Comments Thread For: Tank, Benavidez and the Ongoing Search for a Post-Floyd American Boxing Superstar

Definitely not tank. Benividas possibly.

Crawford can crossover if he fights Ryan Garcia and Jake Paul. After that he should go after Danny Garcia, Keef Thurman, Conor Ben in the UK and his last fight vs Jaron Ennis.

T-Bud needs to forget about Canelo, Nelo too big and too strong for Bud.

He ticks literally every box.

Marketable, good, look and well spoken and has some personality.
American/Mexican
High level fighter
Very exciting fighter
Young.
Very dedicated.
Throw back fighter

Whats missing ? He ticks more boxes than Tank Davis who is not very marketable, with his personality and being a midget. David would explode if Canelo gave him that fight and he beat his ass.

I don't think that it's Benavidez missing anything, . It's the public being shlt for brains. Go on any boxing article in the mainstream press , what few articles there are. In the comments you'll see half of the people declaring that boxing is dead , or dying , and that Tyson was the last good fighter in the world. Other people hear that ******ity enough and start believing it and repeating it. Now when the fights are on, they don't bother to watch, because it's going to suck anyway from what they've heard.
The truth is that boxing is better now than it's been in a while and the amount of excellent fighters is as good or better than any time that I can recall.

That's 6 or 7 years at his preferred pace.

Heh, true.....well I don't see anybody else right now being that crossover star post Floyd except for Tank maybe.

You can say Trinidad and Cotto were big stars, I don't think you can say the same about Matias, Yet, anyways,

You're absolutely correct and I'm hoping that Hearn can get Subriel the fights he needs to become a Superstar.

Well,right now Turki is offering David the winner of Beterbiev and Bivol, a chance to be undisputed at 175 and get a boatload of money and yet he's being noncommittal. Instead he still is obsessed with Canelo. It seems he only wants to fight smaller men. He came out this week and said he walks around at about 200 .This extreme weight cut to gain an advantage is the opposite of throwback.And very dedicated?? Jajajaja, do I really need to remind you of the multiple effups ?

Im pretty sure Ive heard him say in every interview he wants the winner of that fight, and that he is not focusing on Canelo. The fact he has moved to 175 to fight for mandatory should prove that to you but apparently not.

Imagine if Tank would have challenged himself and beat prime Loma. He'll never attain Floyd status by fighting the guys he's been fighting.

Amazing that a veteran writer wrote so many half truths while being bias towards Mayweather. He also considers super stars by their earnings only, not abput the love of the people. Paquiao was a super star and was robbed vs Mayweather, the former even fought with an injury. Oscar was a super star, JC Chavez and Roberto Duran were super stars,stopping entire countries from their daily routines to watch them fight. By the way, Joshua and Fury are a joke, especially Joshua.
