Comments Thread For: Crawford Criticizes Davis' Win Against Gamboa; Tank Responds

[Marvlus Marv]

you were getting bull****ted when the patriots were like 15.5 favorites on sunday against the dolphins...or when ruiz was AJs opponent

then they played the games and fought the fights....

you didnt get the result you were expecting so of course the only possible reason is both parties are trash right? lol

tank just turned 25...november

who were crawfords opponents at 24? how about spence? how about golovkin, usyk and loma? how about josh taylor?

i like bud...but his resume is still weak and hes 32...what his excuse? the pbc guys wont fight him? then why he get real quiet when porter said he was ok'd to make a deal?

It's not about age it's about his age in fights. When you are approaching 25 fights and people are still asking "What live dogs has he fought?". Loma and Taylor, as you well know, are dancing with the very best on offer in their divisions in way less fights. Let's keep that bit real, at least.

Both are cowards !

no it is about age...because at tanks age loma was still fighting ams in headgear....and who was taylor fighting?

canelo alvarez 23 fights in was fighting a guy called larry mosley...not shane mosley..larry.....are we gonna say "well canelo was only 19 or 20(whatever has then)? no you guys dont wanna say that...you want to talk "23 fights in"

just because a guy started earlier doesnt mean anything....age is a major factor

yes you may have a teo that might get the loma fight at 22(this remains to be seen i still have doubts till its finalized)...you have a canelo fighting floyd at 24....thats extremely rare...and both should be praised for it.....but its rare...its not the norm....so why hold tank to a standard that is pretty basic....he turned 25 in november.....again...who were crawford, spence, usyk, golovki, loma, taylor etc fighting at 24?

some guys start at 16...some at at 18...some at 22...some at 26...you need to look at age vs competition......people want to talk about how loma fought salido in his 2nd pro fight....but mikey beat salido when he was the same age as loma was when he took the fight....loma thought he was so good it didnt matter and that he was def ready for something like that....

when tank is 27, 28, 31 and still not taking on the best youll have a legit gripe

By the time Tank is 29 he'll be on about 35 fights and at this rate Pedraza will still be his best scalp. All your points are sound and you make them well but surely he's maxed out on his prep and now we need to see him against one of the big names at 135.

thats your guess or opinion...if pedraza is still the best name on tanks resume by 29 then yeah ill be saying the same stuff you are and ill be bagging on him...because contrary to belief i dont care what happens to tank..i dont care if loma does a calzaghe/lacy on his arse...it doesnt bother me one bit

but watching the average progression of most of the big name guys over the last 10 years or so tank is not behind...hes basically right on schedule....maybe even slightly ahead when you factor in overall exposure.....

tanks resume at just turning 25 is no worse than just about every top 20 p4p fighter....some people cant wrap their heads around that though....they want to hold him to a different standard....a p4p standard even....hes not rated p4p anywhere either!

all because he holds a belt or two? they told us belts were cheap and anyone with money and connections can get one! they dont cry about loma getting a title shot in his 2nd pro fight through money and connection...what do they say? "his amatuer pedigree says he deserved it"...they actually say that!

[MexicanStyle#1]

Crawford stating facts!!! Everyone knows tank has shown nothing yet. But the ****** sewer **** are way too many and will support no matter what!!!

[lowblows420]

Stank should stop talking before he gets his ass beat by Crawford...forcing Floyd to come out of retirement and get his ass beat too and catch 50-1

[TheWinners]

Shouldn't Crawford be worried about getting a legitimate fight at welterweight instead of what tank is doing at lightweight? He hating on another man's work when he still lacks a career defining fight. Didn't an article come out recently saying he doesn't want to fight Shawn Porter? The question is who in the world do you want to fight?

[Bandman]

Crawford is 32. Who's the best name on his resume?

Postol
Khan
Gamboa
Horn

I'd say Postol is his best career win because i remember ppl saying he was ducking.
