How long will Tank Davis go before he fights a top 10 opponent?

[QueensburyRules]

just for comparisons sake wilder went 3 years and 2 months before fighting someone in the top 10. we thought that was bad...we thought that couldnt be topped. we were wrong. we were so wrong!

- -First Ring top 10 for Deyonce was the first Stiverne fight where Stiverne had only been there a few months.

What grade U in?

stank davis is trash! he's not a star and never will be! his lack of discipline and testicular fortitude killed whatever potential he had!

hey lets not bash people without testicles. thats uncalled for. just because tank has a medical condition where his balls have literally disappeared in front of our eyes doesnt mean you get to come on here and criticize him for it. i will not stand for it sir! apologize to hte nut-less wonder known as tank davis now!

i started counting once they reached championship level. not once they turned pro. it was 3 years and 2 months after that until he fought another top 10 guy. just like its been 4 years since tank has done it. pedraza was ranked 6 when tank fought him and since...crickets

and i'm in third grade why?

its also clearly documented that ggg wanted to fight anyone in his division while its clearly documented that tank avoided the top guys in his division, at least some of them. the others he didnt even entertain fighting or try for one second to fight. so once again hammer on head emoji. if tank was at least trying to fight guys like loma, berchelt, etc... and they turned him down or something like that i would be kind of sympathetic buttt hes not doing that.

I'm not taking up for Stank. I am no fan of his at all. It's just people like you only give PBC fighters sheeit but say nothing about bum beating hype jobs like GGG and Crawford. Supposed p4p fighters with seriously weak resumes that bum hunted 90+% of their careers. At least GGG fought Jacobs, Canelo, and Derevyanchenko after he got old though. Crawford though...

The Mayweather vs McGregor undercard showed tank isn't ready for guys like Loma. He missed weight and had a terrible fight on the biggest fight card he will ever be on. Most forget how sheeit he looked in that fight. His power is vastly overrated. Washed up glass jaw Gamboa with an injury lasted way too long. I think Berchelt, Loma, Haney, and Lopez all beat Tank. He's not disciplined and vastly overrated just because he's Floyd's fighter.

Go to Vegas a ask him

no way. remember when he beat up that woman? she asked him the same thing! the only person who can ask him that question is a boxer ranked in the top 10. we know he wont fight them!

i get what you are saying but your narrative simply isnt true. the stats bear that out. ggg fought 10 top guys in 5 years once he made it the states while tank has fought 1 his first 4 years as a champ so why would you expect me to say they are similar? ggg was also trying to fight any top guy in the division and tank has not tried one bit. once again not similar. opposites actually.

i dont know about crawford. its possible he needs some bashing too but hes so boring i never think of him. i know he beat 2 top 5 guys at 135 and 2 top 3 guys at 140. he beat jeff horn who beat pac and was in the top 5 or 10. so yeah once again thats not comparable to a guy like tank fighting 4 years in a row without fighting a top 10 guy. if you are expecting a leonard like 3 year run where he fights benitez, hearns, kalule, and duran twice. its prob not happening in boxing anymore. if you want to say on a macro level all boxers are fighting weak competition i agree, but if you want to compare individuals within that narrative ggg has been one of the better guys the last 6-7 years so comparing him to tank doesnt seem fair at all.

jermall charlo was about to match tank's amazing 4 year no top 10 opponent streak but he was embarrassed to be compared with that ball-less wonder known as tank davis so he signed to fight dervy. well done!

I love how the narrative has changed and GGG is being blamed for his opponents not being willing to step into the ring with him.
Martinez wanted nothing to do with him when GGG was on a tear.

And now it’s being suggested GGG was ducking hard fights and taking easy fights in his prime.

Tank Davis ducking lomachenko and the way he reacts when he hears his name is one of the worst ducks I’ve seen in recent history.
Let’s not put prime GGG and tank farking Davis on the same level. That dude has no love or respect for boxing whatsoever.

his first ever fight in the states was supposed to be against pirog. making comparisons to tank davis who cherry picked pedraza who had just come off a gift decision vs edner cherry and then after that fight refused to fight a top 10 opponent for over 4 years. hmmm yeah not the same but welcome to boxingscnee the qanon of boxing

it's called protecting your 0, unfortunately it seems to be held in extremely high regard by some fighters, it's all they seem to want, once it's picked its gone forever, you just grab a belt and then go into protection mode calling people out now and then and boxing allows it unfortunately
