't be made. Tank will insist on a rehydration clause and Haney isn't having it. I wouldn't be surprised if Tank takes the rest of the year off. He doesn't have to defend any titles and he's made enough money from the Garcia fight. Now he just has to keep himself out of jail.

You are now digressing into a whole different topic. I am responding to stage person who says Garcia was getting beat and the only thing he relies on is his vaunted left hand. Going as far as Garcia Outlanded him in punches.

My response was so what? Tank is knocking them out. Whether Garcia was winning the fight or not, he got vaporized. Period.

This has been Tank’s biggest commercial fight. The guy is 28 years old. Tank will eventually have to reckon with Shakur and Haney at 135, I see no reason to knock him down when he still has time to prove his mettle.

Nobody knew who Hopkins was at 28. Floyd didn’t become the face of boxing until he was 30, granted he had a much better record than Tank.
The 135 is a stacked division and these guys will eventually have to collide. One of the 4 Kings has been eliminated.

We’ll just have to wait and see what happens. As of Saturday, one of the “4 Kings” has been vanquished. By the end of 2023, another will fall. If happens to be Tank, so be it.
I’m not anointing Tank the king at 135

With Tank's unmatched ability to get into troubles with police, I would say there is a high chance he will not become a memorable name in boxing. Getting some strong Broner vibes
