Tank Davis not interested in fighting Devin Haney: 'NO! He is 140!'

[Combat Talk Radio]

Ah so Tank gotta let this one "marinate", that's the excuse we're gonna run with huh? LOL

Tank is all about the money. But you already know that.

Look at how long it took to fight Cryan. He waited until the payout was what he wanted. He'll do the same for Haney. That's marinating 101. But again, you know this already.

Tank is all about the least risk... That's what he's about. If he wanted any of the best guys, the fights would be made. He just doesn't want to fight them I guess

He didn’t want Haney at 135 either. Tank is a fraud like his mentor.

Haney at 135 went to unify with Kambosos, did a required rematch with him, then beat Lomachenko. Then moves up to 140 and takes a belt off of Prograis in a 12-0 shutout, something Josh Taylor couldn't come close to doing.

Right now, Haney's resume is superior to Tank's. Period.

But before Haney unified, he had NO drawing power and wasn't bringing in any paydays. Tank had zero reason to fight the guy.

I keep telling NSB - learn to recognize when a guy is fighting for money vs. true legacy.

It's ironic that when Tank is blatant about his focus on cash, he gets criticized, but when Crawford straight up ducks a mandatory to chase money, he gets praised.


At some point, NSB really does need to be consistent.

Tank had zero reason to fight him? How about for the titles? Any fighter worth a damn wants to be champion. Tank has been cherry picking his entire career and avoided Haney, Shakur, Loma, and Teo among others.

Crawford put in his time, because undisputed in two weight classes. When he beat the boogeyman at 147 he still didn’t get the credit or respect he deserves. Never mention Tank and Bud in the same sentence again.

[MONGOOSE66]

Quack quack.

Tank is only interested in fighting REAL fighters like Garcia and Rolly!!
Loma, Shakur, Teo & Haney aren’t as dangerous as Garcia and Rolly!!

[Eff Pandas]

Tank & his team are chasing money & money only. I'm on record as saying Money>Legacy, but that doesn't mean legacy & reputation isn't in play while making money decisions. The way Tank is moved appears to be without any consideration of legacy or reputation & only about maxing out $$$ & limiting risk.

[Slicc]

Stank had no problems moving to 140 for Barrios, but all of a sudden he's too small for Haney? These fighters need to start roasting him for all the cherry picking he's done throughout his career.

[El_Maldito_Rey]

Coward. Going to be 30 years old next year and will have a resume comparible to Andrade.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Tank wants paydays.

Tank has had 1 big money fight so far. And that fight was big because of Ryan`s star power.

Cruz, Rolly, Barrios and other Tank fought were no draws. Stop with that excuses. Tank is a coward. he won`t fight anybody dangerous.
