    I don't think he is that protected, Cruz though a short notice opponent was a solid LW and Tank struggled but won with one hand. Barrios was the bigger man unbeaten and at 140, this could have backfired badly if they were hiding something. The win looks better in hindsight him going 12 with Keef and now with Barrios beating Ugas.

      Why isn't Davis proving it vs the top guys at 135 or 140 w/o clauses n bull**** catchweights or spies?
      for all his talent, he's not proving it w/o advantages he hasn't earned.

        I wouldn't even call them prospects, they're in no way in the conversation as it pertains to top tier fighters just media hype jobs.
        Ryan's a hype job.

        Rollie however was somewhat decent, dude could really crack but the PBC moved it him too fast, threw him to the lions early and fed him to Tank.

            So you are saying that both those guys with the exposure they got they are not more popular?

            I am not saying that they are world class, great fighters or anything. But having more eyes on you makes you more recognizable.

              It goes both ways. Stank as well got popular so in a way yes.

              Idk what the point of your second statement is.

                I don't even understand this thread. TS poster is a Tank fan, yet he's giving no credit to Tank for the Ryan and Rolly fights. They're mere bums he's saying. No need to hype them as Tank's good wins.

                  This isn't about Tank, not everyone is a fan of particular fighters, get out of the Floyd/Pac mentality.

                    Are they being called world class? When did that happen?

                      They drained Mario, who isn’t even that good in the first place and should have had an L to Batyr
