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

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?

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.

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.Comment

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.Comment

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.

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

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.Comment
