    I do recall him and Floyd doing a press conference to state that they were going to wait him out a few years but idiots on this site seem to forget that FACT
    EXACTLY!! Loma losing a step while Tank comes into his prime... Suddenly Tank wants the fight, go figure! Even the Gimp and Dughum could figure that one out lol.

        Tank is just wilder 2.0 except he uses weight to drain opponents or to bring up tiny men. Wilder unfortunately didn't have that luxury and got exposed when he started fighting top guys. Hopefully tank never fights top guys and avoids that problem

          I fully disagree
          Tank has all the tools to be a huge star and a great boxer
          He just chooses not to
          Tank is making a killing fighting not up to par fighters
          This is not any better than the farce 60 000 + who bought tickets to Benn vs Eubanks
          Same chit
          Oh and Wilder only wishes he had the tools Tank has

            Tank was Lomachenko's WBA mandatory for over a year, but was afraid to fight him. Now that Loma is faded and distracted by the war, Tank is anxious to fight him. Pure cowardice.

Roach and Martin are decent, hard working, successful fighters. They are not in the same weight class of Davis and unfortunately it makes them look overhyped. Everyone deserves a chance, but fans deserve truth, and the irony here is it would be even more remarkable if Roach pulled it off. Davis refuses to fight a legitimate challenge... Thats facts.
                I agree with you

                  I don’t think he’s moving up. He needs to fight Shakur before he moves. Breadman has them as a 50/50 fight with him leaning slightly towards Shakur winning.

                  Tank is not looking to fight Shakur. Tank also ducked Lomachenko.

                    You just don't know the sport it's obvious. I don't like tank, or what he does, one bit. But he has talent and it's obvious.

                    Maybe not the amount that he gets credit for, Tonight certainly showed that... But you then just go off the reservation half ****ed and call him some sort of a fraud it's as stup id as doing that with Wilder and Ortiz.

                      Can't argue that, it certainly seems to be the pattern.
