    Tank Davis is now past prime

    Just wanted to say thanks champ for all the great fights you gave us. It's clear all the tough fights have taken its toll on you.

    Some of your career highlights that I will never forget: 3 wins over top 10 ring ranked opponents in 7 and a half years: Pedraza #6 Cruz #9 Martin #5. Didn't count barrios(rehydration clause)

    7 out of your last 15 fights have been against guys moving up or guys with rehydration clauses.

    I think it's time for you to take that final timeout and call it a career. You don't want to turn into wilder by taking on top guys and losing. That would tarnish your legacy. let us remember you at your best...knocking over tomato cans and teeny tiny men.

          He has no legacy - and like he said he only cares about money. He will be forgotten as soon as he retires and never talked about again.

                  He is entertaining to watch, but it is really not so hard to get all these stoppage wins over cans, smaller guys, drained guys ( Ryan Garcia).

                  Andre Berto type of the guy.

                    The Hall of Fame in Boxing is nothing special, certainly not on the level of Cooperstown for baseball. Wilder is done. Unless he repurposed himself for cruiserweight, light heavy... Tank could maybe stop his Baloney and seriously try to challenge himself. Two different situations entirely.
