      This is how you cite a source, dummy:

      And this is according to YOUR source, not mine. This isn't even counting the other fighters I asked you to cite. You're a liar and very dishonest under the guise of being "objective" with facts. I have no more time for you. You've lost a lot of points in my book​

        Tank sat on his ass for years and let Teo, and potentially now Haney, get to Loma which should/would have been his legacy defining fight and star-making fight. Tank;s current best win against a legitimate opponent is vs Pedraza....and that was years ago.

        Haney is way younger and already became undisputed at Lightweight.

              Ok let’s just get to the bottom of this here.

              Can you name a fighter, that Tank fought, that was ranked in the Top 5, at the weight class being fought in at the time they fought?

              Go….

                I already did and now you're moving the goal post.

                Ryan himself has never fought anyone actually at 140 himself. He's fought at catchweights his last 3 fights or so

                The fact is is Ryan and Tank were ranked #2 and #3 respectively at LW's. Tank "let" Ryan weigh in an extra pound for the 135 lb fight. This fight was never a Junior Welterweight fight that was made at 136, it was a LW fight that was made at 136. If you want to reach and play semantics and say "Oh, anything over 135 is considered 140", go ahead and it will show how even more desperate you are at clinging to the side of that airplane like I said you were last night.

                Neither Tank or Ryan were ranked at 140 according to The Ring. They were both top 5 at 135, but you are so desperate to discredit Tank you are going to massive lengths. All the way from not knowing how to cite your own sources to now playing semantics.

                Tank also beat Hector Garcia at 135 when he was ranked #2 and a champion at 130. Hector was actually bigger than Tank. But again, if you want to try and act ****** and say that victory doesn't count, then neither does Bivol's win over Canelo at 175.

                Come on man, this is embarrassing for you. I can't believe it's taken me several days to explain this schit to you.

                Have you figured out how to properly cite a source yet?

                If I ask you for a word definition and you hand me a damn dictionary and say figured it out, that's not citing a source, man. How old are you?

                  Ok let’s try again, I will ask you this very very simple question again and let’s see if you can answer it.

                  Name me, the fighters that Tank beat, that were ranked in the Top 5, OF THE DIVISION BEING FOUGHT IN, at the time that the fought.

                  Go…

                    You're trash

                    Don't deserve to be called a boxing fan if this is what you resort to to discredit a fighter. No wonder we can't get the fights we want. It's because of trash like you

                    #2 vs #3 LW. Period

                      I’m not discrediting him.

                      I consider his wins over Garcia, Pedraza, Leo, and H.Garcia very good wins.

                      They just weren’t ranked in the Top 5 in the division being fought in. That’s just a fact of the matter.
