tank davis gets triggered at comparisons to gassiev

Please point me in the direction of that thread. It's hardly surprising. He was ducking Easter 3 weeks ago, then he was cherry picking him 2 weeks ago, now he's cherry picking Linares and ducking the welterweight division.

Aha should be in my post history as I responded to it. Can't remember the name of the thread though sorry.

Well true but I doubt this would be a big deal if it wasn't a Floyd promoted boxer.

Maybe.. I remember people getting pretty pissy with Canelo after he won his title

Cause it's a good fight? Why you all so scared of tank losing? All tank has to do is win a couple of rounds, not quit and his reputation will be enhanced. Or does he have to retire or something if he loses?

LMFAO. I am not scared of Tank losing, I am predicting Tank will lose.

The point I made earlier was comparing Tank to Erickson Lubin. Lubin stepped up way over his head and took a vicious KO. No reason for Tank to take a KO loss like that.

I also compared him to Oscar Valdez, another young champion. Valdez is fighting Quigg next, not Santa Cruz or another top tier FW.

It is surprising you think this would be a good fight, given you have posted Loma is as good as Floyd, Tank isn't as good as Canelo was, and you feel Canelo was "too green" for Floyd.

you have to make the step up at some point though. its sink or swim at the highest level. Instead of spending years and years gradually 'preparing yourself' just ****ing fight them in the first place, if you lose so be it, learn from it and improve and youll probably get another shot. Some fighters step up and pass the test. Some fighters dont, like lubin. In fact lomachenko didnt when he lost to salido. But its not the end of the road when you lose, provided you learn from the experience and come back stronger. You have to let fighters off the leash at some point. In my opinion theres no intention of working towards that fight anyway, its likely lomachenko is going to keep moving up the weights. But to be honest if he doubts himself that much, and his handlers doubt him, i cant imagine hes ever going to be a good enough calibre fighter to beat someone like lomachenko.

WTF? No justification needed. Literally everyone credible on this site thinks Loma murks Tank right now.

WHy do you want to see it now?

Because I want the best fighting the best of each divisions. What's the problem? Loma is moving up to 135 now so it's over. But they were #1 and #2 at 130.

We agree about years. That said, you are jumping the gun with that complaint.

Yes, you can have that attitude but no promoter does when building a fighter. They are trying to maximize profit for that fighter. you of course know this-which is why GGG kept koing bums or was willing to got to 168 for Chavez jr or Froch and didn't show the same enthusiasm to fight Ward at that weight.

Agree you have to let him off the leash at some point, which is why you fight salido or Machado before you fight a Loma or Berchelt.

Wait a sec. A few minutes ago it was a good fight. Now you cant imagine hes ever going to be a good enough caliber fighter to beat someone like loma. Make up your mind homie.

Tank was never #2 at 130. If you want the best fighting the best then Loma/berchelt should fight, Tank should fight Machado and the winners unify.
