    Tank is stuck at 130 and 135 forever

    at 140 and above he will get dominated. It wouldnt even look right at those weight classes. 5'3" with those stubby azzz arms. He would look like a short pudgy midget at welter.

    This is a good point. It will be tough for him at the hiugher weights if he doesn't learn to stay in shape. He does have some power doe so maybe he can win a few fights if he connects.

      I'm inclined to think the same way, but there are always exceptions to rules. Avtandil Khurtsidze was a high level 160lber & I think he was only an inch or two taller than Tank with T-Rex arms himself.

      Edit: According to Boxrec Avtandil is 5'6 & Tank is 5'5 1/2...anyone confirm those numbers are correct?.

      If Tank is an exception to the rule idk, but he's looked pretty f#cking good when he's taking the game seriously thus far in his still young career so if he could go up to 140 & have high level success it wouldn't be that shocking to me even if I wouldn't bet on it. Hopefully he matures & takes his career more seriously either way.

        I don't see too much success for him unless he learns some self-discipline. Losing a title on the scales is not the way you want to navigate your young career. If he can't or won't make 130, then it's time to get up to 135. But, if he is serious about fighting at 130, then the man to beat at that weight is Berchelt, and that is the fight I would most like to see at 130 right now.

          Lightweight will be his ceiling 140lbs & above is stretching it a bit. (Because of his physical size)

                Or what will happen is when he defeats a guy the guy will be called "trash" and then when someone else beats him the same guy will suddenly be good.

                Case in point-Pedrazza.

                  Good point on khurtsidze. IDK dude maybe those numbers are correct. What is broners height listed as? Cause tank looks 3-4 inches shorter standing next to broner and broner is pretty short himself.

                    pedraza is a nobody. hes a trash opponent but as long as you fight one tough opponent a year you can have a soft touch every so often. tank doesnt fight anyone good.
