    I mean the thing is that some has to do with a lot of hype, and he definitely has the skills and abilities to face the top.
    The issue with Tank is he isn't fighting the top for some reason.
    I can break down why I think but it's a lot to say kind of.

      I agree man,
      I do think Haney can beat Tank but I do see Shakur with a higher chance of beating Tank.

          Because he fights people who are on the same platform as him. Aside from Garcia it's all been PBC guys. That's just how boxing works. I don't think Tank's resume is anywhere near as bad as people make it out to be. My issue with his opposition was that big run of trash fights between Pedraza and Barrios. I've been fine with everything else.

          Daggum won't have an answer to who Loma beat that would give Tank problems though.

            I feel you.
            Yeah I think Shakur has a real good chance at beating Tank.
            Shakur is better than both tank and Haney. I agree.

              But the thing about it is it's not all black and white-there have been cross promotional fights.
              It can be done, I just think Mayweather doesn't let Tank fight these othere guys.

                Tank isn't with Mayweather anymore

                  Depends what weight stipulations Tank puts on them it was revealed today Tank even put Barrios on a rehydration clause dude is a straight *****. I will never like this guy and this further proves he’s nothing but an overrated chump.

                    Short Answer: No.

                    Long Answer:

                    Shakur is still wet behind the ears despite being older than Haney. He has as much experience on the big stage as Ryan Garcia had. Shakur is a better technician than Ryan for certain but it is left to be seen if his power has carried up and he wasn't much of a power puncher to begin with. He'd look good for a little but but with nothing to keep Gervonta honest, I genuinely think Shakur would go like Ryan did. Body just too frail and not hardened enough, not to mention primetime jitters.

                    Haney has the developed body and is used to the bright lights of the big stage, so he is different there but some things going against him are he also has not much power, he also is a very 'no-risk' fighter to the point that this man literally does not throw more than 2 punches in a combination and will not commit even if there is an ocean of skill disparity between him and his opponent (i.e. Kambosos). Add that Haney is chinny, even if Haney were to take 4-5 rounds with his Klitchsko style of boxing, if he got cracked once or twice (which WILL happen) I have a feeling he will go down in a heap. Just like Barrios who is probably bigger than Haney.

                    Now they both could win if they managed to fight to survive 12 rounds and avoid any and all risk, using their reach to keep Gervonta off of them but that seems like fallacy don't it?

                    When you have no power, you're really not going to keep a huge puncher off you and when that huge puncher has equal or greater pure boxing skill, speed, footwork than you?

                    I don't think either of them win BUT it would be a great fight.

                      On paper probably not, but rest assured they are guiding him still man.
                      It's obvious
