    He is on the right track to Super Stardom, just have to keep winning and keep destroying whoever Mayweather and Ellerbe put in front of him. The Big fights are coming

      The shelf life at the smaller weights is shorter -age 24 he's in the middle of his prime right now. It was different weight classes, but thinking back... Morales fought Barerra the first time at like 24yrs old, Barrera 26. Davis seems like he'd be like a year away from that kind of opponent. Gotta leave some time in case the ***** hits the fan and he has to recover and rebuild

        Yeah. That must be it. You're just too smart for me, man.

        Your point that Tank should be cut some slack because he's doing well for his age clearly takes some MENSA level brain to understand, but what you don't seem to be getting is that I ain't addressing that trivial bit of fanboyism at all, cos.. well... it ain't really worth addressing. What I was doing was commenting on how any validity your point might have had was completely undermined by your blatant hypocrisy.

          how many guys in the sport can tick off even one of those boxes at 24?

          what were bud and spence doing at 24? were they making davis money? were they selling out? were they headlining showtime and hbo cards? loma was still fighting kids in headgear.....

          stop hating on the guy...hes ahead in the business aspect of the game...ahead of alot of guys....but i get it...business doesnt matter if its a black guy or guy you dont like or a guy with the pbc

          but if golovkin is ducking ward to wait another year and half to fight canelo "cause duh its smart business" its ok.....some of you are so deluded and twisted with hate its sickening......

          hes 24 and has a ton of time to build a real resume....yall celebrated a guy that took his first meaningful fight at age 34 lol
          - -Been falling apart at the seams.

          Talent a dime a dozen in boxing. Takes more than that for greatness.

            the fact that, im making a valid point,and you are calling it "fanboyism" tells me all about the level of intelligence Im dealing with....theres no hypocrisy in what i said....the guys resume is no worse than many of the top 10 p4p guys when they were 24...and hes ahead of the curve on almost all of them as far as exposure and purses......ur just a dumb twat plain and simple...and its not trivial...its fact

              Man, sure. Tank's resume is fine and the kid's making decent money, though his level of competition since Pedraza frankly ain't great. I don't hate on the kid - or on any other fighter for that matter - I think he's a superb talent... problem is you start a thread simultaneously complaining about folk hating on a guy you like whilst spewing crap about other fighters. That's the problem here.... thing is I don't think you even got the self awareness to realise what you're doing. You actually seem to earnestly believe that somehow you're fighting the good fight with right on your side instead of the reality which is that you're just one more partisan dude coming up with all kinda rationalisations as to why it's OK to hate on some guys and not on others. That's why I'm calling you a fanboy, man.

              Why hate on any of these fighters?... what? because some other online asshole spouted shit about a guy you like? And you admired this behaviour so much that you decided to emulate it, huh?

              You're just the same as the guys you're complaining about. Have some self respect, man.

                Buddy, it's how he handles himself. When you say ****** things online and talk ***** about certain fighters... but are scared to death of them... It's an issue.

                  when making a point sometimes you have to use other fighters as a point of reference...its just how it works....people make comparisons...im sorry you dont like it....you just need to vent and let out whatever anger it is you need to...so go ahead....people use other athletes as a point of reference all of the time when arguing/debating others all of the time

                  have a conversation about who the greatest qb is of all time? someone says tom brady? guess what? others are going to talk about some of the things that peyton manning or montana did or didnt do....thats how it works....your lack of understanding of this shows a serious lack of ability to reason

                    lol....if a 26 year old tank wants to fight loma...you guys will all cry that davis waited for loma to get old....its exactly what would happen....it would run rampant online "Tank waited for him to get old blah blah"...yet tank would be the same age most guys actually start stepping up their level of comp

                    do you know that tank is actually scared to death of loma? or could it be his handlers dont wanna put him in there with him at this point? scared to death?!?!?! lol....

                      the standard for "greatness" in boxing has apparently been going down the tubes for quite a while now.....

                      when a guy takes his first meaningful fight at age 34 and is considered "great"?!?!?! well, my friend, you guys have set a low standard
