Get his life together? How many millions does he have? His job is to fight. Arent we always told that fighters with a hard life are the best fighters? Is he wearing his silk pajamas or something?

A fraction of his money would absolutely eliminate me giving a crap about my problems. Unless his problem is money in which case he should fight more.

You're projecting.

The same people saying Ryan Garcia would beat him now say his beat win is Pedraza. You can’t make this crap up.

I love how people are genuinely asking, dis*****g what your crying about and you're just ignoring them cause you know you're wrong


So who's stanks best win?? Lmfao

Go look at more guys. This isn't unusual these days. The avg turn around these days for top ten guys is 8mos which is 3 fights every 2yrs like Tank is doing.

Yeah the ones who have earned that right by fighting 3 times a year before that.

I dork out on stats like few, hell almost no, others here do. I looked up every top ten (TBRB & Ring) guy awhile back & looked how often they fought. The overall avg was guys over the last few yrs were fighting every 8mos. Some of those guys HAVE "earned" the right as you say & been top guys for a long time, but most weren't qualified as you say.

Its just how things work now, like it or not. I'd prefer guys fought more myself, but its not a Tank thing its a boxing thing. And to be fair there are guys who box more & sh^t some box even less.

No Loma, Haney or Shakur fights.


Took 5 years to finally make the Garcia fight. whoop de ***ing do

Alright I can agree with that but in general it's a blueprint that was set by Mayweather but at least he earned that right we now have boxers pricing themselves out without even having more than 3 champions (sometimes only 1 ) on their resume.

I think ppl love to blame Floyd for everything.

I think most of the ppl following "Floyd's blueprint" don't even like Floyd or wanna be him or like him. The reality is guys aren't gonna fight for less then their market value & platforms only got so many slots open that pay a million or more & so many slots for $200k or more & so on & so forth. And if you are a $1M purse guy it don't make no sense to take a $200k fight where you still could get hurt or cut that might push back your $1M fight later on.

Their value is based off the fans though.

Sure. But you don't need more fights to grow fans nowadays. You need social media & hustle outside the ring. Ryan had 3 fights in the previous 3 years before being the B side in the biggest PPV of the year. Tank did okay PPV numbers up to Ryan, but fighting Ryan put him into a whole other level with buys. Ryan got popular from social media not from fighting.

Aside from Ryan can you name any other fighter that is a product of social media?
