What made fighters like Floyd so successful was the work ethic. You have to be a gym rat at all times in pro boxing. Its extremely hard on the body to constantly be gaining weight then losing it rapidly. Every pro fighter should stay in fighting shape year round IMO. Tank could do big things with more discipline and a better work ethic.
And even more so in tanks case because he just doesnt have the frame to fight at welterweight or higher. 140 is his ceiling so he better get his eating habits under control.

Well said! I don't think these drastic weight cuts are healthy for fighters! Fighters should be no more than 20lbs. from their fighting weight! Spence said he was over 180lbs. before the Porter fight! That's insane!
