Davis is what is wrong with boxing and Haney+Lopez is what is right about boxing

[ThatDude44]

he's only 21. that means he has 4 more years of bum service to do before he can get to the majors

If you go by the GGG blueprint he has about 15 more years of bum fights left.

I think it would be acceptable for Tank and Crawford to stay in the kiddie pool as long as they liked if they weren't constantly hyped to be/self proclaimed p4p/super stars...

[Slicc]

Why Davis getting so much hate is it because he is associated with Floyd Mayweather?

It's not so much Tank's association with him, but more so the protection and unjustified hype him and Ellerbe have been giving Tank.

You can't honestly argue Haney and Teofimo are doing better considering Tank signed to fight Mares and Gamboa this year

I don't get why some Tank fans are making Mares and Gamboa out to be supreme opponents for him. Mares had never fought above 126 before, and hadn't beaten a decent fighter in years. Gamboa's pushing 40, has a glass chin and fought most of his bout with Davis on one leg. Right now, Lopez's win over Commey is even better than Tank's best win, let alone Gamboa or a possible victory over Mares. Haney doesn't have a better resume than Davis, but Mares and Gamboa are not the guys you should be using as proof of that, lol.

Unlike GGG, everyone wants to fight Tank.

OP was saying Lopez and Haney I was comparing who Tank was scheduled to fight to both of those guys are you saying Tank year wouldn't be comparable to those two? Even throw Lomachenko in the mix with his British ass whopping tour of 2019


Gamboa is not a bad 1st fight at 135 outside of Farmer there really wasn't anyone for Tank to fight at 130 or bring up a Featherweight let's see what he does in 2020

If we're talking about this year, then Loma and Lopez obliterate Tank. Campbell and Commey disintegrate anyone Tank has fought this year. You know what? I think Haney's wins over Santiago, Abdullaev and Ndogeni demolish any of Tank's wins this year. All 3 of them were undefeated prospects before facing Haney. Hugo Ruiz was a world chempion for like a day at 122, beat bums at 126 and got KTFO by Tank at 130. Nunez got knocked out by a guy with 12 wins and 10 losses . Gamboa and his ankle are shot to pieces.

Gamboa's one of the worst guys he could've found at 135, especially as a test. What was he expecting to learn, knocking out the corpse of a guy who never even belonged in the weight class? Davis had Farmer, Loma and Machado calling him out at 130. Even if what you said were true, a win over Farmer would've meant much more than his victories against the bums he fought after Pedraza.

He looked like trash against Gamboa, so I don't think he's very eager to face any stiff challenges anytime soon. After all, he did say he wants to fight Santa Cruz on ppv next year.

Davis is everything that is wrong with boxing, fights bums, cherry picks, fights shot fighters, fights injured fighters while avoiding a fighter with any instance of resistance in them.

While Lopez and Haney on the other hand is everything right about boxing, Lopez at tender age of 22, fights a fellow prospect, fights to be a mandatory challenger, then fights a champion, become a champion, and then unifies with an another champion.

Haney fights a fellow prospect, fights a mandatory interim bout and becomes a mandatory, and immediately wants to fight a champion.

These 2 guys are what boxing needs, and Davis is what kills boxing.

In his 17th fight, in 2017, he defeated Pedraza, who a year later fought Loma.

Last night, at 25 years old, he fought Gamboa, who was 38 years old. In what was designed as a showcase fight .

When Loma was 25 he had the same type of fight against Salido.

You are a diehard Manny fan, correct? As such I think you are doing 2 things with this thread:

#1- letting your bitterness toward Floyd cloud your vision.

Tank isn’t hurting the sport by filling arenas and taking the kind of fights that hundreds of other guys have taken at this stage in their career.

Does he need to fight better opponents and be more professional, absolutely.

#2- over reacting to a bad week/night by Tank and becoming a prisoner of the moment.

Tank up to this point had as good, if not better, a resume as Haney or Lopez. This one fight didn’t swing the pendulum so much that it warranted this thread.

You are projecting your negative feelings toward Floyd into Davis Because Floyd promotes Davis.

Davis is what kills boxing.

Stop it with this half hater bs, half emo bs. Boxers arent killing boxing. The f#cking boxers MAKE boxing.

Whats hurting boxing is corrupt ABC groups making titles like McDonalds makes hamburgers & these commissions that have the integrity of a crack wh#re. The problems in boxing are structural & well above any one boxer, manager or promoters paygrade.

That said its possible promoters could join forces & make a ent!ty like a boxing version of the NFL or UFC & weed out ABC groups but that'd take an act of allah cuz have these promoters can't sit in a room together to make one big fight a year between them let alone do day to day business with each other even if it was for the best long term for the sport & their own.bank account when.boxing got to where it can be in the sports world if it moved like most sports move.

[alexguiness]

The link with Floyd doesn't help to be honest, its a really hard stain to wash out as well.

That aside, missing weight at 25 and acting the thug life never really helps build credibility in professional boxing either.

Finally, the fact that he has the personality of brain damaged infant works against him.

[Eff Pandas]

I still haven't seen anything impressive about Haney yet, can this guy fight somebody with a pulse already? Just don't get the hype.

Most mfers havent fought anyone with a pulse outside of maybe 5 top ten guys give or take on average in most divisions probably. What Devin's "hype" is based on is what hes done against no pulse mfers that other mfers couldnt do vs no pulse mfers. That means something in this era where name vs name fights are few & far between. And the general eye test that says to most this kid is on some other sh^t.
