How do Machado and Tank fare against Takashi Uchiyama

Mr. KO Dynamite was considered the kingpin of the weight division for a few years. How do these fights go?

I'm not sure how Machado would do against him. For sure though I would pick Tank to knock Uchiyama out in the middle rounds.

Good question.
Uchiyama was good - but like most big punchers who don't fight elite opposition - probably overrated. He could definitely crack and his right hand was a killer shot, heavy and sharp - but He was also a bit one-dimensional, repetitive and volnurable himself.
Both Machado and Tank would be among the most talented guys that Uchiyama would face and both fights would be explosive shoot outs.

Going back to Machado's tough fights with Morales and Jezreel - I think Uchiyama would deal with him. Probably just a bit sharper and heavier hitter. Tough fight though.
Gervonta fight would be similar, but Tank seems a bit slicker and even more explosive, so I'd make him a favorite definitely... but We don't yet know How He takes a shot.

Shame that in his prime, Uchiyama didn't get that career defining fight. Remember when Bob wanted to make Mikey vs Uchiyama in Macau, before Mikey decided to try to break his contract. I was really excited about it back then.

I wanted the Uchiyama and Miura rematch/unification. That had potential to be the biggest japanese fight in history.

Like Corrales in their first fight, both stop him IMO

My opinion is similar.

Not good at hypothetical fights, but I'd love to see Davis vs Loma, Mikey, Machado, Berchelt, Farmer, and all comers. In any order, between 130 and 135.

Floyd should get his shit together and fight this young cub at least 4 times a year, even 3. What a waste!

Do you really want to see Davis vs. Loma though? I don't see it as competitive yet. I think Davis has all of the potential in the world but I haven't seen enough of him yet.

Well, even I wanted it right now, it wouldn't happen until at least 2020, if at all. You seem to be underrating Davis.

Loma is fighting the guy Davis beat the shit out of next, followed maybe by Mikey (I don't believe it), maybe another fight after that.

Davis will probably fight Mares (please no), Farmer, Machado, or someone else within the top 10 ranks. The soonest I can see it happening is 2020, with all these promotional divide BS.

It might not even happen.

Trust me I'm not underrating Davis but he needs to show more steps to his game. If Floyd finally starts letting him fight then I can see him giving Loma that work. But it would take several years of developing Davis. 2020 is actually a good estimate of when I want the fight to go down.
