Comments Thread For: Roy Jones Jr. Suggests Gervonta Davis Should Fight Haney, Stevenson Before They Outgrow Him

[Topdogggbm]

I have never once said Tank has no talent.

It's balls, it appears he and/or his management haven't any.

I wasn’t referring to YOU saying Tank had no talent. I was just referring to everyone in general. Sorry for the confusion. I just happened to quote your response, but the entire message wasn’t really directed at you

[Topdogggbm]

we are comparing tank to his peers and in 7 years he hasnt beaten anyone in the ring top 5 and has only beaten 3 top 10 guys(1 with a rehydro clause) so 2 legit wins over top 10 guys in 7 years! thats not good. thats not good at all especially considering he has has a high power promoter/manager, lots of fans, tv dates, etc...

he knocks out all the bums and teeny tiny fighters he fights that is true. wilder alert? hes only fought 2 legit healthy top 10 guys and didnt even knock one of them out. not so impressive.

why would people say they are ducking tank? all evidence points to tank ducking them. he wanted no part of loma to 2nd tier guys like machado and tevin farmer. you can look those up. clear ducks. when a guy doesnt fight anyone good and everyone else does...its probably that guys fault. he will probably fight some big names that or old and past it, i mean he does have floyd in his ear. its up to us to see that for what it is, opportunism. the guy hasnt done anything great or nearly great in his career.

You can point out all the stats in the world. You can also pick apart anyone’s career and criticize it the way you did. But everyone can manage their career how they want to. He’s a fighter. None of these guys are afraid to fight anybody. Decisions are made based off what the fighter and his team decide is best. You said he hasn’t fought a big name in seven years and that’s not good. Why tho? What if that’s “The plan”? I don’t see any problem with that. If I’m Tank I feel I’ve accomplished one of the best careers I could ever imagine. And that’s just up to now! It’s about longevity. “Hey look I’ll make 10 mil no matter who I fight? So I’ll fight a bunch of second tier guys until I’m 30, and then after 30 I’ll fight the big dogs and make the big bucks, increasing each time if I’m still winning “

why is that such a bad plan? Y’all act like Tank is 47. It’s also funny that Crawford did the same thing with his career. Only difference is, he was trying to fight the big names, he just couldn’t land the fights. So his career ended up similar, only it wasn’t his choice. But we’re all worshipping Crawford now days. The difference is Crawford didn’t make **** along the way!

the old saying…. Work smarter, not harder.
Well fight smarter, not harder
Not everyone is a legacy fighter.

Tank aint been fighting nobody, whats up with that? Im losing interest

[BronxPride67]

Im referring to you, and what!!!

[Doubledagger]

hes never going to fight haney. haney is 165 pounds.

They COULD meet at 140 and the time is now or never because daneys big head ass isnt going to stay at 140 for long. Haney will have his own problems when he gets to 147 with pillow fists and his size advantage is shrinking

What pillow fists?

You must not have watched his last fight because he was hurting and dropping Prograis without even sitting on his punching.

Haney is a very hard puncher when he isn’t draining himself to make weight and of course he is at the age where he is gaining his man strength.

Most of these guys at 140 are gonna get dropped and hurt badly by Haney.

Watch what he does to Ryan in their next fight.

Similar to how Fury has been an inactive champion? Similar to how Taylor held his titles while being inactive. Similar to how AJ gets a disproportionate amount of attention and money? But for the record, I do agree that fighters need to be held more accountable for their opponent selection and inactivity.

AJ is always fighting the best what you on about?

The only fighter he ain’t fought is Wilder and that’s all Wilder’s fault for losing to Parker.

Now he is fighting the guy everyone believes to have beaten Nganou

So basically this is a long ass admission that instead of a boxing fan who wants to see good fights, you’re just a Tank meat rider?

Ahhh there’s the trigger. A sensitive AJ fan. The guy sucks. Was made to quit be a fat late sub and easily washed twice by a cruiser who has only looked good at HW against him. Overpaid and gets a disproportionate amount of money because Brits are gullible.

"Tank is a very difficult guy to deal with. He’s got a lot of weapons and a lot of tools.” and won't step in a ring with anyone near the top of the tree.

Good fighter; waste of a career.

if your career is about tats and money and you got those, how is it wasted? what talent? Who has he fought to showcase his talent, santa cruz, gambao, instaRyan, mini-bull, roelly? these are 2nd and 3rd-tier fighters, based on points in their careers. Ok, Pedraza was around his peak but did he cry that FMW was setting him up to be beaten when he took the fight?

Lopez
Haney
Shakur
Matias
Lomachenko (Maybe he has fallen off enough to risk fighting him.)

These guys stay undefeated with Cabbage Patch's whole resume to date.

Still fighting the best guys and has the best resume at heavyweight whether you like it or not.

Also, your troll attempt failed because I’m not even an AJ fan I’m a Wilder fan.
