    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.
    Good points.
    But the thing here is Haney would need mor than a jab. It's not that simple to beat Tank. Tank can easily work around the jab man, more tools are needed. I think Haney has them tool though.
    But Hney can't fight like he did against Kambo and win. Haney would be tested.
    I think SHakur has demonstrated he can use more tools. I opt more for SHakur beating Tank .

      That's quite probable man.
      I feel you on that.

        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.
        Ah the thing is this, those people whispering in Tank's ears are Mayweather and Ellerbe.
        Eventhough people 'hooraed' for Tank in leaving Mayweather promotions, May is still breathing down Tank's neck. Just watch, most likely Tank's next opponent will be another predictable, beatable opponent as was Rolly, Ryan, Leo, etc...

        Tank really needs to aggressively seek and choose the top at this point in his career. Whether at '35 or '40.

          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.
          I agree at SHakur coming out on top, but I doubt Tank is so excited to fight Shakur.
          But Loma is at '35, so he should be included in the '35 talk. He's fighting Haney at '35 for crying out loud.
          No crutch for Loma. I doubt Loma comes out on top against these names too. But Loma is elite skills definitely.

            I definitely can see that happening.

              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?
              Real question is can tank beat them as I feel he'd only have a punchers chance against the two and he'd be soundly outboxed by either

                Well said man, I definitely can see that happening.
                But Tank can box and has some sharpened tools too

                  Yes but Tank has a better ring IQ than many will admit.
                  His ring IQ seems to be judged by his look, background and out of ring garbage.

                    Yeah I don't disagree Tank's ring iq is right up there but he isn't a mayweather type of ring iq.
                    Tank's ring iq relies on him setting up a lethal punch to stop his opponents and he doesn't care if he wins rounds in the meantime

                    He will meet someone one day who'll stand up to his punch and bag in rounds and easily ud him

                      Haney isn’t technically skilled enough IMO. He’s very long and athletic, got very good feet too but once you close the gap he’s not that difficult to hit.

                      JoJo Diaz was touching Haney up regularly and he’s a flat footed fighter. Tank would get inside the jab and send him to the moon with a big left hand.

                      I’ll have a big bet on Tank KO if that fight ever happens- would still like to see it though, I’ve been wrong before about fights.
