Bottom line is that Tank had the ability to force mandatory fights at various points with the likes of Josh Taylor, Teofimo Lopez, Vasiliy Lomachenko, and Devin Haney and he never did. He doesn't want risky fights.
Some of his wins have aged better than they looked at the time (Barrios, Cruz, Romero) but that's not the same thing as going after the best at their peak.
loma is old want to see him fight shakur more. but make those fights first before going up. hes a small guy, he looked small against martin last night, came in 133, we can forget about him going to 140+ for ryan or Haney.

yes very upset with him not going after the haney fight, its a ***ing joke, these guys all know each other they all grew up together, sparred together ect and you cant make a ***ing fight with them? now haney is probably at 147 before long and that fight will never happen. and there was a huge demand for it when they were at the same weight class.

Tank had the "Regular" belts at 135 and 140 at the same time. He could have forced a purse bid with the "Super" champion whenever he wanted and he didn't.

how has the romero win aged well? he got beat up by a 40 year old and robbed him and then stopped by cruz. the only notable win cruz had was over romero who we established was terrible and barrios did have a nice win over ugas for sure but he was also drained vs tank with one of tanks patented rehydration clauses. thurman also easily beat barrios so hes clearly not a top level guy. also garcia was drained more than probably anyone in boxing history, a catchweight, and a rehydration clause? da f-uk
