Why is tank davis on the top ten p4p list?

[IronDanHamza]

Cool. Confirmed. You don't like the idea of him being on the p4p list because you don't like him.

I'm okay with him being where he is. He's no different to Shakur, except Tank puts them away in startling fashion. No matter the size of the opponent. 130-140 is his truthfully and he doesn't need a title to prove it. It's literally his until one of these "belt holders" that you're fond of, comes and puts him in his place.

Until then? The real Life kid buu is the single most skilled and dangerous man spanning those 3 divisions. So i'm okay with him being on the fringes of the top 10 p4p list.

You can’t possibly be arguing that Tank is the most dangerous fighter at 140.

Tank hasn’t beaten anyone in the Top 5. Shakur has beaten two fighters ranked #1. So you can’t compare them, no.

Tank being on the P4P list currently is more comparable to when Adrien Broner was on it.

lol...

Because he passes the eye test. Like Inoue did until he solidified himself 2 weeks ago.

I agree with this.... there used to be a time when a guy was considered P4P because people knew they saw something special and everytime out they saw it. Resume was a back burner topic because you can see that fighter beats whoever is in front of them.

Tank may not have the best resume but anybody from 130 to 140 can lose to the guy on any night. That's P4P qualities IMHO

Who at 140 pounds guaranteed beats Tank just curious? I wouldn't bet the farm that anybody from 130 to 140 does it and I'd be willing to bet no matter who he fights in those divisions the oddsmaker will have it a even fight or slightly favoring Tank.

Leo was #9 at 130, right or wrong.

He was not ranked by TBRB. I didn't look up the Ring rankings.

I believe Tank has the talent to be top 10 p4p, but his resume is mostly smoke & mirrors. Honestly, bro should pray to Mayweather, Ellerbe and Haymon every night instead of God, because if it weren't for their marketing he woulda had to go through hell and back to be a fraction of the star he is. How do you win 4 world titles across 3 weight divisions and Ryan Garcia's your best win thus far?

He didn't win 4 world titles across 3 weight divisions, he won 2 world titles at super featherweight. WBA secondary titles do not count.

I was referring to The Ring where he was #9

I don’t know but he hasn’t proven it, he’s fought one fight there against a fringe contender and didn’t even look good in all honesty.

Ring has pretty much flushed their credibility over the years. It's why TBRB exists in the first place. Stuff like splitting their light heavyweight title from the lineal championship, sanctioning title fights between guys not in the top 2, Oscar buying them, etc has severely damaged Ring's reputation. They were even going to sanction Spence vs Pac for the welterweight title before the injury. They're still orders of magnitude better than stuff like the WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, BoxRec, etc but to me the TBRB's rankings are definitive. Nonprofit, no promotional affiliations, no sanctioning fees, and they follow their own rules.
