Comments Thread For: Tank vs. Jake?! Five guys Gervonta Davis should be fighting instead

[just the facts]

i knew tanks career would turn out this way. when he was 23 you had people saying hes still young give him time after he fought bum after bum. it was pretty clear they were just trying to create something out of thin air with easy opponents and lock in that big money. he wouldnt even fight tevin farmer or alberto machado. sad part is it worked because here he is raking in the money for this kind of crap.

Given your historically dim view of black fighters, I don’t think any regular poster here gives any credibility to your opinion.

He already has monetary wealth, what he doesn't have is a wealth of legacy. He doesn't care about legacy or what the fans want.

I don’t many fighters care about legacy and especially not what the fans want. Probably none.

This yellow POS coward will never step in a ring with Shakur.

So you’re suggesting that he should fight Shakur instead for 10% of the money? Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way.

I don’t ever remember him talking about legacy.

Of course not, that is for fighters who want to become great.

When fighters want to become great, it shows by the fighters they fight. Boxing still has those fighters. Usyk, Crawford, Inoue, Jesse Rodriguez, are chasing greateness or have become great. Other fighters don't have that drive. It is what it isn't as I like to say. A good example of an excellent but maybe not great fighter who I really like is Stephen Fulton. This guy fights anyone and everyone. He's fought the whose who. Almost no fighter does that. I salute that man. He's earned his place in my heart.

If he was European he would be called Euro bum.

This is the cold hard truth.

He’s never looked convincing, when asked about potential opponents.

Some have that spark in them to be great, he does not. Unless or until he does, he'll be outside the top 10.

Muratella? Abdullah Mason VS Sam Noakes Winner? Maybe have Usyk's Farewell To Boxing Fights VS Jake Paul and then after Jake Paul goes Night Night Then Usyk VS Logan Paul on the Same Card As Tank Vs Muratella, or Noakes or Mason. Then Tank VS Lamont Roach. Silly Huh?

Weird.

Even though I recognize it for the freak show that it is. I'd watch it and might even pay for it.

okay, it's not fair that Tank robbed Roach and now won't rematch him but I can't pretend I wouldn't watch Jake vs Tank.

"""A very well managed fighter, with no risks involved in matchmaking"""

That's why he has lost a lot of respect from the boxing community and fans.
