"Tank" vs LWs from other eras

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Never out, and when pacquio hurt anyone he will finish the job, not with Marquez, so I like his chances, too bad we will never get to see it. Below is a list of his most notable opponents, I don't see anyone similar on tank list, maybe pitbull.
Freddie Norwood
Manny Pacquio(4)
Marco A. barrera
Orlando Salido
Chris John
Rocky Juarez
Joel Casamayor
Juan Diaz (twice)
Bradley
Kasidis
Mayweather

Pacquiao let a lot of guys off the hook. Algieri would the most obvious example.

Marquez had the better career no doubt but as I said in a fantasy matchup, I’d side with Tank, I just think he clips him at some point.

Even though David Diaz was a weak challenger, there was no real reason for manny to stay at 135 after that fight. I know, because I was in the middle of those conversations. Nate had already beaten Juan Diaz for the unified titles, so after Manny beat David for the WBC title, Don King set up a meeting with Bob Arum to try and make Manny vs Nate for undisputed. The talks didnt really progress too far, as we found out that they were also talking to Oscar. They ended up making manny-oscar, and who can blame them. Right after manny-oscar, Nate missed weight for the Funeka fight, and all the titles got separated. Manny fought Hatton at 140, and never went back to 135

Ok. Insider info. Nice.

I can’t dispute any of this. Just making the point that beating Morales after he beat Manny didn’t get Raheem a fight but Diaz beating 3 loss in a row Morales, 2 in a row to Manny, got him that fight.

Tank’s great, but against Pacquiao, JMM, Castillo, and Corrales at 135lbs, I think he’d have a tough time. Those guys were legends with crazy skills.

having the WBC title is what got David Diaz the fight, plain and simple. Manny was collecting titles (and paydays) at that point. Raheem brought neither a title nor a payday to the dance.

He will get clip, keeping him down is the problem, and Tank would have to stand a return fire like he has only seen on tv.

Diaz got it because he was ranked #2 and was the WBC Champion.

Pretty much the same reason Ortiz for a fight with Floyd.

It's fair game.
