      How do y'all keep ranking Tank this high when he's never fought a top 5 fighter in his weight class & is 28 years old?

      And is a cash cow fighter, so you can't even argue he's being avoided (ala prime GGG or Crawford)

      Floyd kept him away from Loma because they knew he'd lose in 2019.

        Usyk is far better than Davis.

          Tank isn’t ranked high.

Since that fight, he fought Rolly (who'd lost to Marinez if we're being honest), Rolly how arguably should have lost his last fight. Then you have Ryan Garcia, who is more of a social media influencer now than a fighter. Guy hasn't looked good since he was with Reynoso. He trains three days a week for his fights. Both of those guys are still in that prospect stage, despite Rolly having a title.

            I think Tank is good, but he can't possibly be considered P4P after fighting the competition he's had, plus his questionable win over Cruz. Cruz was the only guy who's a real fighter and not some little guy coming up to fight Tank. I thought Barrios was a good win until I found out about the rehydration clause.

            Have to disagree there.
            No he didn't.

              Tank is not better than either Crawford or Spence.

                USYK yes, Tank fucc no. Crawford don’t belong there either. It’s USYK and Inoue and Inoue still has to beat Fulton. USYK, Inoue, Canelo.

                  Crawford is very overrated. If Tank were his size, Crawford gets KO’ed.

                    He definitely at least arguably lost.

                    I had Cruz winning myself. Many others included.

                    It was very close.

                      The Crawford who fought at 135 would almost certainly defeat tank. if Tank would have fought him, which he wouldn't have.
