    I'd say, Shakur 70-30

    Haney 60-40

    Tank has been outboxed by a few guys and if hasn't faced an elite boxer, yet.

    However, he always has the eraser.

    He can KO anybody
    Very true and well said man

He has great range control and good footwork, but athletically, he doesn’t have that much special effects like a Roy Jones, Floyd, etc.
      Good points man.
      I got Shakur over them all but it is hard to call definitely.

        I want to see it though definitely.
        How many shots does Tank really need to land? Shakur is the 2nd best defender in boxing and Haney's also high on that list as well. As smooth as Stevenson is I don't think he can go the whole fight without getting touched a few times. Devin would for sure.

          Haney can beat tank by holding and using his jab. Shakur should be able to out point tank.
          Key to beating tank is to be as cagey as he is. Tank prefers to counterpunch and move away. Don’t give that to him. Make him move forward.

              I think he brutally stops haney mid to late but loses wide to Shakur.

                Now that we saw Tank win this lopsided easily predictable fight,
                Do you think Shakur or Haney have a better chance at beating Tank?
                Do you think Tank chooses another opponent who is quite 'winable' again?
                I think Tank might be feeling his oats right now and might try to make it happen unless somebody gets in his ear to the extent that he loses the will to override his advisors who will not want him to risk it from the get-go. That said, I think tank KO's Haney (assuming Haney gets by Lomachenko, which I don't) but most likely loses a legit decision to Stevenson. Would love to see any kind of combination of all these guys fight, but I'm not optimistic.

                  Really tough fights.
                  Honestly, it's too bad these fights didn't take place at 130 because I believe Loma beats them all at 130.

                  At 135 it's a different story but if I had to choose who comes out on top, it's probably going to be Shakur.

                    True, that's why I see them all having a high chance against each other.
                    We have to see it so it can be proven.

                      I think both can beat him by fighting on the outside and using their length.
