    You said it was unlikely he would want the fight, I dont think Roger would baulk for a second in fighting him, I didnt realize you were on about who wins.

      You aren't wrong about Davis's skills and Roger's chin, but perhaps Roger's punching power and reach advantage might pose problems to Tank similarly to how Barrios did.

      Plus everyone else at lightweight isn't exactly renown for being a hard hitter outside of Gervonta Davis and Edwin De Los Santos. If he can time Whitaker, he could turn the tables and time Stevenson or Haney even if he was losing throughout most of the fight.
      You're right it could be a very interesting fight. But I'd probably say tank would have the edge. Too much power

          Roger would be one of the stars of the division because that generation produced a lot better boxers/fighters. Different era different grit.

            I mean Haney endured the multiple knockdowns by Garcia until the final bell, wouldn't say he has a bad chin but rather shallow defense against similiar sized opponents.

            But I agree on the lack of punching power, reason why Jorge Linares performed quite well in their bout is due that there was a low risk of getting hurt.

            Know it sounds odd, but Ryan seems to resemble Roger stylistically speaking, wouldn't be shocked if Roger had similar success if he fought someone like Devin.

              How would he fare he would get the same type of respect now that he did then because he didn't develop a cherrypicker rep like his nephew
