Well, So Much For The Idea That Tank Won't Be In Shape

Nah. Floyd’s not even in shape there. Floyd looks about 5lbs over and Tank still got weight mgmt to full fill while looking way thinner in the ring. Therefore, Tank is about 155 since they’re going for a serious camp with a challenging drain.

Keep imagining.

Personally, I'd rather he fights at 140 or even 147, if weight is an issue. He looks solid now. He should fight at whatever weight he wants. Screw the belts.

We’ve seen Loma blown up on the off season to 155 and he wasn’t “fat,” just not ready for a fight. I’m not saying Tank is fat just so you know.

Floyd is getting a good workout here.

I remember that pic they posted with the roid gut.

Check out Plant too. I called it a roid a gut. I’m probably naive, but if gym **** are so optimized in the abs but then binge off stuff they shouldn’t be doing, especially alcohol, perhaps... though look at Kovalev, assume he was a “heavy” drinker which I doubt, but the dude had always been in shape... I’ve even seen Gervonta with that gut. It could all just be the normal tbh. Body builders are a different animal.

I’d like to give him the benefit of the doubt, but people just are who they are. How many times have we seen it before? “If this guy could just do this, then he’d be that.” Zab Judah and Adrian broner are 2 examples at the top of everyone’s “could have been” list, but there are countless others. A fighters level maturity, discipline, dedication are all rolled into their personality and who they are at the core. Like I said, he’s fairly young, so maybe he comes around, but I won’t be holding my breath.

I can't disagree. I understand completely why people are down on Tank. My only thing is he could change and mature. We've seen any number of professionals change how they handle their business. Hopefully, after the last public episode and the fallout from it, he learned from it and made some changes.

It's one thing if you get beat. It's another thing if you beat yourself and sabotage your own career like Tank seemed to be doing so far.

Tank looks like he's 168 right now. Doesn't matter if Floyd is in his camp, Floyd can't cut the fat off of him.

It probably depends on the amount of the fine per pound.
If it's only $1 mil/lb, no problem. Limit is 5 lbs doe.

A lot of posters want Tank to fail because he is aligned with Floyd and Haymon.

They desperately want him to keep being the unprofessional slob that has out of the ring issues.

Their greatest fear is that he matures because even these bigoted haters realize a focused Tank, backed by Haymon, trained and advised by Floyd, with his drawing ability and punching power, is a real threat to beat their heroes in the future. Top of that list is Loma.

A lot of us just dislike Tank for how he acts out of the ring, and how undisciplined he is.
