    maybe but can you avoid his Power? because unlike a lot of guys with Big Power most of them are flatfooted Brawlers who can't hit moving targets and can't cut the ring...Tank however not only has the BIG POWER but he has the Quickness, Fast Twitch and Foot Speed as well as the boxing IQ to adjust

    so yeah I don't see him just being out-boxed for 12 Rounds easy like some fans are suggesting, he does have boxing skills fans like to allow personal feelings cloud their judgement when it comes to talking about certain fighters and they end up being wrong and making a fool of themselves every time

    Who did the best vs Tank so far? Pitbull Cruz who applied PRESSURE he didn't try to Box him he went after Tank but then again how many of these guys have Pitbull chin as well as Power to really earn that respect from Tank when Tank becomes the Hunter and Pushes forward he is more Dangerous so if you can't get him going Backwards you're getting knock TF out

      A smaller Bivol VS Tank

      would Tank succeed where Alvarez didn’t

        The difference is Davis foot speed and explosive handspeed Canelo doesn't have that, Tank is a much better boxer than they give him credit for, I think its because of his trap setting style they don't see the feints slips and how hard he is to hit clean, like sicko said pressure is what ruffles him because he likes to operate at his stalking pace he doesn't like them aggressive and right on him, Im not talking flurries I mean constantly on him , Cruz is also smaller which in a weird way takes Tanks assets away from him, Davis is better fighting taller reachy guys then he can move around their length and fire.

          I don't believe I said he got outboxed by Ryan. In fact, he significantly outclassed Ryan. Would be hard to give Ryan more than a couple rounds of that fight. I said he gets outboxed on a fairly regular basis, until he lands that shot, and oh boy is he good at that. He made Ryan look easy though.

            But they have the same technique of handicapping their opponent.
