    Tank has been a joke so far

    Davis+150
    Pedraza-170

    Since than hes been a -1000 to -3000 favorite.

    Misses wait, talks crap online, ducks any real challenges.

    Has one of the most vile fan bases that talks down on a fighter he would never fight unless he starts to age.


    You got one fighter who has the peter pan syndrome and stays young forever every year that passes even though hes 25, while you got 21 and 22 year olds wanting a Loma fight.

    i wont disagree if you think hes a punk or an idiot....i wont argue that because i really dont know

    but few things here

    first...let me know when teo/loma is official...because im not certain it happens....

    2nd....im going to offer a challenge to you...heres a list fighters....give me the names of the guys they were fighting at 24(i say this because tank just turned 25 in november)...ok ready?

    erroll spence
    bud crawford
    usyk
    golovkin
    loma

    please compile that list....and look at it...real hard and tell me what you honestly think

    now i know the argument...."he holds a belt"....

    now one guy im certain is a punk and an idiot is broner...i wont dispute that for a second....average fighter the more he moved up...decent heart though....

    remember what people said when he was claiming world titles across multiple weight classes? "he cherrypicked em....theyre easy to get...world titles are a dime a dozen these days....its easy to get one almost anyone can"

    now all of the sudden because its tank he all of the sudden has to have the resume of a p4p legend by the age of 24 because he has a belt

    belts dont mean all that much...they are easy to get...guys are getting cracks at them in their 2nd pro fight...how does that work? simply holding a belt does not tell a story or mean a heck of alot....anyone with the right backing and the right money can go get one....

    tanks age means more to me than trinkets.....hes coming along about the same/normal pace as everyone else....im not sure why everyone bags on him so much(actually i am...we have a bunch of insecure men who are threatned by black males...its pretty sad)....

    davis is being held to a different standard simply because hes floyd/haymon affiliated and holds a trinket......the guy knocked out the guy that gave loma his toughest fight

    i hope teo/loma goes through...i really do....but just look back at what people were saying about teo months ago "omg hes not ready hes gonna get killed...hes gonna ruin his career"......now they are all championing him to spite tank.....

    some of you guys need to look at yourselves....and try to be consistent with how you evaluate fighters and hold them all to the same standards

      Tank is a privileged fighter compared to GGG, Usyk or any European who had a tough time making a career. same with Crawford who was labeled boring early in his career before his rise. Tank from the start was tagged a the next big thing. Loma literally fought Salido for his 2nd fight at 25 and jumped straight to Russell after he lost. His fan base makes 10 videos of how overrated, bad, and how Loma fought no one and has a weak resume. But i assume that hate Loma for another reason.

      Tank fought Pedrza and from that point instead of keeping that level or going higher it was getting worse and worse.

        I just hope he doesn’t do a Broner, he really need to study Mayweather and his lifestyle of work.

          privileged eh? like getting a world title fight in your 2nd fight? usyk? he hasnt had a tough time making a career guy cmon....hes already got titles and ranked #1 by the wbo at HW with one fight at HW against a bum

          priviliged or not...doesnt mean anything to me....some guys are lucky enough to be that...some arent....comp is comp

          none of the guys listed have any notable comp at age 24...thats just reality....

          holding a trinket doesnt mean you have to a p4p resume at age 24....
