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

[Combat Talk Radio]

Tank had zero reason to fight him? How about for the titles? Any fighter worth a damn wants to be champion.

Spoken like a true mark.

You just saw Serrano trash a belt because they wouldn't do what she asked them to do and you saw your guy Crawford refuse to fight the guy that took his IBF to get it back, if it really mattered he would have been all over that. Crawford doesn't care about the belts, either. He cares about money - which is why he called out a super middleweight instead of someone in his weight class calling him out.

Devin Haney in the post straight up said he wants money fights now. He doesn't care either.

Belts only matter when you're nobody so you can get a shot. Once you've gotten there, you stop caring.

Never mention Tank and Bud in the same sentence again.

Crawford himself said all he cares about money, not legacy. He's ON RECORD, bro. They're the same.

Because they're PRIZEfighters.

Struggling to understand when NSB became such a group of people who don't understand the BUSINESS of boxing.

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.

Isaac Cruz and Barrios had Mexican fans backing them, which draws casual money because they always pay to support "their" guys - same with Leo, same with Pedraza, etc. Mayweather made a career out of beating Mexican fighters. It's lucrative. Which is interesting since NSB criticizes Canelo for not fighting Mexican fighters.

Rolly sold the fight with his mouth. Which Crawford sucks at doing, by the way.


All you're doing is validating what I said to be the truth - Tank fights for money, period. He knows who draws money and it isn't the latest 'eye test' that NSB wants him to fight.

[Combat Talk Radio]

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.

That's exactly what he's doing. And he's smart for doing so. It just makes people on NSB hate him enough to want to see him lose - which is the Mayweather blueprint.

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.

Fanboyism is strong on this fella. Tank can say it's all about money, but when it comes to Crawford saying the same thing, hell breaks loose with this fella.

The problem is, when Crawford says it, his fans excuse it as "he's earned it".

The problem is, when Crawford says it, his fans excuse it as "he's earned it".

The problem is you have a problem with consistency. Crawford got probably 9 fans in here, and you assume your inconsistencies being pointed out has something to do with being a fan of somebody. So the difference is you're a fan of Tank and defend him at all costs.

Wasn't Tank parading his WBA regular title around at 140 like he was a real champion?..

[paulf]

Tank’s people are just smart and it pisses posters off who want to see him lose.

They kept him away from Lomachenko and now they’ll keep him away from Haney.

Don’t like him? Do what I do - don’t watch him.

Tank is a very successful businessman in the brain and isn't a boxer at heart, and I have come to accept that. After all, it is his life and his choice to make. He is a three division "champion" who will have made it with one belt won against a champion, one belt emailed, and one fake Regular belt.

In the end, he will retire as one of the richest super lightweight boxer in history ever without getting close to sniffing the HoF, but that is the path he wants and will make.

Does tank ever fight anyone that's good ?
