Tank Davis comes in heavy at weigh-in

[jas]

It's just 0.2 pounds......

problem with that is you are going to fall victim to your own subjective biases. you did it in this very thread claiming salido was a bum because loma lost to him but that pedraza was a top guy because tank beat him. you can spin things all you want but that just lets tank off the hook. you should want him to fight the top guys just to get rid of the perception that hes a ducker even if you think he would destroy everyone.

Never said that. I always maintained Pedraza was C+.

And this unprofessional bantamweight beater keeps screaming “it was only one time”

**** this kid.

You said “nearly all” Rank Tank as #1 when they simply don’t. What is your ranking based on when you say nearly all? What you mean is YOU think he’s the #1 because you like him best.

You were bragging that Tank is a “two time champ” (he’s a paper champ FYI) now you say they don’t matter nor do consensus ranking organizations but saying I am biased for having Berchelt as #1 when it’s the popular opinion and backed up by a better, deeper resume.

The bold: Was waiting for this one.

I only use those corrupt belts when people say he fought nobody and big Loma up for being a unified champ. Then I point that out. That's a language casuals like you can understand.

I wish he never fought for any belts but just fought the best.

you just said...

Did Machado and Berchelt beat anyone close to Pedraza? What are their best wins?

I'll wait.

and the answer was yes. are you just claiming ignorance now? so if pedraza was C+ how can tnak be the best? it makes no sense. why are you complaining when guys with better resumes are ranked above him? thats the way it should be. tank has been given everything in boxing. free belts, easy opponents, not held accountable for sh-it resume. i guess his skills are so good you just overlook all that. other people just want to see him use those skills against the other top guys otherwise why be a fan?

then why are you his fan because he's not doing that. i would think you would be the most disappointed person with him.

That's how bad boxing in general is. We don't really have top notch, great fighters right now, based on competition. The highest ones we have are B+. Some with potential to be great (A+). My opinion. It's a forum.

Never claimed Pedraza was that good. C+ is generous for him.

I was disappointed. I got over it. Will give him this year and then I'll be roaring at him and Spence. Disappointing.

Looking at the state of boxing in general, it doesn't look that good.

the pedraza fight was over 2 years ago and he hasnt fought a ranked fighter since but ok give him another year. i think i see the pattern here... if he doens't fight a top 5 guy this year what will you do/say? those are pretty low standards but i think he can do it!
