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

      heres a nice little recent quote from shakur, its quite funny u might like it too, its shak talking about tank

      "When my name is asked, it seems like he gets very frustrated, in his feelings. He's just got to live with it until he fights me. If he feels that way, I think we should fight. Get it off your chest."

      LOL

      quite amusing right?

        so is it your position that tank wanted to fight all these guys but couldnt due to the issues u highlight?
        I said that in the recent PAST when Tank was signed to PBC and all the other top Lightweights were signed to Top Rank e.g. Shakur, Teofimo, Lomachenko, Haney etc, the fight was almost impossible to make. If you don't believe me, LIST all of the BIG cross-promotional fights between Top Rank & PBC fighters in the last decade (you keep forgetting to do this). After all, there's a reason why Crawford had to 'cross the street' in order to make one of the biggest fights in recent history.

        Got it?

          Now that he's completely changed his style and no longer affiliated with Top Rank, the fight with Tank should be much easier to make.

            shak hasnt changed his style, he will fight his usual style when he feels threatened, that guy zepeda barely fell over the line v ole farmer twice and even got dropped by him, stop talking crazy stuff

                so the only thing stopping tank davis facing all his rivals in his weight class year after year after year was the fact he was with pbc and they blocked all the fights happening, is that right?

                  Lol are you joking? Literally everybody was saying he looked like a completely different fighter and barely ran despite Zepeda being a puncher and swarming him all night long. In fact, he wobbled Shakur badly at one point. Anyhow, it remains to be seen if this was just a ONE-OFF but I have a feeling that he took Turki's 'Tom and Jerry' comments to heart and will continue to fight this way going forward in order to avoid falling out with the Saudis who effectively run boxing now.

                      In the past when all his rivals were signed to Top Rank...YES!

                      Still waiting for that list of recent cross-promotional fights between PBC & Top Rank. Don't bother replying without this.
