What do you think is the reason why Tank Davis didn't want the Shakur fight?

      Your a clown lmao

        From what I recall, everyone was blaming Mayweather, and Tank went along with it just to divert the attention away from him who was also feeling the heat. Davis became a free agent as soon as he parted ways with Floyd. So it's been years since he became his own boss. Which meant he could have fought in any platform and worked with any promoter.

            jeez u are pure dumb
            Lol no dumbass that's just your OPINION...Crawford & Spence have been calling each out for years (remember the face off 6 years ago where Crawford threatened to KO Spence?). Anyway, like I said before, they couldn't get the fight made back then so Crawford was forced to 'cross the street' and align himself with Haymon in order to get the deal over the line.

            Just like Tank couldn't get a fight made between himself and the other top Lightweights who were all signed to Top Rank at the time e.g. Loma, Haney, Shakur, Lopez etc.

            That's also why you can't list ANY big cross-promotional fight between Top Rank & PBC over the last few years barring the obvious.

            Now buzz off you damn fool

              Tank's game is to get paid top dollar whilst minimizing any risk inside the ring. He probably won't ever face any top tier champions in their prime. He is who he is.

                So why was the fight only made AFTER Crawford left Top Rank Einstein?

                More BS
