Tank Davis comes in heavy at weigh-in

[BoxingIsGreat]

Don’t you have like Spence at #2 or 3 pound for pound and now you are bashing his resume (which is also weak). So let me get this straight. You are a resume guy when you dislike a guy and have a bias and higher standard for what’s acceptable (ie Pedraza is great for Tank but it’s a bum for Loma) but then conveniently aren’t a resume guy or big up smaller crap fighters like 2 years rusty moving up Cuellar when it’s a guy you like?

When talking P4P, resume doesn't come into the equation for me. It's all skills, the original meaning.

We are now talking about division bosses. Different thing.

I couldn't even get through the list I made with Machado as number one, followed by Berchelt, then Davis. Didn't seem right.

Give us the names of the legendary Tank’s resume.

Berchelt has beaten Vargas, Roman, Miura and Barros. I’d say Pedraza is perhaps a little better than each individually but that’s depth and multiple opponents. Tank is living off a win vs. an opponent you rate as C+.

Machado beat Corrales who after Loma was clearly the best of the rest in the division. He doesn’t have much else but Corrales at 130 is definately better and more accomplished than Pedraza.

Who Mr. Loma looked amateurish next to. I actually thought I was watching an amateur fight.

He won 10 or 11 rounds fighting with one arm and dominated. I think your overstating the “struggle” for agenda purposes.

Even Pedraza said Loma is MUCH better than Tank.

the transnational rankings are even worse for tank because they probably factored in pedrazas gift win over cherry so they had him at #8. so tanks best win is a guy ranked 6-8. how can yo talk about resumes and tank being the best? if its just skils then its completely subjective and you could say anyone is the best and they take advantage of your leniency by fighting bums over and over cause they are already "the best" without ever having to prove it

[BoxingIsGreat]

why would tank be ranked above them? not sure fighting a lot of small bums should enable you to pass them up but hype gives you lots of advantages in boxing.

Loma was beaten by a journeyman Salido. What's your point? I can't imagine someone like Salido ever beating Davis.

Pedraza said
He still has nightmares from that trashing. Top Rank promotions stablemates.

More cushion for the pushin

Root hard for Davis to lose tomorrow.
I'll be loving this the next few years.

Buckle all up!

Salido is a far more accomplished fighter than Tank. Tank wouldn’t go near him in his 2nd or 10th fight. Salido has been in with and beaten better fighters than Tank. Prime JuanMa for example far more proven than Tank. Robert Guerrero who he schooled also far more accomplished than Tank. Just a couple examples.

you can't imagine davis losing period and thats why you let him fight bum after bum without criticizing him. you think he would win even if he fought good fighters so its all the same to you. its not the same though. there is a huge difference between top guys and the guys tank is fighting. even his best win was only the 6th to 8th best guy in the division so how can you claim he's the top guy? thats like the patriots winning one round in the playoffs then saying "NO MORE GAMES WE ARE THE BEST, from now on we are just going to play little league games" then relying on their crazy fans to say "well they would have won anyway so who cares!"
