Tank vs Roach is a joke of a fight. Minimize the damage, increase the pay. Honestly, Floyd changed the texture of boxing for the worse

Floyd wasn't fighting competition this weak. Pretty poor comparison.

Edwin DeLos Santos could have been a far better pick. And Wahid would still be competing with Shakur in terms of comparing their performances against a common opponent. And that's exactly it would have been marketed as a selling pitch -- "Would Abdul be able to do it better than Shakur?"

So who is to blame other than Davis for this fight happening?

[ELPacman]

If Tank wants to retire after this **** fight, so be it. History won't remember him. Then he'll realize in the future that he wasted his talents when he had a lot more left to give.

Haha you dumb ****wit. What's a casual and ordinary fattie like you going to do to get Tank and his team to face top quality opposition? NOTHING. You have no power, no name, no connections in the business. You can comment 1000x all you like on Tank's page to get him to fight top opponents and your comments would still be ignored. Heck, a million, billion, trillion times, it will still be ignored.

WHY? BECAUSE YOU'RE A NOBODY YOU FAT AMERICAN FRIED CHICKEN LOVER

Hey now, nothing wrong with some good ole tasty fried chicken every now and them. About once or twice a month is alright without it clogging up your arteries.....

I agree. I have KFC here and there. I always feel gross after a 3 piece chicken tho, but darn ain't it tasty and unhealthy!

Floyd actually fought great competition, though. He was an annoying diva and a scumbag, but he got in the ring and beat the best fighters in four different divisions. He's one of only two men (the other is Pacquiao) to be lineal king in four weight classes. That doesn't happen by accident. Even lower tier Floyd opponents are better than the best guys Davis has ever faced.

Davis is acting like late career Canelo except he didn't build up the legitimate resume of early to mid career Canelo. He has maybe three or four good wins to his name which is pathetic for a guy with as many years in the sport as Davis has.

I dont think he's arguing the career from 135 and below

Shakur Schofield is worse. Tank Shakur should be fighting each other

I disagree that it is worse on paper, unless you mean otherwise. They have history, are in the same weight class, and are both undefeated. Roach is a 130lb champion moving up just to fight Tank and go back. Tank is #1 in the division and instead of fighting someone in the top 10 of the division, he is fighting a 130lb champion.

At 140 and above Floyd fought DeMarcus Corley, Arturo Gatti, Sharmba Mitchell, Zab Judah, Carlos Baldomir, Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Juan Manuel Marquez, Shane Mosley, Victor Ortiz, Miguel Cotto, Robert Guerrero, Canelo Alvarez, Marcos Maidana twice, Manny Pacquiao, and Andre Berto.

What are you talking about?

I'm not saying it's a great match up but Shakur Schofield is way worse. He is fighting a prospect with 0 experience fighting at world level.

Roach might be champ at 130 but still a world champ with experience with opponents who were at world level.

That was Floyd's path to his "legacy". Now fighters don't want to take risks. Ruined the mentality of future fighters and the sport as a whole.

Can’t blame Floyd totally. He did fight a very dangerous Canelo, Corrales, Castillo & Judah. All the rest was PERFECTLY timed to be beat by him.
