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

[daggum]

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

hes pretending to be a 135 champ as we speak. hes just your classic con artist and fraud. maybe he will be president soon...

[tomhawq]

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.

There you go. Just admit it's a business. It's all about money. Your favorite guys do it, so then don't get mad when others do the same.

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.

oh they will definitely put him in the hall of fame. they put him on the pound for pound list even though hes never beaten a top 5 fighter in any of his divisions and clearly ducks every single good fighter. hes up to 8th already if he keeps winning against teeny tiny men or drained bums in a couple years he might be #1 when the real fighters above him take a loss/retire etc...

I don't mind him making money. That's the choice he's made and he's allowed to make those choices.

But I could sure stop hearing about how a duck like him is "P4P" or "ATG". He's going to make his money and take very little damage while doing it, but he's barely going to be a footnote historically. Could have been more, but he's not ever going to test himself.

As long as Inoue is still alive and Crawford active, Tank will never sniff #1 P4P

[Combat Talk Radio]

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.

Saying he’s all about money is “defending “.

You’re a mark.

And then you prove yourself a hypocrite by repeating what I said.

Crawford: "My remaining fights will be all about money."
Leicesterage: "No you can't! You have to fight "Boots! Or give up all your belts doe!"

Tank: "I've been all about money from day one."
Leicesterage: "Bravo! clap, clap, keep doing what you're doing. That's my boy. Applause."

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.

Idk about this. I mean the biggest money fight he had is obv vs Ryan, but I think he's been doing $5M or more for awhile & $5M or more is top 0.1% type paydays in boxing.

[Roadblock]

Tank wants paydays. Which Devin doesn't offer - yet.

The Cryan fight was basically "legalized bank robbing". So Tank's sitting pretty fat on cash for a while.

But once that dries up, he'll go looking for money again.

Devin also wants money, and he knows what that means. It means he has to make more noise at 140. Which is why a Cryan fight makes sense next because it's free money OR just take Rolly's belt because it's a gimmie unification of two belts.

I think Devin now is a very big payday its a huge fight the split and egos would be hard to reach a deal, so is Shakur and Teo very big paydays, whenever the stars of boxing fight the fights people want to see the payday is always big its been proven in history so many times it should be counted as a Law of Nature.

Tank or his connections would see how hard Haney is to beat, Tank can do it IF he can land that shot, if as much as he has Devin wobbled its probably all over as Davis is a killer, but they are weighing up everything, from the size to can Davis land that shot, its easy for fans to sit back with blah blah, the brains in the back room look very hard at the business and the prospect of winning/losing and the business playout on both deals, to get this fight you need a lot of public pressure on Davis just as Canelo is getting publicly cornered by DB, the same is needed on Tank, its not the fighters its the suits in the backroom that decide.
